I'm rather partial to an Aperol Spritz during daytime and either a Negroni or Manhattan after dark, but I feel like those are all too fussy for this.  A pint of Old Crow straight out of the bottle seems appropriate here.  All these posers with their suggestions of Ole E and Mad Dog are just amateurs who've always stopped drinking when they got the spins in their dorm-room bunk-bed.  You can come back and offer other suggestions after you've done your first two-week bender. 

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

I went to this biker bar with friends last night in the middle of nowhere and I sat next to this biker with a leather vest on and a mohawk. I saw they had White Claws so ordered a Black Cherry. He started laughing and said “bro, that’s a chick drink.” I said “bro, Black Cherry is the bomb.” He started laughing really hard and was like “I like you man, you crack me up.”

Then the six of us took over on Karaoke. I didn’t sing, but my friend Stephanie was super into singing and super bad too. Hilariously bad. I danced with her upon her request and it turned out to be a fun night. 

We were about to leave and this big 6’3” 350lbs biker mofo said “I’m a nice guy and just want to give you some good advice which is if you stay here until after dark some guys are probably going to want to pick fights with you.” Nice of him to say, but we were already heading out.
