Quarterly Bender

A scheduled day of intentional binge-drinking with your inner circle that occurs every three months on a random weekday. The strict rules include mid-week timing (Monday through Wednesday) and a no-Irish-exit policy, because apparently nothing says "responsible adult" like planned weekday debauchery with mandatory attendance.
