Introducing the second mini-episode to keep the gang alive in your hearts, like a beautiful storytelling parasite you just can't quit.

Ep48 A Merry Karate Valentine's to You

Welcome to the first mini-episode of the gang's "hiatus." Instead of an hour of unhinged rambling, experience 20 minutes of quality nonsense! This week's tale is that of Niulang and Zhinu, a.k.a. the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl. These are two literally star-crossed lovers with enough influence to inspire a Chinese Valentine's festival. Craft a passion fruit margarita if you want, but that's definitely not a featured drink. The play on passion could have, nay, would have worked. Alas, that opportunity is lost. Forever. Not unlike Zhinu's clothes.

DDB Summer 2024 Announcement

Today the gang checks in with an unofficial doctor's note from the universe. Until at least October 2024, Dragons Drink Bourbon will be on a small "break." New episodes will still release periodically on Mondays at 5 AM EST, but they will be a lot shorter than the usual storytelling fiascos. So stay tuned for some quick tales and take a breather with us. It's too hot to stay stressed anyway!

Ep47 This Just In! Dying Isn't for Everyone

Introducing Sentaro, a Japanese protagonist no one likes, including gods and other miscellaneous immortal beings! Follow his existential crisis to escape death. Meanwhile, Miles and Cletus continue not to listen, but maybe, just maybe, we'll can all learn what "continuous" actually means by the end of it all. Critics think it's just okay—which means you don't want to miss this mediocrity! "It's a story about a guy who avoids everything and doesn't want to die. What a great tale." - Cletus, Native Alabamian "Continuous doesn't mean seven days straight. He could take breaks." - Miles, Spider-Person (???) "I don't know why I still come here." - Ella, Soulless Witch And no matter what life throws at you, McClelland's Islay single malt scotch whisky will help get you through it. Unless it's death. Or fear of death. Or quite literally dying.
