    Sounds good but…:

    You are forgetting something very important…The first thing that you must do is get plastered and celebrate your success!

    Nah…:

    It's too early. In order to get drunk for the defense, I'd either have to start really early on beer or wine or I'd have to spend a shitload of money on hard liquor and go through a ton of it really quick. Either way, too much effort. I simply plan on rolling out of bed and going, maybe getting dressed first. Afterwards, well, that's a different story. 😉
