The
period of time starting sometime around the end of the Julian month of August and ending a week or two before Christmas -- according to the Tao of
Drew, within the chapter regarding the Barkalendar.
The time
period's name is derived from the fact that every weekend seems to have some sort of drinking event, holiday, or an excuse to enjoy the beautiful fall weather.
Holidays include, but are not limited to: Birthdays, Labor
Day weekend, Octoberfest, Tankfest, Halloween, Guns 'N Hoses, Thanksgiving, and a spattering of 'holiday' parties.
With Octoberfest, Tankfest, Halloween and then
Sunday kickball every
weekend, Drunktober is gonna
wreck my liver.
It'll be a miracle if I survive Drunktober this year.
