Some of you have asked, but no, I won’t be posting a Valentine’s Day drink guide. You and I both know that it’s out of your hands, so it would be a waste of time. Unless you are single, you’ll be drinking overpriced wine, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

To be honest, I have no idea when this commercial aired, but I knew that Anheuser Busch paid for six spots so I went looking for it. I’m going to guess you missed it as well so here we go. It’s not a bad commercial, there’s just very little that’s memorable about it. It’s nice ...
