The Fake Birthday Bash

In the sweltering summer of 1986, boredom and a thirst for booze led me to a ridiculous idea—pretending it was my birthday just so my friend would throw a party. And oh, what a party it was—flowers, decorations, endless shots… and everyone in on the joke. Well, almost everyone.

Tune in for the full story, a few laughs, and another reason why I finally left drinking behind.
