Give a Toast to National Drink Wine Day, Piss Your Jeans, Cause Mayhem at a Lords of Chaos Screening, Rock and Roll All Night With Kiss, Pay Tribute to Erykah Badu and More.

If you’re on the fence about whether or not to go out and party this weekend, we implore you not to read the results of this new study, which states that the healthiest thing you can do for your body is to get adequate amounts of sleep.

While you’re at it, you should also skip this one citing tons of research as to why companies like Lyft and Uber are terrible for society.

Heck, maybe you should just cut out reading altogether – save for, of course, the list below, listing out all the ways to kill the next three days. — Cory Graves
