Ever wonder how you found yourself pitchers deep into bottomless mimosas while a beaten-down waiter (who’s definitely hungover) hesitantly pours you more and more coffee while you wait for your eggs to arrive? Yeah, me neither, because at that point on my Saturday morning I’m more concerned about finding my debit card than I am wondering about the history of brunch.
We’ve discussed this before, but words only go so far when your vision is too blurry to read because you indulged the night before. Brunch’s origin has more to do with hangovers than one might think. As someone who has taken brunch too for more than he’d like to (or actually can) remember, the history of brunch goes something like this.
In “Brunch: A Plea,” British author Guy Beringer suggested an alternative to the heavy, post-church Sunday meals in favor of lighter fare served late in the morning. “Brunch is cheerful, sociable and inciting,” Beringer says. “It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week.”
Truth, Guy Beringer. But for those of you who doubled-down on yesterday’s brunch and took things late into the night watching the Super Bowl with a 12-pack of your best friends, here’s a video courtesy of Great Big Story that will give you some facts you can drop next week while you wait for your table to get cleaned off.
And there you have it. You have Guy to thank for all those “Can I actually afford this after last night?” decisions you’ve made. You have Guy to thank for taking your hangover from one day to two days after you got drunk again rather than cooling your jets. You have Guy to thank for giving you an excuse to drink in the morning without being considered someone with “a problem.” .

HEY ASSHOLE! YOU WANNA EXPLAIN WHY THERE IS A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO SCOTCH ON TFM??? SIMILAR TO THE ONE I TRIED SUBMITTING MONTHS AGO???? IMMA SUE YOUR PUNK ASS!
You understand that TFM is a completely different website, right?
It’s all Grandex, yea?
Correct. But the content is moderated by people who have zero to do with moderating content on PGP.
Then y’all need to cooperate with each other. See what each other is doing and posting to ensure that there is consistency.
Why would there be consistency? It’s a different website ran by different people. If you’re suggesting that the scotch column on TFM somehow plagiarized your scotch column that wasn’t published here, then feel free to email me. But if you think I’m going to ask TFM to not publish a scotch column because someone submitted a scotch column on PGP one time, then you are out of your mind.
Damn Dave comin’ in hot with the Monday roast. Sorry Jesus
For the Folks at home, Dave just fried Jesus.
Jesus is all-knowing.
Also I can’t believe I missed this but I don’t think Jesus is turning the other cheek on this issue…..sorry couldn’t resist.
Not worth fighting the corporate overlords. I’ve got my own shit to do today.
TFM? I would have to have believed it would be better suited on here. I once submitted an article on here about how it sucks to look really young and be taken seriously in the corporate world then a few days later one of their on and off writers posted a article about the same issue.
To put you at ease, none of our “on and off” writers have access to our submissions so I can assure you that they didn’t steal your idea.
Your not so bad, Will.
You’re*, fuck me it really is a Monday
Jesus did it better
