Recurrence pattern: Every year on the Wednesday before November 26.

DrinksGiving, observed on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in the United States, is a tradition where people, particularly those returning home for the holiday, gather at bars to reconnect with old friends. This night is often busier for drinking than St. Patrick's Day or New Year's Eve in some cities. The term "DrinksGiving" emerged around 2007, and it is also known as Blackout Wednesday or Thanksgiving Eve. Many participants use this occasion as a way to cope with the upcoming family gatherings. Celebrations typically involve meeting friends for drinks, engaging in pub crawls, or hosting gatherings at home. However, safety is emphasized, as this night has high statistics for drunk driving, prompting the need for designated drivers or ride-sharing plans.
