We have developed an unhealthy obsession with Hollywood Whiskey Tango Bar & Grill's offer to buy patrons' $25 tab if the Miami Heat lose. It speaks to both the gambler and the drunk in us.

To help you fully take advantage of the promotion, we've whipped up a November calendar highlighting the best (and worst) bets for free booze at the Whiskey Tango Bar & Grill. We'll post a new one each month. Yes, we have a fair amount of free time on our hands, why do you ask?

KEY:

Dan: The Heat will win this game. Watch from your plaid couch. The only free drink you're getting tonight is that old Miller Light can you'll find behind the mayonnaise in your fridge.

Norm: The Heat have a fair chance of losing tonight. Get buzzed at Whiskey Tango but not so drunk that you can't continue making witticisms that crack up your buddies, who may or may not be a mailman and a mildly retarded assistant bartender. The worst that could happen: You spend $25 on beer.

Boris: Launch a nuclear attack on your liver. Do it for your mother country. Coerce the designated driver into signing up for the gamble and drink on their tab after you run through your own $25. You'll be screwed if the Heat win, of course, but that's why it's called gambling.

KEEP NEW TIMES FREE... Since we started New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Miami, and we'd like to keep it that way. Your membership allows us to continue offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food, and culture with no paywalls. You can support us by joining as a member for as little as $1.
