Costco's Boozy Eggnog Has A 13.9 Percent ABV, So Your Xmas Party 100 Percent Needs It

It's only November 7, but the festive drinks have already started to pourin from all directions, and, so far, they haven't disappointed. There's Baileys' Red Velvet Liqueur, a $1 Vodka Cranberry Lemonade drink deal from Applebee's, and of course, your typical batch of holiday drinks from Starbucks - I'm talking goodies like chestnut praline latte and peppermint mocha.

But so far, none of these drinks have felt as festive as this $9 boozy eggnog from Costco. Yep, you read that right, for just $9 each you can stock up on 1.5 Liter bottles of alcoholic eggnog that has 13.9 percent ABV (alcohol by volume)!! That's enough booze to help you cope with relatives asking you "what are your post-grad plans?" every five minutes at your Thanksgiving table.

Costco's Kirkland eggnog product is actually called an "Eggnog Wine Cocktail," which can be a little confusing given that traditional boozy eggnog is made using eggs, cream and some type of liquor like rum or brandy, but definitely NOT wine. In fact, I don't know how I feel about the idea of combining wine, eggs, and cream in a drink?! 🤢

But fear not, because Costco's customers were quick to notice that the beverage may not, in fact, contain any trace of wine. Instead, Costco might have decided to label the drink a "wine cocktail" instead of "liqueur" due to state liquor laws, as one Reddit user astutely pointed out.

Back to fangirling about the beverage.

Costco's spiked holiday eggnog is made with real dairy cream and best served over ice. According to People, some Costco shoppers found the boozy beverage to be a little too lit saying it has a "strong alcohol taste." But you can always add some more alcohol-free store-bought eggnog and ice cubes to the mix to dilute it.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your friends and head to Costco to stock up on the #1 festive drink of the season (yep, that's right, I'm calling it!).

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
