World Whisky Day was founded in 2012 and falls on the third Saturday of May each year. The day supports the charitable organization Just a Drop, which helps to provide clean water and sanitation in poor countries. Bottoms up!
New Orleans (La Nouvelle-Orléans) was founded in the spring of 1718 by the French Mississippi Company, under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, on land inhabited by the Chitimacha. While the actual founding date is uncertain, May 7 has become the traditional date to mark the anniversary. As I’m sure Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville said on May 7, 1718, “laissez le bons temps rouler!”
National Beer Day is celebrated every year on April 7, marking the day that beer was no longer prohibited in the U.S. Passed in 1920, The Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, commonly known as Prohibition, was a nationwide ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. On March 22, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Cullen–Harrison Act into law, legalizing low alcohol beer and wine, ultimately leading to the Eighteenth Amendment being repealed on December 5, 1933, with ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. So, do your patriotic duty and drink a beer today. Just remember, don’t be too patriotic and drive!
New Beer’s Eve is the day prior to National Beer Day, which commemorates the day in 1933 that beer was no longer prohibited in the U.S. Enjoy yourself tonight, but save some beer for tomorrow!

International Whisk(e)y Day, observed on March 27th each year, is a celebration of whiskey by whiskey fans from around the world. The name uses a parenthesis to indicate support of Scottish, Canadian, and Japanese whiskies (no e) as well as Irish and American whiskeys (with an e). The day publicly supports Parkinson's disease research in addition to enjoying Whiskey. International Whisk(e)y Day is not to be confused with World Whisky Day or National Bourbon Day which fall in May and June respectively. Oh, no, no, no! By all means, we need multiple days to celebrate whisky, whiskey, and bourbon!
