100-Proof Turkey: All You Need for a Happy Thanksgiving

If you’re stuck consuming gluttonous amounts of food while family and in-laws drive you within an inch of your sanity as some badass child flips on Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving Special instead of watching the Giants take on the Broncos, we have something for you.

In the spirit of our great nation’s annual celebration of stealing Native American land, while stuffing our faces with all the Thanksgiving trimmings, New York tavern owner Paul Hurley has created what he calls the first 100-proof turkey. According to the Associated Press, Hurley will infuse his birds with fruit-flavored, 100-proof vodka for three days before cooking it. As if that wouldn’t do the alcoholic trick, Hurley will then add a liquor-tinged gravy to the turkey as well.

To prevent drinking and driving, Hurley’s tavern is offering free taxi rides for those chowing down on their special boozed-up turkeys.
