    5 book characters I'd like to have drinks with

    5/28/2015

    We all know the benefits of staying hydrated. Even better, research shows that moderate alcohol use has its benefits: besides raising your "good" cholesterol and possibly helping you fight off colds, it can improve your libido (but we knew that already) and even help you live longer.  

    It's possible that who you drink with makes all the difference, and on that note, here are five book characters I'd totally throw one back with if given the chance.

    Picture
    1. Katniss Everdeen (whiskey)
    This girl could do shots with the best of them and then turn right around and fire an arrow into a dirt bag's Harley at 100 yards. She might be a little quiet at first, but after a few rounds I'm betting Katniss might really get chatty about what it was really like to save Peeta's butt every time he got in trouble.

    Picture
    2. Stephanie Plum (beer)
    A modern-day mix of Nancy Drew and Dirty Harry, this girl has been known to tie one on more than once. Janet Evonavich, the series author once said "If Mickey Spillane wrote Archie and Veronica, Stephanie would be Betty." Although Plum has gotten more stable and responsible as the series has gone on, I still think she'd be a blast at a dive bar up north. I'd just have to be sure she left her gun at home before we headed out drinking.

    3. Anna Karenina (vodka)
    Because, duh, she's Russian. But also because she'd have some pretty great secrets to spill, and although she might very well be a depressing drunk, sometimes that's what a woman needs when she finds herself torn between two lovers.

    4. Elizabeth Bennet (tea, of course)
    I'm not always out to get a buzz; there are plenty of afternoons where I love to while away the hours gabbing about books and politics and Orange is the New Black. Tea with Liz would be a blast, and I'm betting I could get some good relationship advice as well.

    Picture
    5. Ramona Quimby (milkshake)
    My childhood hero, Ramona had the guts to say "guts" when everyone else was scared. I'd love to take her to Jersey Junction and share a peanut butter banana milkshake and tell her everything was going to be okay. Because Ramona was a lot like me, and I don't feel like I heard that nearly enough growing up. The least I could do is say it to Ramona.

    This article made me laugh so hard. But if I were to choose between these characters, I would love to have some drinks with Katniss Everdeen too! She's a strong and clever woman who won two seasons of Hunger Games in a row. Only great people can do that, and I want to ask her several questions on how she made everything possible. I am a huge fan of the story, since Suzzanne Collins was able to give justice to the each and every character she wrote there. So, I want to invite Katniss over a bottle of tequila!
