Boredom is uncomfortable. Fortunately, we’ve invented cocktails.
Drinking has a remarkable ability to make an ordinary evening seem temporarily less ordinary. A little ceremony, a little conversation, a little chemical assistance—and suddenly there’s something to do.
Ennui Martini considers the peculiar bargain of drinking to escape boredom, when the thing making the evening more tolerable may also be quietly making everything else a little worse.
