Cyber Booze Makes a Buzz

By Candy

In case you’ve been left out of the loop, Going.com is a website dedicated to the sheer pleasure of being young in the city- any city! They cover New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago–even San Fran. For those who feel slightly skeptical of enjoying an unplanned night, this site is gold.

Going.com is the place to find out what’s going on, who’s going, and how it’s gonna go. With an expansive event calendar, private e-vite system, and a substantial list of parties, concerts, and shows, this website will feel just as lifesaving as the first second your lips hit that Cosmo.

Speaking of Cosmos, Going.com has recently upgraded, introducing the coolest new feature to its site, which allows you to buy your other Going.com friends a drink. Yes, via the internet!

Did your best friend save you with her Oscar-winning flat tire routine on a bad date last week, and there’s no doubt you owe her a cold one?

Have you noticed lately that your boyfriend has been really stressed out over his summer Calculus class? The only way to chill him out is with some red red wine, right? Well, now you can buy him and your whole crew a round!

All you have to do is go to your lucky friend’s Going profile, click on the ‘Buy Me a Drink’ button, fill out the gift info with a personalized note, (A little Chardonnay for my beh-bay?) and a little drink icon will pop up in their inbox, which contains a gift code. Once they find a participating BuyYourFriendADrink.com bar or restaurant in the area, they can head over and enjoy their free drink. It’s that simple!

As someone who helped sneak a keg into the dorms as a birthday gift for a wide-eyed friend who makes LiLo’s party habits seem like child’s play, I can tell you: Whether you’re trying to earn a couple brownie points with your bestie or your best boy, booze is a safe bet.

Cheers!
