alcohol is egalitarian. Being drunk is the great equalizer. when you’re shitfaced all the daytime hierarchies fade away, we’re all just babbling primates underneath

@goblinodds @dieworkwear I went on the same hunt and ended up with Vuori Meta Pants. try them out in store. Didn’t find anything that came close to matching the ‘looks formal & comfy’ combination.
