These Are the Opposite of Resolutions

There are two ways to go about bettering yourself now that it’s resolutions season: 1) Go the conventional route. Work out. Kick a vice. 2) Consult this list of anti-resolutions. Think not-long and not-hard about them. Make your move.

Anti-Resolution: Drink Fancier
RESOLUTION: DRINK LESS

Anti-Resolution: Drink Fancier

You should drink this cocktail called Barrel of Jewels at Article 14. It’s Louis XIII, rye, vermouth, St-Germain and bitters served in a crystal glass. Oh, and it’s $99. Because, you see, that sounds like less than $100.

$99, available at Article 14, 1180 Peachtree St, Ste B, 404-443-8432

Anti-Resolution: Suits. Lots of Suits.
RESOLUTION: LIVE MORE MODESTLY

Anti-Resolution: Suits. Lots of Suits.

First, the Commonwealth Proper gents will come over to analyze every piece of clothing you own. Then, they’ll see what you’re missing, what needs to stay and what needs to go. Finally, you’ll blow that resolution we just mentioned up there about living more modestly.

$250/hour (two-hour minimum), available at Commonwealth Proper, 691 14th St, Ste 123, 215-939-1405

Anti-Resolution: Eat All of It
RESOLUTION: EAT LESS RED MEAT

Anti-Resolution: Eat All of It

Here’s an off-menu wonder at Kevin Rathbun Steak called the Full Cow. It involves a 28-ounce porterhouse and a 22-ounce cowboy ribeye. That’s 50 ounces, in case you lost count or were trying to forget. Don’t mention it.

Anti-Resolution: Outsource
RESOLUTION: COOK MORE

Anti-Resolution: Outsource

Cooking can be fun, sure. But so can hiring Tom Glavine’s former personal chef to do it for you. He’ll get the groceries, serve you three-course meals of whatever you want and clean up afterward. The Tom Glavine part is more of a happy accident than anything.

Anti-Resolution: Driving on an Ice Hill
RESOLUTION: ENGAGE IN SAFER ACTIVITIES

Anti-Resolution: Driving on an Ice Hill

Your mission: driving on the Atlanta Motorsports Park’s “Ice Hill” and Skid Pad. The former is a 7.5% slope, low-friction surface with computer-controlled water jets. The latter is an asphalt wet skid pad that tests your car-control skills. Both are ill-advised for trying at home.
