The Hotel Sink Ice Chest Beer

Here’s how to achieve the hotel sink ice chest beer, AKA the Dolce Vita beer: Check into a hotel room. Take the elevator up to your room, insert the key card and listen for the slide of the deadbolt, then walk inside. Take in your surroundings with a big smile. Isn’t this nice? Immediately fill the sink with ice and beer. Walk over and open the blinds to let in some atmosphere. Go back over to the sink to turn on the water and fill the sink three quarters full. Let the beers soak and chill in the ice and water for a few minutes. Walk over and look at the bed and really think about how good it feels to know you won’t have to make it tomorrow morning. Find the probably vintage/modern hybrid attempt at a speaker or radio to play music in your room and put on “Do Nothing” by The Specials. Turn it up loud enough to create a nice little vibe in your room. You’ll know it when you hear it. Walk back over to the sink and grab an “already colder than you thought they’d be” beer, go look out the window at whatever view you might have, snap that icy beer and sing along:

I’m just living in a life without meaning

I walk and walk, do nothing 

I’m just living in a life without feeling 

I talk and talk, say nothing! 

And there you have it: Your very own Dolce Vita beer!
