Get over to Jubilation and grab a few bottles of Left Hand's 2004 barleywine. They're only $3.99. Drink one, put the rest of the bottles in the back of a closet and forget about 'em. Next year, have another bottle.

Don't have the patience to wait? Fine. Someone has already gone through the excruciating process of aging them 4 years for you, so they're already damn drinkable.
