Shopping on Black Friday can be visually described by the scene in Dawn of the Dead where the Zombie hordes bang on the glass outside of the mall trying to get in. And being that most stores are opening painstakingly early, the characteristics of shoppers will not be much different than that of the walking dead. 

Many living people--who don’t crave flesh--view black Friday deals as circumstantial at best, and are terrified of the idea of waking up from their turkey coma anytime before 12pm. For these recluse souls the only shopping that will be done on Black Friday will be at either amazon.com or that of a beer distributor. 

For these people that are absolutely determined to spend their money today, why not do it in the form of liquid merchandise? In addition to the already great Friday specials in Philadelphia (which can be found here http://philly.thedrinknation.com/specials/Friday), here is a list of Black Friday drink deal specials that don’t suck.
