			First Friday of December: Bartender Appreciation Day
			:: We are still doing some research on this one, but so far it appears this was first established in 2011 by Sailor Jerry Rum.<ref>[https://bartender.com/sailor-jerry-rum-exposes-americas-tipping-habits/ Sailor Jerry Rum Exposes America’s Tipping Habits! (Bartender Magazine)]</ref> There are some sources which will state it as simply being a specific date, usually "the" date it happens to occur in the year they are mentioning it, but more than one source was indicating it was December 6th so that it would be the day after "Repeal Day" <ref>[https://www.barbizmag.com/news/dec-6-bartender-appreciation-day/ Dec 6: Bartender Appreciation Day (Bar Biz Magazine)]</ref>. A Friday, between Thanksgiving and Christmas makes a lot of sense. This would be the busy time of the year, and a Friday, doubly so. What better day to "appreciate" your bartender with a great tip!

			::As declared by The Museum of the American Cocktail in 2006. The specific dates here (May 6 to May 13) coincides with the dates in 1806 when the term "cock-tail" appeared in "The Balance and Columbian Repository (May 6, 1806), and then when the editor wrote a response to a reader which contains the first known occurrence of the definition of a cock-tail (May 13, 1806). This essentially provides us with two, often overlapping, "World Cocktail Week" celebrations, one during the second week of May, and another specifically on the dates May 6 thru 13. If you're confused, maybe you need to have a drink to settle down.
