WINONA, Minn. – A 17-year-old driver explained his somewhat inebriated state to a couple “Happy Thursday” drinks Huh? This was Saturday. The officer didn’t understand either. He ticketed the kid for speeding and underage consumption and called his parents in Trempealeau to come pick him up. This had been about 1:50 a.m. at Gilmore and Junction streets on the West End.
Five fruity flavors. “Happy Thursday” is a bubble-free beverage with 4.4% alcohol. Marketed by Coors. The 12-ounce cans are called “refreshers.” The marketing line: “Why wait for Friday. Start the weekend early with Happy Thursday.”
