Name Your Poison Day
In modern parlance, "name your poison" is a phrase most commonly spoken by a bartender when they ask a patron what type of drink they are having. Name Your Poison Day is a day dedicated to making decisions and choices, whether they be among good or bad options. But, since "poison" is in the phrase, there is a negative connotation and more often than not the day is about choosing among various bad options.
