If you still haven’t found the right gift for dad, we’ve mentioned a few good gift ideas for Fathers Day throughout the week, but you might want to stay in Friday. That’s because it’s Friday the 13th 2014, AND it’s a full moon. It’s the first time that’s happened since 2000. So for the superstitious out there, this sounds like a great excuse to stay inside and drink. To help you with that, w’ere passing along a few drink suggestions we got from our friends at Sauza Tequila. Let us know what you think, and if you survived the night…
