Downton Abbey’s third season might not be over yet, but it has certainly been a roller coaster ride so far. From the highs (Matthew and Mary get married!) to the lows (Sybil, no!) this season of the the upstairs-downstairs British import has been a bumpy ride.
To get us through the rest of the season, we might need a little help from our old friend alcohol. (Or whatever your drink of choice is. Maybe tea!) Until the final credits roll on the third season of Downton, here’s a way to deal with the nail-biting tension, Bates’ time in jail, and all the changes the 1920s are bringing to our friends at Downton. Please drink your beverage of choice responsibility.
