You can't choose your family, but you can choose to leave your family shortly after the last scraps of dessert go down. They'll be belching and patting their guts, and you'll need a sanity-restoring drink. Some of our favorite bars keep the not-at-home fires burning for Fat Thursday: the Baranof in Greenwood, karaoke at Bush Garden in the ID (have dinner at China Gate beforehand), and Liberty, Moe Bar, and the newly de-cobwebbed Canterbury on Capitol Hill. (There are more. Search for open bars in your neighborhood, and join the other merry holiday refugees, at thestranger.com/chow.)
