Do you have any Labor Day plans?

Yes, a three day weekend is upon us and sitting on the couch doing nothing does count as "plans" apparently. for some people.

67% of us will fire up the grill this weekend.

36% will try to get at least one movie in.

35% are looking forward to some quiet time.

27% are doing something outdoors.

26% are hitting a party.

23% plan to do some shopping.

The survey also found burgers are the top Labor Day food, followed by hot dogs, barbecued chicken, steak, and ribs.
What about the beer drinkers? well, two-thirds of us will be drinking beer this weekend. Only 34% said they won't.
