Even though you're technically not drinking alone if you crack a beer with Fido in the room, sometimes it's nice to get out and mingle with others. And now you can, without needing to find a pet sitter.

.

Opening this summer in Orlando, owners can visit Boozehounds Dog Bar, an off-leash dog park that also slings adult beverages.

.

Owners Paul Jaszczenski and Lainie Pekich came up with the idea after noticing their German Sheppard wasn't happy while they dined out, and they would become "bored" when cocktail-less at the dog park.

.

State regulations will require patrons to become "members" of the park before sipping suds, which will cost $10 for a day pass or $140 annually.
