The Joy of the “Happy Buzz”
How much is the right amount to drink when you’re out to have a good time? Do you know how many drinks you need so you’re happy and relaxed—but not wasted, sick, or out of control? I call this middle ground your “happy buzz.” It’s where you’re feeling the positive effects of alcohol (a little […]
“I Have a Temper, But I Don’t Stay Mad”
