Drinking in my 30s really meant that I won’t get much of a buzz, but will feel bloated and get a headache later. Also, unless I do all my drinking early in the day, I won’t get a good night’s sleep because my heart will be racing.

So…only have 2-3 drinks max for the day and do it before the sun sets so I have the evening to process it. Or don’t bother at all since the benefits don’t really outweigh the cost. Staying hydrated throughout is important but doesn’t really fix any of the aforementioned issues.

Fruit is a botanical term for things with seeds in it. Vegetable is a culinary term. They aren’t mutually exclusive so when people say something is either a fruit OR a vegetable, it isn’t an apples vs oranges comparison.

I’ve been to Portland, ME a few times for vacation and one time a few of us decided to bike everywhere. Couldn’t go car free since our hotel was a bit far away, but once we parked, it was bikes all day. There wasn’t a ton about Portland that made it stand out in terms of places you can’t find in other towns, but the ability to ride around to all those places made the difference between a vacation destination and just a thing to do for a weekend.

To have the same experience in terms of types of places to visit in a day my area would require driving 10-20 minutes between each spot which definitely takes the winds out of the sails for trying to enjoy yourself.
