Good morning my good brotha. I appreciate your thoughts here. Whatever way we cut it, aren’t the paradoxical twists of human nature such a beautiful thing? I’m sure that we could have a great philosophical dialogue about this over an Old Fashioned.

Maybe I am knee-jerking--as I am prone to do--but it seems to me that there have recently been a rash of "I don't drink anymore" posts on social media, and this book is simply the latest salvo in that apparent battle. I don't begrudge anyone their decisions, in either direction. Yet, it seems to me that a lot of Gen X, Gen Y, or Gen Z, or whatever designation I should use, spend a lot of time lamenting bullshit they should not have done anyway, and concluding that there is some larger picture they can launch onto society as a result. "You don't have to drink to have a good time" is but the latest. Who the hell doesn't know that? And who the hell doesn't appreciate a good Old Fashioned, despite that truth? Both can be true and no deeper analysis, or discovery that you can date and not get drunk, for instance, needs to be forthcoming. Then again, I am probably knee-jerking and displaying some deep-seated frailty that would go away if I put the tequila bottle down!
The title of this post definitely caught my attention! And I’m curious to check out the book. I do love myself a good tequila-inspired romance but am all about balance. Sex, dating and romance is so tricky to navigate that most of us do probably overcorrect with alcohol.
