Part of the fun in developing your palate includes working your way up the adult-beverages ladder. I started out drinking cheap beer (proudly brewed in my home state of Wisconsin) and Rum and Coke. I’ve since moved up to craft beer (although inexpensive “adjunct” beer is in my fridge too), red wine (with some white wine in the Summer), and spirits, also known as “hard liquor.”
Unlike beer and wine, spirits are endlessly flexible, as they can be enjoyed alone (no refrigeration needed), on ice, or as the foundation for an endless variety of cocktails.

Or you can volunteer for a nonprofit organization that does work you feel strongly about, such as domestic violence, animal abuse/rescue, cancer (or any disease), or homelessness. You can volunteer at a school, at your church, at a museum or library, in the hospital, at the local food pantry or soup kitchen. The possibilities are endless, yet the need is immense.
