Dear Suze Q. As a Baby Boomer, we still rock the world and rule the universe in our 60s and 70s. Pot and alcohol are drugs of choice but mostly to help sleep. Alternating Scotch (to get me high) with Irish Coffee (to sober me up) no longer keeps me alert, and smoking anything isn't always acceptable. My liver says I can't continue this.
Dear B.B., The younger generations are now struggling with this same hung-over-the-next-workday issue, but because each passing generation is more wellness-focused, they take an integrative approach to get high enough without the crash-and-burn from overindulging. Today's youth calls it "zebra striping," pronounced with a long “I” as in alternating stripes on a zebra, -striping. One stripe is an alcohol drink, the next is not. Maybe even a dooby hit or two to sleep. -SQ
