The subtle euphoria, colloquially known as a 'buzz', experienced as the result of the consumption of fine wine or spirits, is one of life's greatest pleasures, especially if the potential for hypertension is unrealized. It clears the mind of all unnecessary thoughts and opens it up to transcendental possibilities, otherwise clouded by the pressing issues of the day. It can transform our world outlook to one of affirmation and acceptance, pushing the cobwebs of cynicism and doubt to the outer edges of awareness. It is capable of bringing food, friends and conversation into a harmonious balance, blurring the lines of difference and polarity. A well stocked wine cellar or liquor cabinet promotes civility in a way that sober diplomacy never can.
Buzz responsibly.
