Alcohol is fun. Its consumption has serious issues but there really isn’t a suitable replacement for those of us who would love the good without the bad. This Vox article explores the options and their challenges in detail. There is no good answer.
Therefore, we call on scientists to get out the beakers and pipettes to create a completely new perfect drug. Please get busy.

We like Tiki bars. Why? It’s a culture of people with the passion for this specific art of innovative cocktails (think rum-based mixed drinks such as the Mai Tai and Zombie) and the exotics of Polynesia and the Caribbean. We think of escaping to romantic tropical locations without getting on an airplane.
The Tonga Hut, set in the California desert, offers such an escape. It even has a secret room for Tiki connoisseurs. We would tell you how to find the secret room but… we can’t remember how we got in.

Don’t worry about getting older. You’re still going to do dumb stuff, just a bit slower.
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind getting older, then it really doesn’t matter.
If you missed International Gin & Tonic Day, like we did, fear not. All is not lost for tomorrow October 21st is National Reptile Awareness Day!! Did you know there’s over 10,000 species? Enjoy!
How do Buzzed Boomers change a lightbulb?
They don’t. They just keep talking about how great the old one was?
We’re reasonably certain that the drunk Americans who spent the night on the Eiffel Tower last week were not Buzzed Boomers. The men bought tickets at 10:40 PM at which time Boomers are almost always in bed.
Disneyland is expanding the number of restaurants where alcohol is served. What’s also interesting is the number of blogs that will help you locate those beverages! So we won’t here. It’s seems most of Disneyland’s restaurants offer something alcoholic so your odds are good of finding a drink without any help. Walt wouldn’t be happy but a lot of Buzzed Boomers who visit will be happier.
Boomer ladies…..How can you tell if your husband is dead?
The sex is the same, but you get to use the remote.
Happy Friday!
Attention Buzzed Boomer hippies! How about a battery-powered VW bus shaggin’-wagon to revive the glory days of your past? Despite no production for 20 years, the VW bus has retained its cult status right up to the present day and soon an updated version will grace North American streets. Rock ’n roll !

Olives are naturally packed with healthy monounsaturated fats, as well as antioxidants like vitamin E, which help fight disease-causing free radical damage in the body. But, if you’re watching your sodium intake, don’t eat too many. Furthermore, health experts don’t recommend serving your olives with a martini. But we’re not a health expert.

Pretend you are on a raft in the middle of the ocean surrounded by sharks. You only have a one-day supply of water and harpoons. What do you do?
Stop pretending.
And get back to the beach! Scientific studies are finding there are real health benefits to either living at the beach or even just visiting. It can improve all around well-being. It lowers stress and can lift your mood. How? Possibly it’s because waves produce negative ions which can produce positive vibes. The U.S. Navy uses negative ion generators in submarines and on the bridges of ships to keep crews positive and alert.
So grab the sun-block and your cooler and head to the beach!
