🍻 HAPPY EVERY HOUR: Best Day Brewing’s Galaxy Ripple IPA is so fragrant it should be bottled as a candle (or, dare we say, a Glade PlugIn).
🛫 SOBER EVENTS: Nashville’s “Friends in Dry Places” tour is back — bigger, better, and now with more Dolly.
💃 SOBER POPCULTURE: We’ve rounded up 11 sober fashion bloggers who are proving that sober is the new chic — and yes, it does go with everything. Plus, don’t miss our TMZ-style sober newsflash that’s equal parts glam and grounded.

“The Lincoln Lawyer” Season 3 Review: A Recovery Disappointment
Season 3 of “The Lincoln Lawyer” has finally dropped. While fans were eager to see Mickey Haller back in action, this season might leave you wanting more — especially if you’re hoping for a deeper exploration of recovery.
#QUITLIT
Kristi Coulter’s “Nothing Good Can Come of This”
I remember the first time I came across Kristi Coulter’s essay, “Enjoli,” the second essay in her book, “Nothing Good Can Come From This.” It took me right back to when the Enjoli commercial debuted on television. I was only thirteen then, and I couldn’t help but dream of becoming a version of the twenty-four-hour woman portrayed in the ad — flashy, skilled in the kitchen, and oozing with sex appeal. I’d watch the commercial, then unfairly compare the glamorous model to my mother, who took us to the grocery store in curlers. I figured out quickly which woman I wanted to be and then spent decades trying to achieve the unachievable.
HAPPY EVERY HOUR
Best Day Brewing – Galaxy Ripple Imperial IPA – Smells SO Good It Should Be a Glade PlugIn
Get excited and get spacey because this week, we are joined by our faithful friend from the freakiest coast. I’m talking about Best Day Brewing, a brewery that popped up out of nowhere one day with three kick-ass brews and has returned with a new galactic treat. I want to mention that I believe I previously credited Best Day Brewing to Waunakee, Wisconsin, but in truth, it seems they only distribute through the Midwest and actually find themselves firmly planted in California. That’s probably why their hops are so damn dank and fresh.
