I’ll bet when you get home from work, like me you are tired and want a pick-me-up.  In years past I would pop open a bottle of beer or pour a shot of something stronger,  settle in and relax in front of the TV.  While the alcohol relaxed me, I really never ‘felt better’ after that late afternoon drink. 

Why? Because alcohol is a depressant. It will relax you and reduce your inhibitions with moderate intake. If you go beyond moderate, well.. you know.. it makes you downright stupid.

Now I have a different sort of cocktail before dinner. One of my favorites is 1oz  of 100% Goji Berry Juice (see, I still get to use my jigger!)  over ice in my favorite wine glass. I top it with filtered water and I have a delicious icy cocktail that refreshes me instead of depresses me. Instead of settling in front of the TV, I actually feel energized to fix a good dinner and take a nice evening walk.

Cheers!
