“Come on. We’ll split one. What’s the worst that can happen?” Most of us have uttered some iteration of this line over the years. On a tame day, we might have been speaking of a donut. A bolder evening might have found us thirteen and smiling over a small bottle of Grey Goose. A few … Continue reading
