We all love the trip home. Back to the over-comforted bed; our favorite family pet; long, huge meals; and our parents’ personal TLC fit for an 8-year-old (we love dearly, even if we are almost a quarter of a century years old). But some of us might not be getting as much bang out of our trip home as we could. After all, why leave all of the perks at the door?

Quick Tips

  1. Wine this, wine that – Wine is good. Sometimes amazing. But people who only drink wine are lame. Broaden your horizons and explore the exciting world of beer.
  2. Beer lingo – “Beer goggles” and “frat water” can still be used in moderation, but if you’re going to get serious about beer you’ll want to familiarize yourself with some more technical terminology.
  3. Find some favorites – It’s more than just ales and lagers, though those are delicious. Try as many beers as you can (not all at once) and find a few go-to brews and types that you can count on.
  4. Beer and food pairing – Want to be a “foodie” with an edge? Drink craft beers with nice meals and spend less money than everyone else drinking wine at the table.
  5. Explore the world of beer – In many ways, beer is more accessible than wine, so take advantage of opportunities like beer festivals in your city, tastings at beer bars, and experimental home-brewing boondoggles.

Graduation marks many lifestyle changes in a twentysomething’s life. Expectations for civility are raised, wardrobes are re-jiggered, and use of the word “dude” may need to be budgeted more wisely
