We're being thirst trapped by some of the most awe-inspiring US National Parks. No flight because your summer vacay routing through Newark airport got canceled since we don't have enough air traffic controllers? Consider visiting a national park instead!  We talk about the surprisingly wholesome upside of National Parks getting a ton of extra attention, especially in light of proposed budget cuts. PLUS: if you have a disability, including ADHD, you may qualify for a free National Parks all-access pass for life! Also on tap: have we officially hit peak booze? With per capita alcohol consumption at its lowest since the 1960s and non-alcoholic beer sales booming, we unpack what’s driving the shift—and whether we’re all drinking less (or more) than we think. And of course, we name our contenders for this year’s Drink of the Summer (spoiler: mezcal and G&Ts are having a moment). As always, we never let an opportunity to give recommendations pass us by: Corona Sun Brew (Andrew), establishing a good "transition routine" for all the WFH girlies (Laura), and 'The Studio' on Apple TV+ (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: What is it with younger siblings? As older siblings, we discuss some eerie similarities between our younger siblings, and complain about why it always falls on the older siblings to know EVERYTHING! Let us know if you relate!
