Introduction

Ted Slingleland is the author of Trying Not to Try, The Ancient Art of Effortlessness and the Surprising Power of Spontaneity. In Vino Veritas Daniel Ross talks with him about why it's good getting buzzed now and again. He also discusses the evolutionary costs of masturbation and junk food and the end of the three martini lunch. Now, if you've got the time, measure yourself a single malt, lovingly prepare a nagroni, or just pour yourself a glass of Pinot Grigio.
