In a culture where sipping "rosé all day" is seen as the epitome of relaxation, "grabbing a drink" the only way to network; and meeting at a bar the quintessential "first date", many of us are left wondering if drinking alcohol really is the only way to cultivate joy and connection in life. Jardine Libaire and Amanda Eyre Ward wanted to live spontaneous and luxurious lives, to escape the ordinary and enjoy the intoxicating.

Like cuts, coming first in words as they tore little pieces of her innocence, trust and self-worth, evolving into the physical form with a smack to the head, a cuff to the ear and at times, welts and bruises on her backside. But the greatest damage of all was what you couldn't see. A soul, torn asunder, left with an open wound, a vast emptiness and a hunger that screamed to be fed. Lyndsey wanted nothing more than to be on her own. The problem was, that's what she'd been doing her entire life. She didn’t ...

My father was supposed to be looking for work, but he would take off with my blood uncles every day, so it got to be that I never saw either parent for long periods of time.

Where do we find truth? It is true the sun comes up everyday in every country on earth. The law of gravity is true, each time I throw a rock high in the sky it will return. As adolescents we would find the largest boulder we could dislodge then roll it up to the edge of a steep ravine to let it roll downhill taking everything in it’s path out, so for every force there is an opposite and equal force, that is true.
