When people are made to think quickly, they report feeling happier as a result. They also say they are more energetic, more creative, more powerful, and more self-assured. In short, they reported a whole set of experiences associated with being "manic."

"IT’S been going on for years, actually. When I was in college and went out with my oversize football player boyfriend, we’d order drinks, and every time I’d be served the frosty piña colada with the pink paper umbrella that he’d ordered, and he’d be served the tough-guy Scotch-rocks that was mine..."

I drink wine (mostly white), and I drink Guinness on tap, but mostly what I drink is Jack Daniels Single Barrel. Since I am a small, round, pink, silver-haired woman of a certain age, this tends to confuse waitstaff.
I expect them to get over it.

I am apparently allergic to Guinness. I'm thinking of developing a Scotch habit, because lord knows I can't quite manage thinking cider is anything more than a soft drink...
