Or rather, drink beer like the boss - if you work for Sam Adams. Jim Koch, Boston Beer Company's co-founder and chairman knows a secret about drinking beer on the job.

Most people have a holiday party or wedding story about an out of control guest. Often, alcohol consumption factors into the equation. Storming the helipad? Nice. Inadvertantly letting things best left unsaid out of the "vault?" Ouch. Generally unprofessional behavior towards senior leadership and their loved ones? Boom! That was the sound of your upward mobility being blown to smithereens and if you are lucky, you might remember what you did. 

So there is a sort of tight rope it makes sense to walk between relaxing camaraderie versus potentially making a fool of yourself. Like these two.

In an interview with Esquire, Jim Koch, the face of Sam Adams, revealed his trick to drinking all day without getting drunk.

He consumes active yeast, one teaspoon per beer, right before he starts drinking. Instead of eating a packet of yeast as-is he mixes the white powder with some yogurt. The enzymes in the yeast break down alcohol similar to how the liver metabolizes alcohol.

He ends with a warning, “It will mitigate – but not eliminate – the effects of alcohol!”

Now relax, kick back, and enjoy some music from the one and only "Boss."

There were times last Winter when it felt like all I was doing was shoveling the driveway and I would have given my kingdom for a snowblower. This year, to guarantee that we have a mild Winter, I plan on buying a snowblower. I figure the more money I spend, the less snow we will get. And the less time I spend clearing the driveway, the more time I will have to rewatch Game of Thrones heading into Season 6 in the Spring. Still, some shoveling is probably inevitable, so here are my top 3 EZPZ tips for making it less grueling.

EZPZ tips for shoveling snow

1. Spray some Pam on your shovel to help heavy, wet snow slide off the scoop like delicately worded innuendo rolls off of Lord Vary's tongue.

2. If you don't have a giant knight like Ser Robert Strong to do you bidding, save your back and your Advil with a more ergonomic shovel.

3. While shoveling, prevent your phone from being rudely ripped from your pocket like Ned Stark was prematurely torn away from flabbergasted viewers by using wireless headphones.

Finally, some music to shovel to or just enjoy by the fire...

Boring, nauseating and interminably long car rides seem to be a rite of childhood. I remember instigating with my little sisters because I felt bored in the car. Apologies!

Today, it's a different world and enter the saviour that is the smart phone/tablet and its precursor, the portable DVD player. I can safely assume there are less bruised shoulders ("punch-buggy blue!") and arguments because of these marvels of technology. It's also nice to have non-electronic alternatives, so if the content or battery runs out or you want to limit screen time, here are a few EZPZ alternatives.

1. Character performance. This is similar to Jimmy Fallon's "Wheel of Musical Impressions." The first person picks a song, the second person picks a character, and the third person has to sing the song as that character. So for instance, Darth Vader does Row, Row, Row Your Boat or Mister Rogers sings Boom Boom Pow.

2. Audio book. This is a nice option because audio books allow you to use your imagination while following the story.

3. Guessing game. When is it your turn your think of an object and tell the others the first letter of the object. Now people take turns asking you one question at a time about the object until someone can correctly guess what you chose. You can make it harder or easier by limiting the types of questions people can ask. Like only allowing questions that can be answered with a Yes or No.

Good luck on your next road trip and here's a video for the road.
