The Drink You Reach for After Logging Off

The workday doesn’t end when the laptop closes.

It ends when the mind believes it has permission to stop.

For many people, that permission arrives through a drink.

A signal to let go

An evening drink isn’t always celebratory.

Often, it’s functional.

It tells the nervous system:
You don’t have to stay alert anymore.

Especially in remote work

When work lives where rest used to, boundaries blur.

A post-work drink becomes a marker — subtle, personal, effective.

Not an escape.
A transition.

Ending the day intentionally

Just as mornings deserve a beginning ritual, evenings deserve an ending one.

A drink held slowly.
A moment of nothing planned next.

Work can wait.
You’re done for today.
