Moderation is the key to healthy drinking. It's the difference between one beer and one hundred beers. It wouldn't be considered excessive if you were doing it in moderation. That's the key to making sure you're not one of the 16% included in Arizona's adults drinking excessively state. Moderation can be difficult when you're in the dry heat and there's an icy margarita staring at you.
Arizona is well known for its hot climate, which can be blistering and draining. You kind of need a drinking respite. The thing about margaritas and hot days is that together they can create powerful hangovers. Powerful hangovers can only be defeated with more drinking. Thus, the cycle continues.
