What's in your mug/glass/bottle during work hours?

Coffee with milk, and lots of water.

What's in your mug/glass/bottle after hours?

White wine in the summer, red wine in the winter, bubbles whenever I'm in a sparky mood, or whenever the mood needs to be sparked up.

Knowing what you do now, what advice would you give to your younger self?

You can be, do, or have anything you want. Do not ever listen to anyone telling you the opposite. And to that point: you are never too old to do anything.
