The point during the night when the alcohol level in the bloodstream provides the most buzz with the least chance of discomfort later.
In economic terms: the point at which the marginal product of drinking meets the marginal cost of drinking.

Irresponsible or Careless hope about the future.
Optimism is not grounded in a belief that you’ll achieve a desired outcome or follow a desired course. Rather, it rests on a determination to re-evaluate the situation on a moment-to-moment basis, to acknowledge and explore the possibilities inherent in the results you never expected.

Hannah Hart : "Practice reckless optimism"

The powers of self-delusion that abusers provoke in their victims. Malignant optimists refuse to believe that some questions are unsolvable, some diseases incurable, some disasters inevitable. They see a sign of hope in every fluctuation. They read meaning and patterns into every random occurrence, utterance, or slip. They are deceived by their own pressing need to believe in the ultimate victory of good over evil, health over sickness, order over disorder.
- My sister says that love and compassion are the solutions to her husband's battering and abuse. She won't leave him or even call the police!
- Malignant optimism for sure!

the opposite of pessimism porn.
meaning people who rather believe in the fairy tales that the outside forces(ie such as God or the gov't) will keep supporting you and you can continue to be ignorant of current consequences.

A rare condition found only in middle-class, white Americans. that blinds them to reality; can easily spread to other ethnic groups, socio-economic statuses, and in some cases even domestic animals.
The woman's toxic optimism blinded her to the fact that the young cop was scared and had an itchy trigger finger.
