The more we pour, the worse it's scored.
Whether it’s a wine glass for Debbie or a coffee cup for Leah, 1 glass means we loved it (think 5 stars), and 5 glasses means we had to power through it—buzzed or jittery.
So pour a glass or brew a cup—Debbie & Leah are serving up pop culture for your palate.
