MAKE IT A DOUBLE: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]

PROGRAM: [Java]

Easy one to offset the decidedly harder Fireball puzzle yours truly wrote that should be in your inbox (if you’re a subscriber, naturally). Of course, you can always solve Downs-only if you need that difficulty fix. Or, you can do shots while solving today’s puzzle. Let’s say, after you finish a corner, drink. If you have to ask somebody/Google for an answer, drink. If you grind to a halt, drink. Etc. Etc. Should make for an interesting solve. Enjoy.

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.

Not all that “easy” for this camper, and the triple letter in 27A threw me for a while, but a lot of fun.
