follow the golden mean



follow the golden mean

To follow or adopt the general rule of moderation, avoiding both extreme excess and extreme deficiency in any given aspect of life. Some people will argue ardently against ever consuming alcohol, but to me, as long as you follow the golden mean, you'll be just fine.
