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. There are pros and cons to both approaches, so why don't we follow the golden mean and incorporate elements of both? All is well in moderation, is it not? Follow the golden mean!
