"buzz-free"?

Here's the conversation:
"I think this boat is tacky"
"Oh wow! That's way over the line, and you know what? Take your buzz-free banana bread and disembark. That's get off for boats!"

If I'm not interpreting wrong, the second person was saying that the first person's banana bread(which was gift) didn't stir up much hype.

Am I correct?
Just an interesting thing that I'm semi-curious about:)

Here's another possible meaning. If something gives you a buzz , it makes you feel especially good. eg coffee/alcohol/marijuana can all give you a buzz.

It seems it could be a reference back to an earlier use of the term "buzzkill":
