I’m not much of a beer drinker. Actually, I’m not a good Italian at all, in that I’m not even that crazy about wine. I much prefer a cocktail before dinner.
In my mind, a cocktail makes you relax and whets the appetite. The only effect I get from wine is drowsiness.
I am one of the oldest persons in my Park Slope condo. Most of the other folks are in their 30’s. Recently we got invited to a social gathering there, and one of the things that amazed me is that the host only served wine. “Back in my day”,liquor and beer were “absolutes” for a party. I really don’t like wine as a social drink at a party.
My two favorite cocktails are a classic Manhattan and a Jack-and-ginger. Whiskey sours are also nice.

I’m a big beer and wine drinker, mostly red. I rarely drink cocktails.
I’ll consume a few pitchers or margharitas with Mexican food, maybe 2-3 bloody marys at a sunday brunch and some G&Ts in the summer.
My partner in Philly is a big Manhattan drinker..Markers mark or some other one I can never remember,
Averna is an italian after dinner liquer made of a bunch of nuts and roots essentially.
You want it from the back BRG? Then how are you thrusting?
I’m confused.

Geez, you make a spelling error and you can’t even ‘trust’ your friends to have your back.
Thanks!!

The loser buys the beer.”
Right, so like I said he owes me a beer. 😉

I think I was down two beers with THL, so she took one off the tab for me.
Figures a woman would expect the beer when she loses. The loser buys the beer.
Damn, you beat me to the punch line! You owe me a beer.
