usually, the only part of my judgement that is affected is whether i should have another drink or not.

Dorothy Parker's Ode to the Martini:

I love a martini -- but two at the most.
Three, I'm under the table; four, I'm under the host.

I agree with Nator that folks who want to maintain their illusion of complete control should not drink.

Re: Can you spell S-O-B-R-I-E-T-Y?

Tsk, tsk, brenna--I didn't miss the point of your post. I was jerking Nator's chain, not yours.

True, I hesitated at "Submit Reply" thinking you might misunderstand; but then I thought, naw, she'll understand Ol' Omnivorous, with the spirit of Robin in his glass, cannot take this Apollonian deconstruction of Dionysus seriously.

Oops.

You guys sound like you don't drink at all. Would all of you be fairly representative for the average American drinker?

This abstemious lot would be fairly representative only if you include me.

Balancing their dry reserve is a tough job, but my Welsh, German, and Sicilian ancestors equipped me well.

Some of them think, because they are virtuous, there will be no more cakes and ale.*

So, what'll it be, luv? Single malt, straight up?

I almost hate to admit I'm not a scotch person.

In my experience, folks who think they don't like scotch simply haven't spent enough money.

Nonetheless, vodka, too, is a noble distillate. I owe you one.

Tequila?

Since it's you, Ms. Asgara, I will.*
