At 70+ years, I'm on a boatload of medications for a boatload of age-related conditions, therefore, I drink no alcohol(Besides, all my medication bottles clearly state "Don't drink alcohol or operate heavy machinery")LOL
I live on the 8th floor of a loft apartment in the heart of the city - wonder what heavy machinery I should avoid. They couldn't possibly mean my wheelchair, could they???
Now if we rewind about 50 years, I was in the military, stationed in Washington, DC and I was a typical party animal and bourbon was my drink of choice Ahhhh.... those were the days.

Prefer Hot Tea, especially Prince of Wales, Lady Grey (regular and decaf), Sugar cookie and Amoretta if I can locate it.
But as others have mentioned over the lips is a good prospect. But then I have lost a few dribbles.

Back in my yonger days I was quite the party girl but after having kids I did a complete turn around and didnt' drink hardly anything till the youngest was about 2 then the nightly vodka and cranberry came out for sanity purpose. At the time I had 4 kids under the age of 7, I was out of my mind and needed something to calm me down.
My Grams always called it Happy Hour at home, because mom got happy with in the hour, and if mama is happy the house is happy.

I like a gin and tonic but don't always have tonic water here so I've been mixing gin with ginger ale and I love it. I used to be a beer drinker and one day said to my hubby...do not buy me any more beer. I WILL order a draft beer when we go out but no more at home.
I'm not a wine lover but I will drink a small glass of white wine and it has to be dry.
I've heard about some of the flavored vodkas but haven't tried them...yet.
My grandmother told her doctor that she couldn't get to sleep at night and he finally told her to drink a small glass of wine about an hour before she went to bed. She tried it...it worked. She lived to age 94...died in 1987. She was not a drinker at all...told me about the time they went somewhere with friends and both ladies got a mixed drink. Both of them got dizzy since they weren't used to drinking...this was in 1938...I think.
