My RAH used to say:
"me and my family have a very high tolerance for alcohol." (Not that alcoholism is genetic or anything. lol)
"I like the taste." (Therefore he and his family drank it like water)
"I only drink beer, not the hard stuff."
"It's the only time I can tell you how I REALLY feel". (Usually after he called me the big B).
I could go on and on....
Don't miss those days!
