    I do love beer...works better when it is bitter, like the bitter taste the lies leave in your gut. One for all occasions Cathy. BEER.

  • I'll take a kombucha. (Never learned to like either wine or beer, lol.)

    Bourbon and Coke or on the Rocks, CC and ginger, and a few other whiskeys. Wine or champagne, no way.
