Did you know (according to Wikipedia), Bill Cosby used the Fernet-Branca as his centerpiece routine on his 1973 album Fat Albert?
Haha. Fun Fact. Cheers and enjoy!

(13,980 posts)Thanks a bunch.
I do have a bottle of Ron Zacapa Centenario Sistema Solera 23 rum (thank you, cut and paste) I've been saving for a few years, for a special occasion. Is that associated with any rapists, murderers, or terrorists, as far as you know?

elleng
(131,370 posts)was dad's favorite, and daughter told me she's had it recently w. hot tea.

My Dad rarely drank, but I remember that we had a bottle of Canadian Club in the pantry for most of my childhood.

(131,370 posts)My Dad rarely drank too, but did so when out with friends.

(13,980 posts)He and Mom would also share a bottle of beer whenever we had spaghetti for dinner.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure grandad was an alcoholic, which would suppirt your generational theory.
elleng
(131,370 posts)and no alcoholism; had to marry that!
sl8
(13,980 posts)That's alright though, still a nice chat.
Good night, then.
elleng
(131,370 posts)I survived, and learned a lot. He died a few years ago (after we'd separated.)
Daughters have done most of the 'suffering,' whether they recognize it or not. But they're great young mothers themselves.

(66,522 posts)I used to peruse the ads in LIFE Magazine, wondering what it would be like to mount a hunt for the missing cases of CC. Remember, I was only 8 or 9 at the time. Now that's some good advertising!

elleng
(131,370 posts)Dad didn't need the ad, and I didn't care, didn't drink then, or much now!
Aristus
(66,522 posts)because that's what it looked like to me.
So, doing an intrepid hunt for super-apple juice seemed like a good idea to nine year-old me...
Nowadays, I'd be happy to stay at home and just nurse a glass of Glenfiddich on ice. Why go to all that bother?...

(131,370 posts)She's the one who told me about it. I usually use Earl Grey; sometimes, Constant Comment. She adds lemon; maybe honey sometimes.

Gin and tonic tomorrow.

SeattleVet
(5,484 posts)but I think we've finished the last kegs of those. I do have a few bottles of the Stout stashed away, though.
We may be releasing our Belgian White IPA, which was developing quite nicely last week, and I've developed a particular fondness for our Chinookered Pale Ale (all Chinook hops).
It's great being a member/owner of a brewery co-op!
