Weird is good. Better to be interesting than not. There's not a lot of weird things here. We're a Puritan state, which means liquer stores are closed on Sunday, they can only sell beer at the grocery store (no wine or hard alcohol,) and Car dealerships are also closed Sunday (which has never made sense.) So it's all Bud, Coors, and other "Name Brand" things, although here a lot of people have microbrewers, but I don't care for any of that. Beer stinks up the whole place when you're making it (my ex husbgand used to do microbrew, I hated it.)

When I have a something I like the cherry lime Smirnoff Ice things. Those are good and don't taste like alcohol too much. I have a really sensistive sense of taste. Pretty much all alcohol to me tastes like rubbing alcohol, which is why I don't really drink. Even as a wild and crazy teen I didn't drink. But, occassionally me and my husband will have screwdrivers if we have a sitter. I have only been really drunk like 3 times in my whole life.

I'm really glad your dad is thinking about his drinking. That's really, really good. I'm really happy for you because I know how important your dad is to you.
