IM13, You don't care for beer?! You don't care for BEER!?

I think you can buy singles in NY can't ya. I wouldn't use lite beer though, you need the full body of a regular!

Hubby and I are beer snobs. We love to try new ones. I'm especially liking Belgian white ales right now. They are sooooo tasty!

Nope, dandylin I never acquired a taste for beer...I don't care for the smell or taste and I've tried many different ones. I bought my ex a gift from Beers of the World several years ago and every month they'd send him different beers...I never found one I liked. Not a problem though as long as the liquor stores stock Smirinoff Vodka I do like wine lots, too zinfendels, chablis and a few others, but ya wanna serve me a cocktail make it a vodka and cranberry with a splash of grapefruit juice and keep the beer for yourself :D

Yes in NY we can buy single cans of beer, so that's what I'll do when I go grocery tomorrow. I am really looking forward to making these!

My mom was a vodka drinker. I've never found one I was about though I do like Absolut Citron for shots!

InternetMom13

OHHHH NOOOO shots for meeeeeee I've done my share of shots and now I stick only to mixed drinks or wine...shots can be dangerous, very dangerous rotflmao Of course that "danger" hasn't stopped me from downing an entire bottle of wine in an evening HAHAHA
