Every family has their intense package of emotions, and whenever I spend any amount of time around mine, I try to remember how much worse it could be. Sort of like remembering those starving children in Africa when you're being forced to eat all your vegetables.

When it comes to drinking alcohol, I like beer the best. I like how it tastes and I can drink a lot of it and hold my own. Beer is what I drink when I want to feel good.

Wine? I think I made a valiant attempt. I know what legs, nose and fingers are. I can probably knock out a few choice words like "woodsy bouquet" and "broad finish", but since I want to avoid any setting where I have to say things like that, I'm all over wine.

And when I want to feel sedated, it's Gin. I've been drinking a lot of gin up here.
