RH> OTOH we've never had a hangover, either of us.
DD> That's because you're both teetotalers. I'm not. Altho I don't imbibe

RH> We've had occaisional small amounts of drinks but have had the sense to

I stand (sit actually) corrected. You have quibbled over beer/wine/
booze as an ingredient so much over the years we've both been on the
echo that I made an assumption. And we both know what "assume" does.
My grandmother used to act scandalised when she had the sip of wine
at Sunday communuin in her church. But she kept a bottle of Chrisyain
Brothers brandy in her pantry for use in cooking. Bv)=
