I guess I don't go with the flow here in New Hampshire, for me, on average, 4 pints a year, on Labor Day, I buy a 4pack of pounders when I visit my brother. There was a day that I drank more, Friday night at the pub, maybe go out clubbing.

I wonder why? NH #2

I don't drink any alcohol. But I help my state every time I fill the tank in my AK or cars. I live in Iowa. The corn state. Ethanol is plentiful here and I have used it 90% of the time with NO issues for the last 30+ years in all my vehicles.

I do have a beer or a glass of wine on occasion, but if I were to vote, "curse or blessing" , I would vote curse.

I like a shot or 2 of fine tequila, now and then. but as I get older, more and more time in between. and maybe never again, I have fatty liver

Ho ho.  My Scottish relatives get very possessive over their spelling of whisky...  My personal favourite in years gone by was a malt called Bruichladdich (a rule of thumb given me years ago was the more unpronouncable the name, the better the malt!).

Helping Mexico a little.
This is the only spirits I drink. (except with holiday dinners when wife makes me drink her wine, "for my heart")
40 proof rum and coffee liqueur.
Sip it over ice with a dollop of half/half.

Been enjoying this stuff since the late 60's.
Lots of recipes built around Kahlúa

I used to drink my share of beer in my younger days - probably not more than 50 beers in the last 30 years. Now, I’m happy with a single glass of good red wine with dinner 3-4 nights a week.

Same here. I run it in everything. I don't leave it set all winter is all.
