Education or lack thereof has nothing to do with it - I have 2 Master degrees and didn’t hear of Mike’s lemonade until close to 3 yrs ago and I grew up around and partake in alcoholic beverages.

3 years ago, I was in SLC for a volleyball tournament/National Championships for junior olympic vb. My kid’s team was playing, and me and another mom with our two teens were at a grocery store picking up snacks, soda, booze for the rest of the team/parents so we could party in the pavillion at the hotel. The two teens were in one section of the store taking care of their list and the other mom was in another section while I was in charge of the beer and booze. She called me on my cell to tell me to get Mike’s lemonade since one of the mom’s called her and requested it, and I never heard of it before so I went to the aisle with soda, etc. It wasn’t until we met up and I told her I couldn’t find it that we went back to the beer section and there was Mike’s lemonade, lol.

I’m familiar with booze and tv and never heard of Mike’s lemonade before that night.

“Education or lack thereof has nothing to do with it...”

Yep. But tell that to some of the other folks here. I, also, grew up around alcohol, and I’ve made wine and beer, and even set up my own still, once. (in chem lab, actually.)I just never felt much like drinking booze, and with a family history of problems with it, mostly stayed away. Then, about 13 years ago, I became a Mormon. Giving up booze entirely was easy. Even though I was in Germany when it happened.
