LOL! I don’t like beer, except when I’m in Spain, where the beer is very good (the Spanish Celts were famous for their beer way back at the time of the Roman invasions). The companies are all German now, but the recipes are still the Spanish recipes.

Living in the US, I note that whiskies, particularly Scotch, flow freely at Catholic events. One shouldn’t get drunk, but just get free enough to release the great Catholic language gene, something that is particularly prominent among Irish Americans and also, I have noticed, among the few English Catholics I have encountered.

We have a good family friend, faithful Irish Catholic and older man, who keeps a stocked bar and the last time we were at their house, we counted 27 different whiskies ranging from Bourbon to Irish whiskey (ahh, Jameson). And talk about tolerance - I've never seen the man drunk, but he always has a couple fingers in a glass at social events.

Kentucky Bourbon for Kentucky Catholics - at least that has been my observation
