The Carters were southern and all southern folks know how to entertain gracefully.

I thought I read they refused to serve liquor -- to a lot of griping from the social set!

That is correct. They didn't even serve champagne, if I remember correctly. Carter was a Southern Baptist then and they didn't believe in drinking.

Of course, since he now thinks that the DNC-approval of abortion is paramount, he has disaffiliated himself from the Southern Baptists.
