Have you ever noticed how the older a person gets, the worse the drink choices they have to offer their guests? No, you haven't? Well, I'll explain my theory.
When I was younger, we'd go to my grandparents and they'd have an entire refrigerator full of soda (yes, I call it soda!). They had Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, A&W, Squirt, etc. Over the years, though, the beverage choices have dwindled to just root beer and 7-Up (I only drink 7-Up when I have to throw up).
The reason the dwindling has happened may be because we don't visit their house as often or that our family doesn't drink soda. At our house, our "beverage fridge" contains mostly beer and milk along with any beverages the parentals have to drink before a major medical exam.
But even at other houses I've been to, the beverage choices are few. No, I don't want to drink water from that same moldy green water container that you've had my entire lifetime and then some (Peshak's, you know what I'm talking about).
And now that I'm older, the only beverage I am offered is coffee. I love coffee, don't get me wrong. But I don't want to have to smell it every time I take a piss. And if you offer a person a drink, please be sure that the mugs or glasses are well kept. No lipstick or matter from drinks past. We live in a civilized society, folks.
So keep your fridge stocked with delicious beverages. The mowing boy might enjoy a nice iced tea!
That's it for me!
