You Easterners should be pawing the white out of the full moon, then!! Or maybe I should be calling you Limeys!!
I had a run-in with gin and tonic a few years ago when my husband became brand director for Beefeaters'. I was ordered to drink martinis in the winter and gin and tonics in the summer. I got out of it by getting pregnant. I am strictly a wine-and-whiskey drinker!! Well, coffee, chai, and Arnie's these days, since I'm giving up the hard stuff for Lent.
