Thank you. It was our 41st.
We're still hoping we can go on the long delayed cruise we'd booked to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary ( ruby ) last year. We changed the booking to September this year but we're still not sure if we should change it again to next spring. Happy anniversary!
In my university years i occasionally drank rather heavily, culminating in an open air concert featuring Journey where someone brought a huge jug of a drink made with Southern Comfort, Sloe Gin, and orange juice, which i drank way too much of resulting in a three day hangover.
Since then i only have an occasional drink and never to excess.

I can make a beer last a couple hours. Someone poured me a pint and that lasted all evening. I rarely drink cocktails, any more. I too can make a drink last a long time.
In the late 1990's I was listening to live blues at the most interesting bar in Chicago - Lily's (look it up and visit if you get the chance), just a few doors down the street from the Biograph Theater (of John Dillinger - lady in red fame for you gangster fans) and i ordered a Guinness. Lily's was a place in the USA where they knew the proper way to pull a Guinness before it became fashionable.
Anyway i was drinking the Guinness so slowly it would "die" before i finished. This would offend the sensibilities of the bartender, who would remove the Guinness and provide a fresh one, at no charge. This must have happened 4 or 5 times over the course of the evening, causing us to bond and become friends.
