i think their name was slattery which i suspect was irish. not known to be big drinkers if popular perceptions are correct.

very little drinking in my house. i have no memory of my mother drinking ever, maybe she had some wine at larger family functions but i cant recall seeing it. but she was well doped up courtesy of her psychiatrist and they sort of frowned on mixing alcohol and meds. somewhere around when i went to high school my father started having the occasional drink after work but he wasnt very ambitious. before that it was the even more occasional budweiser on a football sunday along with whatever else he picked up at the german deli to eat. i believe baileys irish cream over ice was favored though that may have given way to vodka once i was away at college.

i think my fathers father liked his whisky, j & b if memory serves.
