You're right about us being too young to be part of the 50s and 60s cocktail culture, and I think to a certain extent that makes it so attractive. I would go with my parents to have a drink inthe restaurant lounge before dinner, and see lounge scenes in TV shows and movies, and I couldn't wait to get old enough to partake in the fun that everyone seemed to be having. How much more elgant and sophisiticated it seemed compared to the frat boy beer bong party scenes of the eighties and nineties, that I took part in when I became old enough to drink. One of the great things about TC is that you can share opinions and experiences with others that appreciate what has been lost to most of modern society.
