    Bet you have trouble breathing the next day. Bet you need an MRI. Bet you go into convulsions.

    No offense, but there is just something about a man that drinks wine that is very, well, un-manly to me.

    they probably don't have wine in the trailer park. you pour beer into champagne glass to celebrate special occasions?

    I mean, sociologically in America we do have this idea that wine is more of a "European" thing, and "European" things are seen as generally more effeminate, but if it was good enough for George Washington, and good enough for Jefferson to toast the Declaration of Independence, it's good enough for me. 'Merica.

    i'm sure her idea of a toast is shot gunning a beer

    If you go to the bar and order a glass of wine with your bros, then you might have issues.

    But if you drink a glass with the wife or have a nice glass with dinner...thats normal.

    Lol. Next time you're in my neck of the woods (Licking County) let me know and you can stop by my "trailer". You can hang with the women in the kitchen and drink wine while the men are drinking beer and Crown. Sorry if the only man I know who drinks wine is my gay Uncle who is now a showgirl in Vegas.

    This.

    I would never order wine at a bar, and I don't order it often at a restaurant, but I do love it.

    This coming from someone who grew up in Licking County.

    I put Licking County into google maps and this was one of the first 4 pictures that came up....so i'm sorry, i won't stop by your trailer, i'll stop by your shack



    and you're fucking sheltered if you think that just because i like wine i'm gay. I drink scotch and beer too...i believe the word you're looking for is cultured. I'm sure your husband chases his crown with his keystone lites.
