They most certainly can be fun! Christine Dabney would be a fun hostess
for a cocktail party because she seems to have such fun with various
cocktails. I have family down in The Villages, Fl where the entire
community partakes of happy hour daily on the town square with live
music and they appear to have a lot of fun. My liver couldn't handle
it, I swear. LOL
