Like you, I use beer or stock in place of wine. I like a cocktail with hard
liquor as well, and also an occasional Guinness. I was reading a book not
long ago where the character told someone that "there are two kinds of
people in the world, wine drinkers and beer drinkers, in other words
assholes or beer drinkers." I had to laugh, though I don't agree with it.
