[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for the ridiculous question, I'm genuinely curious. We met a couple last night. They're in their 60s, extremely wealthy, sharp, charming, thin. It was explained to us after they left in a 'believe it or not' way that they are sort of alcoholics, with vodka being their go-to spirit. There was some insinuation that they are often drunk during the day.

I'm not adverse to drinking, but I'm not a big drinker and almost always red wine when I do. Are rich people like this "into" vodka making Grey Goose martinis at home? I "get" wine, I "get" sipping neat bourbon or scotch... I even "get" good vodka martinis when at a public event or restaurant. But I'm just struggling to picture how elderly rich folks are getting drunk off vodka at home. They're not Russian, so I doubt they're tipping back chilled straight shots of vodka (my childhood friend's rich Russian dad and his friends used to do this).[/quote]

How old are you?

You hear a story about one pair of alcoholics (which is not even confirmed) and now are trying to verify that their behavior is generalizable to "rich people." And you are asking posters to this anonymous board to confirm your hypothesis? Really odd logic.[/quote]
