...chat about the things people always talk about in bars. "How are they treating you at Grumman," one man says to another as they sip their Schlitz and Schaffer. "Not bad, but I'm not going anyplace," he replies. A little further down the rubbed wood bar, a scotch drinker banters with the barmaid, asking how she likes the heat. "Most of the time it's not too bad," she says tossing her bobbed head. "I have a very nice apartment with a fan." The man looks at her pensively for a moment and then returns to his drink...

Long envious of the outpouring of American sentimentality for the boozy, poetic republic to the south...
...people who are interested in American drinking habits-and enjoy arguments about statistics-the latest edition of the liquor industry's Handbook brought some more or less momentous information. The bourbons still reign over all (two to one over Scotch), but vodka, the biggest new "white liquor," passed gin last year, 12.9 million to 12.4 million cases.
