Last Thanksgiving we invited a widow from our church to our home for
the day.  We had some Welch's carbonated grape juice to serve with our
meal; the grape juice comes in a bottle that's reminiscent of wine
bottles.  Sis Lucille (who's in her 80's and doesn't have quite the
eyesight she once did) was a little upset that we would have wine in
our home!  Even after we explained to her that it was just grape juice,
she preferred to have the iced tea instead. :-)

In Texas, it's popular to marinate beef for grilling with beer.  To
cook fajitas it's considered almost required to do this.  Some of my
Southern Baptist friends were talking about "How do you get the beer
for marinating your steak?" Most of them confessed that they actually
go to a different city -- sometimes forty to fifty miles away! -- so
nobody they knew would see them buying the beer.

Trivia: many municipalities in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area, even the
larger ones like Irving, are "dry."
