As I put a six-pack of Smirnoff Ice (Raspberry Blast) into the shopping cart next to Prairie’s bottle of wine, I turned to her and asked, “So when did we last buy alcohol?”

She paused, then held up a hand and started counting backwards on her fingers. “Seven, eight…nine months?”

Not exactly doing our part to keep the booze flowin’, are we?
