Cheers to our differences

I have two very different daughters. One is a pool-playing beer drinker, the other a health freak gym bunny cocktail-lover.

Let's face it, the divide between these two groups is as clear as a frothy pint of lager versus a well-mixed margarita. And their tastes in alcohol definitely bring out different personality traits.

The beer lover values comfort and simplicity. She'll show up at a party in jeans and a T-shirt, not overly concerned about impressing anyone. Life is about the essentials: friends, food and a beverage that doesn't require a thesaurus to describe it.

She likes her beer the way she likes her life - straightforward. No need for a fancy garnish or a sprig of rosemary that she'll have to fish out of her glass.
