I never got out of the airport, Allan! :-) They do sell non-alcoholic beers in supermarkets which I tried a few years back when a son was visiting and bought me a six-pack during another quit- I really could not tell the difference as long as it was ice cold since I never needed booze to be merry and enjoy company. I actually think liquor was a way to tune out or down or used as a sleeping aid much like some people use rx. It is so cold here today, I shall not stick my nose out till next week when we get back to the +20's! lol I have turned down two trips with my children- one to Hawaii, the other a cruise in the Caribbean- I need to suffer! :-)
