Fine. So we're all agreed that French wine is no less crummy than any other country's, unless you don't like wine in which case (no pun intended) all wine is crummy.
Which begs the question: what, then, is the tipple of choice in the Farquar household? How does Rob wet his whistle? When Firsty is thirsty, what does he knock back? Were I ever to pop round for a bevvy chez Farquad - and stranger things have happened - what would we be quaffing?

Most likely, iced tea. Luzianne, Lipton, maybe Giant Eagle if I'm strapped for cash. Or chilled water.
Far more disconcerting would be the way in which my empty beverage container is simply placed in the sink, while my guest's is removed by a hostess wearing thick gloves, and placed in a box for a clandestine nighttime burial somewhere far out in the country.
But by then, they're usually beyond noticing.

Very rarely. Vitae is too rich, and the measures needed to preserve it too cumbersome. Worse, given the sick, depraved lifestyles in which my enemies tend to engage, there would be considerable risk of disease.

See, that's what happens when someone is so busy trying to be a smart alec that they haven't noticed that you've edited your post.

I was wondering why Sol would be questioning drinking out of Lee's STDs, but then again, this is Flare.

Funnily enough, I did once go to a sexual health clinic. Turned out to be a simple urinary infection, totally untransmissible - I'd just been having too much sex, that's all. 8)
So Rob drinks iced tea. But is it alcoholic iced tea? Are we actually being told you don't drink?! That's just not normal. I mean, are you telling us that when you get together for your litle Masonic get-togethers, to do whatever it is Masons do (plan Steve Guttenberg's return to stardom?), they're totally dry affairs? I'm not sure what is scarier, a sober secret society or one that's three sheets to the wind.

Yes, Masonic functions (at least, the official ones, and meetings) are dry. There's a bit of Masonic Law about not suffering "irregular indulgences" which seems to extend to drinking.
Banquets and such, that's a different story.
No, I don't drink, at all... anymore. I drank fairly regularly in my last year of college, and in grad school, but I quit alcohol, let me see... more than six years ago, for various and sundry reasons, the two most important being a family history of alcohol abuse (two grandparents and an aunt were alcoholics), and my suspicion that I was heading in that direction myself. So I went teetotal. Actually, I'm fairly certain that I'd mentioned that before.

"Irregular indulgences"? Either you mean you're required to keep a fiber-healthy diet, or you're only allowed to indulge in things if you do it constantly...

I was wondering also, are the banquets scheduled regularly?

Feh. These words meant different things, 300+ years ago.
For instance, used to be that "artificial" meant something completely different from its current meaning of "fake," : "made with great skill and talent"
