1. Well, I should think so!

A bit of London Dry Gin is a life-extender, I'm certain.

2. Gives me some hope for myself ... huh ...

3. I do believe that the Queen Mum did the same, and she lived to 101.

I have little doubt that Queen Elizabeth will live, at least, as long.

And, I have to admit, I am partial to a good gin related cocktail, glass of wine and (when I can afford it) some actual champagne, too. When I can't afford it, some Barefoot Bubbly does just fine.

10. prosecco.

good champagne substitute. very affordable.

12. Very tasty, indeed!

And whenever I buy a sparkling wine that doesn't quite work, for my taste, I use it to make Mimosas.

13. unless it is totally ceremonial,

i'd rather spend $30 on a bottle of prosecco than $50/60 for a bottle of champagne.

4. Why Not?

It certainly doesn't seem to be doing her any harm.

5. She'll have to double that if herr drumpf ever visits!

6. Never trust s world leader

who doesn't drink, is what I say.

7. Party on, Betty!

8. I've always thought I would probably make a good friend with her.

Seems like an American introvert with a sympathetic shoulder and no inclination to ever talk to anyone about what she hears who can go head to head with the cocktails would be just what the doctor ordered.

9. her mom liked gin soaked raisins. her mom lived a long time too.

11. She's an old lady now. . . It certainly isn't going to hurt her at this point.

14. Why not with all those Beefeaters to keep HRH company.

[Mme. Defarge]

15. Pourquoi pas, indeed!

"Gin was mother's milk to her."

16. D'accord

Bonjour ma belle amie.
