Well, I certainly have no problem with British amber brews, as well as other
variations, and French premium reds, and other variations.  And I enjoy
indulging either while flushing and/or bleeding my brakes or clutch fluids,
but being an even older codger than Gary I do have to be cautious about
not getting confused as to where all these different fluids are supposed to
go.
