She has some interesting views on politics and I bet she would make a fantastic wife and mother." It's always, "Holy shit -- ABBA was wayyy outrageous last night." Sigh. I blame John Stamos.

My favorite is "You really like the hard stuff" or "I used to be able to drink like you until I had kids" or "You have a hollow leg..." I always just smile and walk away. Those folks are usually looking for ammo.
There's always an old partner somewhere who'll drink and smoke with you. Find him.
NEVER discuss religion while drunk. Lord, has that one cost me in the past... I made some crack years ago about how you'd have to be shit for brains to be pro-life, only to have a guy tell me his wife had endometriosis and couldn't have children, and that people like me took the easy way out and deprived he and his wife of available adoptable children. He then hit me with a screed about the decline of western civilization, and I had to eat every syllable.
