On the wagon

I cannot remember seeing our Mother drinking alcohol.  Never when dining out.  Never on vacation.  Certainly never at home.  Whe may have had a toast at our weddings, but I con't recall seeing that happen. 

I had heard stories, while easedropping on adult gettogethers, about drining corn whisky as a young girl and while at nurse's treaining.  But, why did she stop drinking?

It might have something to do with a message I gave miy father at a family wedding held at a secong floor catering hall.  I was probably 5 or 6, trantically looking for Dad.  When I found him, I said, "Mommy's sitting on the floor at the bottom of the stairs, and she laughing."
