Oh come on. You didn't say it right. Here, let me show you.
Raise one eyebrow and in a low voice say:
“I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Redhook.”
You are right about the conservatives and the center but when you bark orders at people you come across as uppity and pompous.
““””(Redhook ESB is my favorite local beer)”””””

I might raise on eyebrow but would say “I dont always drink beer because the buzz shorter and the hangover is longer”. One of the downsides of getting older is the buzz/hangover ratio is changing for the worse.

Point taken. I will need to reexamine my approach.
