the Polish believe in a good time because there were bottles of vodka and whiskey being passed around for shots before, during, and after dinner

I’m starting to question why my polish immigrant father in law did not insist on a meat rack at my my wedding. I feel I missed out.

As a fellow Slav (and a teetotaller personally) you should get used to this with us

I'm very Used to It as a matter of historical memory... It's a touchy subject, you see. We are blamed for it, and it's not entirely baseless...

It's been like 140 years since we last plied you with government-mandated booze, though, I think at this point we can conclude that you like the stuff :)

My family had that history, and also a really absurd number of their descendants became booze distributors and speakeasy owners in Prohibition-era New Jersey.

Like, I was looking at some court records for one of them a few days ago, and noticed a familiar name on the next page -- someone else related to me, very distantly related to the first guy, also being charged with illegal distribution of alcohol.

Look up "propination" if you have no idea what I'm talking about

You're welcome:) (The propination and related arendator system are practically the stock of both Jewish folklore and all of Jewish records from Eastern Europe - so while only a few nerds know the terms, the vague situation is as familiar to your typical Hasidic kid as Cinderella is in the West)
