I think the last 10 years of my life can be summed up in 7 beverages:
water, wine, green tea, coffee, skim milk, vodka. Very, very few exceptions.

I love this memoir.

The only store my siblings and I could walk to when we were young sold only Clearly Canadian and LaCroix mineral water. As a result, we thought Clearly Canadian was the coolest beverage ever.

I had forgotten about it until now.

The WalMart knockoff brand of Clearly Canadian is called Clear American. (Of course.)
