With the cousins coming over, Ralphie wanted them to think the beer labels were worn off due to the age of the beer and that they'd drink only one bottle before making their excuses and leaving.

Works every year, he tells himself.

lynlynch, have you been watching too many reruns of the classic movie "Father Goose" (staring Cary Grant) on TCM channel lately? LOL

Remember the French lady/teacher hiding his booze bottles on him throughout most of the movie?

You can go home felling good when you tell your wife you just had some good clean fun at you friends party.
