My father has this habit. For him it's 4 o'clock somewhere and wine is his drink of choice. Really, he just likes the relaxing time on the deck with a little music in the background. All the family is aware and it is a gathering time for us all. We bring our own drink of whatever and join in on the tradition. All the grandkids enable him with gifts of a "wine" nature.
Today's card is to him. A glass of merlot and a little Nat King Cole in the background. Here's looking at you kid!
