I don’t find the turns all that surprising but it is tightly written! Also? White women be drunk as skunks. Sisters I know just aren’t drinking like that.

(It’s evo psych + Bowling alone) I do wonder about race and class differences, though. They get to the social class split in the 19th c. (which is new to me and interesting)!
Not that it means a thing, but Black women in my circles drink more wine as they move up the class ladder but it’s NOTHING like white mom wine culture. Nothing. It’s mostly conspicuous consumption.
Moving through academia and middle class white leisure spaces, I have been amazed at how much they drink. And I’m no slouch. But I have never finished a bottle of wine in my life. I couldn’t if I tried.
Yet these often small, sometimes deeply calorie deficient people will drink a bottle and a half in the time that I drink an old fashioned!
It is wild. Absolutely wild.
Oh! And white women buy you a ton of wine shit. I have wine rings and wine tableaux and shoe shaped wine glasses and wine art. They send it to you, like some kind of secret society ritual quest. So much wine shit. I don’t even drink wine! lol
That’s how they jump you in. They send you engraved wine jewelry from Etsy.
I will debate deleting this part because it might be rude. But also, please stop sending me wine word art. I am Black.
