I like drinking beer and/or whiskey while doing one or more of the following: driving, Writing and/or Performing Music, Singing, attending sporting events (Mariners front row, Huskies basketball and football, Tbirds, Tacoma Rainier's Dollar Pabst Night), road tripping, remodeling my house forever, sampling everything at the buffet, smoking anything, playing hold 'em, procrastinating, building shit, breaking stuff, using my hands, hair farming, hanging out with good people, being outdoors, being indoors, performing acts of gluttony, exercise that isn't boring (soccer, ski, snowboard, sex, surfing), listening to music, hearing waves and playing by the water, getting high in the mountains, going to the dirt mall, camping with a keg, hiking like a blind three-legged retarded mountain goat, weed whacking crop circles in the back yard, owning at least nine ice cube trays, watching pretty girls, and most any other entertaining general activity.
Wealthy patrons and interesting people who are friendly, relaxed, have a sense of humor, don't feel guilty all the time, less judgmental, nice to look at, appreciate art, are legal, like music, don't want to argue politics or religion but are informed, take care of themselves, don't get personally hurt by incidental irony and sarcasm, steal from corporations not people, spend a significant amount of their income on personal entertainment, believe in karma a little bit and enjoy themselves and life.
