Oh god I am really self-conscious about this section. I don’t really know much about Judaism or rabbis. I’ve taken religious studies classes, but all of the cultural stuff here is only what I’ve learned on the interwebs. If any Jewish people read this and are like WTF please let me know what I should fix.

Maybe it’s just me being culturally ignorant, but when you said “glass of iced Amber” I didn’t understand what you meant right away. I was thinking actual Amber and why would he need that…. Unless that’s like, how you trap demons or something.
Too poetic?
Maybe? I mean, maybe referring to it as “Amber” is common and I just don’t know it because where I grew up, the word “alcohol” is synonymous with “sin.”
You could call it “liquid sin” instead, lol
Hah! Not sure that would be relevant seeing as a rabbi’s holding it.
Yeah I’m not sure what the Jewish attitude toward alcohol is…. I know they drink wine at Passover, not sure about it beyond that.
