All this and I just did a redneck wake last week. My aunt and uncle, who hosted it (not the ones who took care of Grandma) are absolute rich rednecks, and there was, like, a mountain of cheap beer, enough to accommodate a large family whose members mostly inherited Grandpa's ability to put away an obscene amount of alcohol and barely feel it.

We still have a few like that where I work, and not all of them are older which saddens me greatly.
