Does this sound like somebody we know?

A lady goes up to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Gentleman Jack with two drops of water.  As the bartender gives her the drink, she says, "I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 85th birthday, and it's today.
The bartender says, " Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink.  In fact, this one is on me."   As the woman finishes her drink, the woman on her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink too."  The old woman says, "Thank you.  Bartender, I want a Gentleman Jack with two drops of water."    "Coming up," says the bartender.


As she finishes the drink, the man on her left says, "I would  like to buy you a drink too."   The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want another Gentleman Jack with two drops of water."    "Coming right up," the bartender says. 


As he gives her the drink, he says, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity.  Why the Gentleman Jack with only two drops of water?" 
The old woman replies.  "Sonny, when you're my age you've learned to hold your liquor.  Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue."
