@dbrower rain is pretty rare this time of year in CA. Most of the stuff I leave out is fairly desirable so it shouldn't be there too long. I do a drive by after 3-4 days and remove anything nobody wanted. I expect all this will be gone though.

Just as an aside, I've always found all alcohol kind of disgusting. I did have to force myself to learn to drink beer in college because it was too socially inconvenient not to drink beer. I'm fully trained now: I can drink pretty much anything, even warm beer. Doesn't faze me.
