There's a reason I don't drink... it's because it never did anything for me. Oh, I tried... growing up where I did, there was no way to avoid alcohol, beer especially. But I could never drink enough beer to get intoxicated before it made me sick to my stomach. So, eventually I gave up trying. I've only been mildly intoxicated twice in my life, both times on large amounts of hard liquor. Both times, I sobered up quickly once I stopped drinking, and had no ill effects (hangover, etc.) whatsoever.

Being the logical person I am, I just couldn't see the point of drinking booze if it wasn't going to get me drunk. So I didn't bother with it.

I don't get bad hangovers, and I'm not a sloppy drunk...people can't usually tell when I've been drinkin heavily...it's all genetics...

I can handle a dry Entmoot...uh, I gotta check somethin' in my truck, yeah that's it...Depending on where we're at, our place is an option too...course, with me makin' my own beer, there's always pints at g'nads Shiny Knob Tavern... speakin' of genetics, I'm gonna go and try to run off these luv handles...take care y'all!

I don't drink to get drunk anymore either. I can't stay awake that long...

In addition to not being allowed to drink in college I was in my 20s before I could really come to grips with it. My dad was an alcoholic and for a long time I felt guilt. I had to come to terms with that.

I don't drink alone and I don't drink because I "need" a drink. I like beer with pizza and red wine with pasta. That's about all we'll ever have with home. If we're out at a social event (and it's open bar) I'll have a vodka/tonic or if we're having Mexican I'll have a margarita. And I can't even tell you the last time I did any of that...
