Frankly I don’t get the obsession with alcohol.

It tastes bad, and makes you stupid and clumsy fast. Never mind the barfing. And never mind the liver risk long-term.

Sorry, not at all for me.

My parents were never big on alcohol so neither am I. In fact they at least drank stuff at parties (mature parties, not drunken teenage-bopper hedonistic feats) while I never do.

My husband only drinks a beer to be sociable with people. He really doesn’t like it.

My parents were both functioning alcoholics so I avoided following in their footsteps. I drink socially 1-2 times a month, but it’s 4-5 drinks over 8 hours which is technically “binge drinking” and supposedly unhealthy. Sigh.
