[Protagoras]

When I drink an alcoholic beverage I may choose something with less alcohol content or more, depending on what flavor or taste I want.

So you have never been high? Or mellow? Or relaxed? Or had a buzz from any of your drinking? You only have had a drink for the taste? Can't you find a taste you like without any alcohol in it?

So you have never been high?

The only high-inducing substance I've ever partaken in is alcohol. I've been drunk a few times, mostly when I was an amateur drinker.

Or mellow? Or relaxed?

You don't need drugs to feel either mellow or relaxed.

Or had a buzz from any of your drinking? You only have had a drink for the taste?

In the past, certainly. Now I drink only for the taste. As a husband and father I don't think it's a good idea to put myself in a condition where I cannot trust myself to drive, in case my family needs me.

Can't you find a taste you like without any alcohol in it?

Sure I can. I just think that some wines or beers are the best things to accompany certain foods.
