Human physiology is a marvel, and I find it fascinating that some people are immune to things that are addictive to others. You probably have a great deal of alcohol dehydrogenase in your body. American Indians and Eskimos aren't so fortunate and, typically, get drunk from smaller amounts of alcohol.

At a younger age the buzz was important. Now I love wine for the flavor, and enjoy beer that was meant to be consumed slowly. Had a bottle of Duvel with dinner tonight and it took me an hour to finish it. Very different from my college days.

My idea of a dinner’s worth of wine is 1 or 2 glasses, as well. So that’s a lot less than a bottle. But once I get into the dull zone, there’s no desire to keep it up. Dull is dull. Might as well want to take sleeping pills with dinner as go into a third glass of wine.
