I Do Not Drink Alcohol

Just one glass of any type of alcohol will get me stupid drunk, so I'm okay without it. Just make me an ice cream float and I'll be happy with that.

Dad gave me a sip of Coors beer back when I was about 10. Tasted so horrible, I've not had any since. I've drunk perhaps 2 full glasses cumulatively over the past 6+ decades.

Oh, well. Perhaps that is why I'm so boring.

I so agree, Helen. I saw way too many of my shipmates so drunk they could barely stand. :(

@billybcgn25 A drunk man can barely do what a man has to do.

True. I played it smart. My boss--er, wife--had ordered me to make extra money and purchase her a 96-piece china set, but add extra serving bowls and the extra tea set. So for $20.00 per day, I would stay aboard the ship when we visited a foreign port, and take a shipmate's duty. He then could go and get drunk and then, the next morning, stop off at the Hospital Corpsman's office and get a Penicillin shot to hopefully stave off any STI/STDs.
and it doesn't taste good anyway too

Are you of European descent?

@helenS No, I am of African descent.

@SW-User That's probably why. Europeans, for whatever reason, can tolerate alcohol much better than people from other continents. I have some friends in Japan, and they become really sick after drinking.
Your decision not to drink is very good.

I'd save alot of $$ if all i needed was one glass.
