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.

That happens to me too.
