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.

@billybcgn25 A clear head is the best drug, and a sign of masculinity.

:) Not so sure my wife would agree I've a clear head, but... ;)

@billybcgn25 Drunk men are not masculine, neither physically nor emotionally.

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.
