I think that is so healthy that if you can't tolerate alcohol normally, you're not phased by it. Good for you!
I'm with Ananda and others like us. For me, it's a done deal. Some people see their lives playing out in the future without a drink in their hand and I can see the wistfulness in their eyes. That's okay.
If I chose to drink, it wouldn't be one and I know it. Hell, upfront I know I'd want oblivion; a single cocktail or glass of wine does not rock my boat.
Man, I am truly glad I'm away from that nightmare.
I'm so proud of you, Gneiss, on how well you did on your tests with being sick. Congrats. I think it's an awesome field.
Hugs,
Donna
