I'm kinda lucky in a way, i kinda detest spirits (of the alcohol variety...) they just don't agree with my system, i guess I've had bad experiences.
Maybe it's because, even when I'm drunk, i still have a certain degree of control over my actions but with really strong stuff I'm afraid that I'll lose that control.
I've taken alcohol from the cupboard in the past, alcohol that wasn't even mine but my girlfriends or a family member... Yeh it gives you a buzz for what, a night? Then you have to face the music of being the loser that stole from family...
