Actually, I was a most excellent alcoholic (am still, I suppose) and had a wonderful knack for maintaining a buzz+ without getting sick.
Except for once at a club when they were selling 2for 1 gin and tonics for women. Man, that was the worst. I never had another G&T after that. Slept on the bathroom floor that night. The cool porcelain felt so good on my cheek.
Now here is the really weird thing: I couldn't drink at all (like I had an allergy to alcohol) until my early 30's. I mean 2 sips and I was puking. So, I was a teetotaler--and designated driver for many years. Then, one time at a family reunion (how appropriate, eh?) someone had beer, and that's how my career as an alkie began.
I love your sense of humor! hahahah,
Shar
