I don't like the taste of alcohol but I need it in certain social situations.With a bit of alcohol I become a more social person.
Besides my neurologist advised me to drink 2 glasses a day.

I'm not completely teetotal, but almost. The last time I had a drink was a few months ago. I had 3 small glasses of wine, felt really drunk, came home and was extremely sick. I don't think I should drink alcohol at all. I'm white, but it appears that I might have Asian glow (I go red and feel the effects within a few sips). I don't like the feeling of not being totally in control either, so I've never tried anything illegal.
