I've actually always had an aversion to alcohol... whereas others seem compelled to drink, like I'm sometimes compelled to eating fatty/sweet food, I only drink when I absolutely need to be drunk (there are times, I guess, when it could help if problems are just way overwhelming, and instead of suicide you simply try to knock yourself out - alcohol is good at that). I wanted to try absinthe, due to its legendary status etc., but I just couldn't handle more than a few drops... incredibly unbearable taste.
