I have never drunk more than 1/2 a glass of wine at a time, and that only on rare occasions.

I think it is sad when people can only have a good laugh and a dance if they are drunk. I laugh a lot and people often think I am on drugs or drunk.

I have felt social pressure to drink and have at times felt isolated because I don't. So, at a party, I sometimes accept the first drink someone offers me and for the rest of the night I say "I have one thank you" It is fun to pretend to be drunk. Probably just as much fun as being drunk but without the side effects.

I want to raise my consciousness. I think alcholol suppresses feelings and lowers consciousness. I have seen people's lives and their families devasted by alcholol. Life is too short.
