Issue: I get the same warning when I eat broccoli. In fact, I get that kind of response from my body from a host of mostly indisputably good substances. A friend of a friend is a vegetarian, and from her I've been treated to some... interesting salads. The stuff is good for me, I'm almost positive, but eh. Of course, there's that old adage, "If it's tastes good, it's not good for you."
Another of my friends, who I didn't recall during the other post, was cautioned by his father never to drink alcohol. The reason was interesting: apparently, when he was younger, he was given some and he liked it. Most people, his father told him, don't actually like the taste of alcohol, so they're not as likely to become alcoholic. You, his father continued, like it, so it's much easier for you.
Friend #3: he's Irish/German, former military, and only got drunk once because his tolerance is, well, through the roof. That single moment of being drunk caused him to drop alcohol completely. He's quite a remarkable person, but I thought I'd share the story, though not the details, since I'm disinclined to give the people reading something to dare at.
