I drink only very rarely. Call me a tee-almost-totaller. There were alcoholics in my family, but my mother was good at making sure I didn't see that they were drunk--yet somehow I always knew, perhaps instinctively, that I should stay away. Never particularly liked the taste, and never saw a reason why I should develop a taste for it. Curiously, I've never had a problem with peer pressure--when I say I don't drink it's matter-of-fact, like saying "My hair isn't brown." People hear that tone and they just seem to accept it. There are always plenty of other things they can harass me about, and they do, but no one ever tries to pressure me into drinking. Yay for that.
