When I grow up, I'm going to learn to drink alcohol


As I have often stated, I am the lightest of lightweight drinkers. It doesn't take much to get me feeling buzzed, and I have no stomach for anything much stronger than a Bud Light.

To clarify, I do like beer, but only really basic, lager-type beer.

I tolerate wine, but my one-glass-every-three-months approach is likely to endure.

And spirits? Good Lord, no.

I am envious of those who really enjoy good bourbon or Scotch. It all smells and tastes like floor cleaner to me.

"Sipping" whiskey? If I'm forced to have whiskey, I'm going to throw it all back in one shot.

I'm not saying any of these are bad in general. If you enjoy them, have at it. I'm just saying that, personally, I can't tolerate 95% of what your typical bar will stock.

As always, though, I'll try anything. And I really do mean anything that is considered safe and edible/drinkable. Food-wise, there is nothing I won't eat and nothing I really don't like.

But when it comes to liquor, I clearly did not get that gene.

And maybe that's a good thing.

Now, liver and onions? I'll happily eat it all day. The thought of it might make you nauseous, but just know that, for me, so does that glass of Jim Beam you're nursing.
