Bite your tongue! We'd never suggest dousing you in bourbon. Now Tequila, that's a different story.............
Um, I'm allergic to Tequila (bet you didn't see that one coming )

That is NOT true. There are the usual anti drink driving laws here with the usual breath tests, fines, loosing your license as other countries.
I was being facetious Colm Having said that though, years ago we used to holiday in County Cork, round the Bantry Bay area. In all seriousness, a few of the bars we went into, right out in the middle of nowhere, the locals would get roaring drunk and then get into their cars and drive home along these tiny, windy road, sometimes with a sheer drop on one side.

I used to, in fact one time, I was on a date with this guy, and he was saying he could out drink me, made the mistake of letting me order the drinks
that was the last time we went out. And I swear I didn't call him a lightweight.

There's a few I can still drink. I don't know about Bourbon, but Tequila makes me throw up and Scotch gives me a migraine. I can have like an ounce of Scotch before it starts to bother me.

Really? I was never a Scotch drinker before, but last weekend I was drinking Dewar's like I was on death row and it gave me no hangover whatsoever.
As to tequila - my wife once cursed a bartender up, down, and sideways for asking her if she wanted training wheels with her Reposado.

You know, I miss drinking more than drugs. The social aspect mostly. The killer part is, I CAN drink in moderation. Unfortunately, after a couple of drinks, other things don't seem like a bad idea with my judgement impaired.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.
That's why I tend to stay away from environments featuring those "other" substances.

I'm not too fussy really, I have lines I wont cross and so far have managed to keep to them. I know enough people who did cross those lines and then crashed and burned to know where to draw the line.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
I'm largely intolerant of heavy alcohol. Whiskey, Vodka, Tequila, Sambuca all make me feel insanely ill. Brandy, I can take a couple of shots of before I keel over and start drooling. Beer makes me feel ill as well. The only one I can drink in any quantity is wine.

Same here, I'm limited to Port nowadays. Which is probably a good thing anyways cause it comes in those small bottles.
I've never tried any "recreational pharmaceuticals" unless you count morphine.
