Being raised in a French boarding school, where we were served watered down wine with lunch and dinner; alcohol was not a prohibited thing in my life.
I went to sea at a young age and drank with my shipmates all through my teen years. Amazingly enough, though I was/am able to consume large quantities of alcohol, I have absolutely no proclivity toward alcoholism, so perhaps that is more a matter of genetics than consumption?
As I get older, I drink only alcoholic beverages I like, preferring to pass on the horse piss that passes for beer in the US, usually for the pleasure of the drink, rather than with the intention of getting drunk, usually!
