Has anybody else lost their taste for alcohol?

Next time, When...............

I was teetotal until I was into my forties and was always having to justify this to people. Eventually when drink driving became a no-no people stopped hassling me and just assumed I was the designated driver. The Wonderful Man at this time was also teetotal and on several occasions he was told to his face that because he didn't drink he wasn't a 'real' man!
Now we have apparently become 'real' as we occasionally drink alcohol these days. I like a glass of white wine, especially if it sparkles and the WM has the odd glass of whisky. I am developing a taste for the liqueurs I've been making at home during the last few years, but I have enough unopened bottles to reassure me that I'm not yet out of control.
We still don't actually drink very much and I have managed to keep a couple of 'normal' sized wine glasses so that I know exactly how many units I'm consuming. Most wine glasses nowadays hold far more than standard measures.

I am very pleased to see that all my grandchildren don't tolerate drink driving. They have a designated driver , or share a taxi. I shudder when I remember how I drove after drinking heavily, of course believing that I was somehow a better driver.

When we lived in Cornwall I used to work behind the bar at the Truro Real Ale festival. Everyone who came in was given a souvenir glass to go round and get their real ales. You wouldn't believe the numbers who used to creep over to us with their glass and ask for a lager or a pint of Coke. Not the most hardened drinkers I've ever come across!
