I've already confessed to being a lightweight; I don't think too much of getting drunk. It's okay once in a great while but otherwise I prefer to be in greater control.
Casual drinks are perfectly fine, however. I've grown a dislike for beer. A few brands are satisfactory, mostly the pale ales, but the rest don't do anything for me. I'm not much of a mixed drink person either, it's just too much fuss.
What I like is the simple stuff, right from the bottle. A shot of vodka, rum, scotch or tequila. Give me a few of those and I'll be as happy as anyone else in the room. I'm seemingly immune to alcohol burn (I sampled a bit of straight absinthe and it wasn't as rough as some folk suggested) so downing the liquor straight works just fine for me. Mixing the alcohol first seems a tad pointless since it all mixes in the stomach anyhow.
Last week, a couple friends invited me to tour the wine country of central New York along the Finger Lakes. I only like sweeter wines, but I did find a few bottles that were worth purchase. Wine, for me, is a celebratory drink, so I purchased with that in mind. So I now have two bottles of blackberry mead wine, a muscat wine and two bottles of chocolate red in a makeshift rack inside my closet. Given a couple years to age, they'll be pretty good. I don't know much about wine but it's something I could probably get into.
