My situation was very similar. Never did like any alcohol, but did attend parties in my younger years where it was expected. I avoided it best I could.

I graduated earning a degree in Mortuary Science and working at the funeral home proved the misery and heartache it caused in many lives. Just like smoking and bringing a known carcinogen into your oxygen exchange system, why would anyone want to introduce alcohol into their system to be depressed, unable to function correctly, or slow reaction speeds? I never did get it, but I suppose I never will. Buried and cremated one s***load of them.
