My best friend and exboss drank and smoked so much it literally turned me off to drinking. I never smoked
That can really do it. I enjoy a good beer, sometimes two, but after watching a close friend drink himself to the point where his organs were failing and his skin was splitting - due to said failures and consequent fluid retention, I don't have the stomach for "fun" drinking anymore. I'm so boring I quit after a couple fingers of scotch or fall asleep (well) after a bit of tawny port.
