My Grandfather was an alcoholic. He quit drinking when I was 5 and went to AA for 26 years. Because of that my Dad was very careful around alcohol. Because of my Dad's example I never really got started drinking. As they say alcohol is an acquired taste and I never acquired it. That being said I can be with someone drinking a soda while that person is doing alcohol. One year my boss invited me to her place on her birthday. I knew she like Bailey something to put in her coffee. I got it for a present. She thought that because I didn't drink, I was against alcohol.
