My time in the Navy can be described as TAD, traveling around drunk, mostly on bourbon but beer was a regular friend too, although I never grew to like beer at all. After my discharge it would take longer and longer to get over a hangover. Decided I didn’t like that very much and mostly quit completely. An occasional beer with friends was ok but I avoided liquor all together. Over last few years I’ve figured out I can have a mixed drink or even two and crawl all the way to the bottom of the bottle.
