I hate all things smoke. I never used to drink, but now I drink maybe two alcoholic units a month. More over the holidays, not because I'm a lush, but because there are some holiday cocktails I enjoy. I only drank enough to get tipsy once, and I hated it. Why do people want to feel overheated and dizzy? I'll stick to just a splosh of Bailey's or Frangelico in my dessert-time coffee at holiday meals and leave it at that.
As a girl-child, I shopped with my mother every Saturday, and it felt like a quarter of our weekly groceries budget went towards cigarettes, beer, and bourbon. Who needs that kind of monkey on their back?
