I've never liked the taste of alcohol.

I think it's gross. 🤮

And for a lot of my life, friends would try to convince me to drink.

Sure, I've had a few sips. I've tasted different alcohols. Some weren't awful. But I just never really saw the point.

So, now if I want a taste, I'll take a sip. But if I don't, I'll just say, "No thank you."

When I was a teen, some so-called friends did get upset with me. Called me goody-two-shoes and other names, and I did feel a little bad about it. 😭😢

Long term, though, I'm almost 50, and I've never been drunk in my life. I don't judge others. It's just not for me.

And I make a great designated driver! 🚘
