My father started to drink after me and my middle brother were born. I
remember my grandparents crying. I remember other alcoholics from my
childhood as well. Some of them were beating their wifes. My stepfather was
a drunk too. He beat me. He once almost killed me.
I've always avoided alcoholic beverages. Only a short period at the end of
senior highschool I tried different types of beverages. It was interesting
but just an experiment.
I don't care about the antioxidants in i.e. wine, that people are talking
about. There are plenty of these in vegetables and fruits, I guess. I don't
think that antioxidants is what people are after when they drink. They just
want the stimulus of alcohol.
I think people who are even a very little drunk after drinking alcohol are
pathetic. I don't want to talk to them in that condition. Sorry if I've
offended some of you.
