> it's not within your realm of understanding There's another reason which you didn't mention. It's not personality, and it's not that I feel terrible after a few drinks. I drink very little because the following [1] is incomprehensible to me: Alcohol – Euphoria has been reported during the first 10–15 minutes of alcohol consumption. I have gotten very drunk and yet not experienced euphoria or anything similar. To be sure, alcohol has physical effects on me (e.g. impairment of judgement and impairment of coordination). But it just doesn't do anything mental, for better or worse. I'd bet that many/most of the 60% or so of people that have less than one drink a week fall in that category. I.e. to us alcohol is "meh". I'd much rather have chocolate or sugar than alcohol. E.g. I like Grand Marnier, but that's because it has a pleasant sweet taste, not because it has alcohol. I'll drink a few beers a year, but that's because I'm doing something social, like watching a football game with friends.
