So true. Because of my father I was 25 before I even tried alcohol. I have a very occasional glass of wine, and once in a while buy a 6 pack of good micro brew, which usually lasts a month. My brother was the same way as me, not ever wanting to go down that path. My father is sober now and I have a decent relationship, but I always wonder what could have been.
