Like-Minded: Alcohol

In my experience, it’s been pretty rare to find someone who roughly lines up with me on the subject of drinking, but John Scalzi basically nails it.

The only significant difference is that I never had to do the Alateen thing in my youth; my own parents, though they would drink, were not themselves alcoholics (though one of them certainly did think the other was, just incorrectly). But there’s plenty of people elsewhere in the bloodline who are or were in the “alcohol as the daily beverage of choice at every point in the day,” and I know myself well enough to know that I would get addicted pretty easily. The other difference between our approach to it, is that I’m not particularly cheap, so I would notice even less that I was, literally, pissing money away.

But, basically, nice to see someone who feels much the same way toward alcohol as I do, and nice to see several other kindred spirits (pardon the pun) in the comments.
