God, talking about alcohol has really made this thread popular, hasn't it? Funny thing is, I didn't have the drink afterall. It was too early in the afternoon. It's probably not going to be my thing anyway, I don't fancy vomitting much. If I get invited to a meal where wine is served, or a champagne reception, I'll have the courtesy drink. Otherwise...meh. Not bothered to part with extra cash just to have my senses dulled.
One or two light drinks, like a bacardi breezer never made anyone sick.
But it's up to you of course, some people just don't get the appeal of a drink or two.
