Tynan, really, who cares? Personally, I don't get this post. You write, "I've never had a drink in my life," and then go on to describe sampling a few -- Riesling, red wine, vodka -- all of which tasted foul to you. You either never have had a drink in your life, or you have.
Then you end writing how strong you were never to give in and try it....yet you did!
It's cool that you don't drink, it's your business (though you're hardly the first to do so based at least in part on the fact that you don't think booze tastes good -- I mean, who indulges in anything they think tastes bad). I just don't know why you need to go on for 1,500 words about it. It's like you're trying to convince yourself you made the right call, and need other teetotalers out there to somehow validate your choice. If you're so secure, you wouldn't need to write a post like this.
