I live healthily, drink plenty of water and exercise when I can, but I also suffer from depression. I've never been big on alcohol but I do enjoy an interesting cocktail now and then when I am having a good day (never, never when I am down).
I agree with your experiences of taste - I find 'classic' spirits bland and horrid, beer is only appealing in batter and sauvignon blanc is the only wine I've ever enjoyed.
Not that any of this matters, but I was wondering if you are a coffee drinker? Together with drugs and smoking, that is something else I do not touch.
