Oh... it's not a very long story, actually. I was at a picnic one day with my father when I was young (probably around 6 or 7). I asked him if I could have a sip of his beer, and being the "cool" dad that he was, he told me I could have a whole beer by myself.
He had one condition, though -- if I opened the beer, I had to drink the whole thing. Of course I agreed, and with a big smile on my face, I opened up my first beer. I couldn't wait to tell my friends how cool my dad was.
One taste is all it took -- I hated it. My dad stuck to his guns, though, and made me drink the whole thing. By the time I was done, I had thrown up twice, and was sick for the rest of the day. I don't remember feeling drunk, but I'm sure as a 6 year old, I was, and just remember it as feeling dizzy and sick.
Of course, beer doesn't make me sick any more, but to this day I can not stand the taste of beer. Some say it's an acquired taste, and I have tried, but I just don't like it.
Incidentally, he once made me eat all the tobacco out of a cigarette when he saw me pretending to smoke one. Guess what? I don't smoke, either.
So... that's why I don't drink beer. You may think "wow, what a cool lesson," but I really think he went a little over the top.

I don't particularly love the taste of beer, but when you throw some pepper and salt in there, it kicks arse.
I prefer the Jim Beam and Coke drink much more!
Cool story Buzz!

Salt and pepper in beer?? Might have to give it a go...

More of a JD and coke man myself, but Jim Beam is cool too

I have no problems with my kids if they ask for a taste of my drinks...
Some they like and some they dont, but the impression I am trying to give is that there is no great need to suddenly need to drink loads at about 15-16.... binge drinking can do more harm than good.
So if my kids see me having a couple of drinks and they can also have some, but not to excess, then why would they feel the need to do it....

I think it's a great idea to let your kids drink when they're with you. My folks let me, and so there wasn't this huge need to drink loads when I got to 15-16, unlike loads of my friends who as soon as they looked old enough/got fake ID, were getting plastered two, three times a week. I just couldn't (and I still can't) see the point of drinking 'til you puke.
Getting drunk is ok, but I don't like it when I start to feel that I'm not in control of myself. :rolleyes:

Ha, I'm never in control of myself, drunk or not. I just do whatever the voices in my head tell me to do. :D

Heh, drawmack; you first....
Interesting story, BuzzLY, for a couple of reasons ---
Once upon a vacation, when I was quite young, we found a sixpack sitting on a rock in the Rockies (Wyoming); and, when it was still sitting there hours later, we put it in the trailer and took it back home. My folks didn't drink, and some time later Mom used a can in cooking; Dad brought out a styro cup full of beer and said something like "wanna taste what all your friends are going to be crazy about in a few years?"
I looked it over, smelled it, and thought about what he said; it looked like p*ss, didn't smell too good (it wasn't chilled, though that wouldn't make much difference...)
I decided I wasn't interested in anything that smelled like that and looked like piss in a cup.
Now, if he'd only warned me about computers...

Love the story, Buzz! :) I have to laugh though because if that were to happen today somebody would be calling Social Services faster than you can say "Budweiser Rocks." I agree, he went a little over the top, but I guess it did it's job, eh? I tasted my Dad's beer once- I thought it was disgusting. But then somwhere along the line I acquired the taste for it ;)
I think you would have made the same decision about beer regardless of your dad's lesson- I think it's a matter of taste... either you like it or you don't.
On the other hand, I did have a similar incident with some salsa and a lunchtime dare from my co-workers which kept me far away from that stuff for a while... although at least I got a free lunch out of it. :D

Precisely why I practice milk, juice, water...with the occasional soft drink, excluding Mountain Dew: Code Red.
Fast fact: American editions of a soft drink have twice as much caffeine as the same Canadian soft drink...ouch!
Why it's great to live in Canada!

I was just thinking that if Buzz doesn't drink beer because of too much beer at a young age and he doesn't smoke cigarettes because of eating tobacco I was just thinking maybe there's a really interesting story about why he's not a serial killer :)
Me on the other hand it is not that interesting. When they caught David Berkowitz I figured I'd better stop or they'd figure out they had the wrong guy.

There's a place not too far away called "Casa Montez" that serves a dinner known as "the Sizzler" ... former boss of mine was a pepper lover, and decided to try it.
What he didn't realize was that it wasn't a dish with lots of peppers, per se; it was just a rather average burrito/enchilada/something that they just poured most of a bottle of cayenne sauce on ... ugh! Quite a different thing...
Too bad I didn't have a camera with me when I saw his name on the sign "X Y survived the Sizzler!!"

Is it really that hot? Well it probably is...but I once tried Taco Bell 'fire' sauce. I remember being there with some friends, and I decided to squeeze the whole packet into my mouth. Everybody thought I was crazy, except for me. So I ate it, and everybody thought I was insane, and I said: "Needs more salt...and a hell of a lot more spice!"
So you see, spicy isn't really spicy. It's: "You call that spicy? You're a jerkass!"

I've actually taken to using TB's "fire" at times. A far cry from my childhood, I suppose...but mom did make a great homemade mac'n'cheese.

I've noticed Indian restaurants around here often give you the choice of "Western Hot" or "Indian Hot" when it comes to spiciness. There's a Mexican place I frequent for their nachos that gives the same choice.
Why a Mexican takeaway would offer "Indian Hot" I've never felt comfortable asking...

I'm not a big fan of spicy foods, personally- I like em bland just like Cincinnati in general :)
My salsa experience had more to do with quantity then quality ;)

Chopping onions is worse than shoving hot salsa up your eyes.
