I still hate the taste of most alcoholic drinks today, at the age of 21 (the legal age around here is 18, not the ridiculous, Reaganite age of 21). I really don't drink all that much. I don't really see what all the fuss about alcohol is about most of the time.

Hell, there're some people I know who started drinking, when they were twelve.
