I'm trying to avoid building up a tolerance. My old man was a very nice alcoholic, but he was an alcoholic nevertheless. So I'm pretty careful. Two of my sisters can drink socially and get by okay, but I don't think my older sister drinks and I'm pretty sure my brother doesn't. And I'm borderline hypoglycemic, so it's not worth the money it would cost me to become a competent drinker.
But I like the flavors that you can get in cooking with alcohols, so I'm doing a little more experimenting nowadays than I used to.
