i used to be able to take shots and shots and shots of vodka.  or tequila.  or cognac.  and then some of my friends got older and they stopped taking shots with me and would only nurse a glass of wine or a bottle of light beer. and i used to think, what happened to them?

and now… i not only don’t like the taste of it, but the smell of hard liquor makes me gag now.  the last time i got drunk i thought, never again.

does this mean i’m getting old? or am i just sick of the same bad experiences (bad decisions, bad appearance, bad feeling, bad next day… after a day of drunkenness)
