 Laurel, it's great to hear that you got out of that rut.

Yeah, most alcohol isn't actually all that nice. Personally, I'm not one for wine OR beer (though wine spritzers - wine+lemonade - and shandies - beer+lemonade - are both yummy) so, so far, I stick to mixed drinks. They taste delicious. Never mind that they get you drunk quicker...hehe.

Gutted, I asked my parents if I could go to a friends for drinks and they wont let me. I'm quite proud of myself because I told them I'd be drinking and that the parents wouldn't be tehre. Truthfulness all the way! Of course, it means I can't go. Gotta give my parents credit though- they were both very reasonable about it and explained why they didn't want me going, instead of straight out saying no. It's good though because, to make up for it, Mum is willing to drive me to a friend's house for a going-away party instead of taking the bus
