You've been a teetotaler until now? What were your reasons for that? What are your reasons for reconsidering? As a teetotaler-until-age-40, I have some thoughts ...

1. I’m obnoxious enough already 2. tastes awful 3. Most Benefits seem gettable in other ways 4. Potential awful consequences Potential reasons for change: 1. Makes me less weird 2. Enables me to hit on women at parties/bars without being defined as a creep automatically

I still have basically no interest In being drunk because it seems dumb but there is a whole nexus of socializing around it

1) you can sip and never get drunk. That's a fine strategy. Many drink that way. 2) Low levels of drunks are actually quite excellent every now and then. You can be 100% in control, but quiet the voices that second guess you, cause you to sabotage yourself, etc.

Sipping is maximizing the awful taste factor but fair point

Again, many folks learn to appreciate the taste. If you enjoy sushi, aged beef, good quality cheese, there is an excellent chance that you will enjoy whiskey. Also "the awful taste" may be failure to dilute with water. >>>

whiskey, full strength, "tastes" like rubbing alcohol. whiskey, at proper concentration, tastes like oak, brown sugar, black pepper ... all sorts of interesting things!
