Back about 1960, my destitute buddy and I were taking a college night course, as I recall, something called "political geography". On our way home he wanted to stop by the liquor store. Oklahoma was newly "wet", so liquor stores were just opening. He asked me if I had some money, and I came up with 35 cents. We stopped at the liquor store, and he bought a 65 cent bottle of apple wine. We drank that bottle between the college and OKC, and I was deathly sick for 3 days. In the last 50 years or so, I haven't drank more than a quart of wine TOTAL of any kind. There may be some high class stuff, but it seems I have acquired an immunity of sorts.
I had my share of "Pagan Pink" as a wayward youth and paid the price the following day on a number of occasions. I've never been a big drinker but beer is my choice of hydration after noon time if it is available and wine is always appreciated with a nice meal. I probably go through a case of beer for every bottle of wine consumed so I'm much more a beer drinker.
