I loved Mrs. D's answer about Tonic Water.

It will look like a drink especially with a glass of lime in it.

I don't drink, never have. It's not my thing and it never has been.

I used to work way back in the 60's when I was in my late teens and after work all of the girls would go out drinking. Only I didn't drink. So what did I drink?? Something called TAB at the time. It's was before they made diet soda.

It was horrible, so I just sat their nursing it for hours. Or I drank water.

I never could stand the smell or taste of liquor so when everybody was ordering HighBalls (whatever the heck that is), or Slow Gin Fizz'sl or Seven and Sevens (which I later found out was Seagrams Seven and Seven Up), well all my friends would be drinking these things all night long, and it was like they had wooden legs. I never saw anyone get drunk. I never understood that. Maybe it was the pretzels at the bar.

I guess it must be harder for guys who like their beer.

But next time I socialize, instead of ordering water, I'll get a tonic with a twist. I have no idea what that tastes like. Maybe I might even like it????
