Reply #11: Some of us are allergic [View All]

For some people that allergy makes them break out in assholiness.

For me, it is the lack of an amino acid to metabolize the stuff; so it has the same effect as drinking acetone.

It was a weird situation having to explain to the clueless who wanted me to find a "safe" booze: Here, try this one; if it doesn't make you sicker than a dog, we have a winner!

Or the company picnic (for a now-defunct major defense contractor), where the manager was hitting me with "How can you be having fun without a beer?"

As far as other pharmaceuticals, I just figure that anything that deadens the brain is more likely to make me shave my beard, put on a 3-piece suit, and vote Republican. It ain't worth it.
