I am 90 years old. I have never used alcohol. Tasted it one time as an adult. It was a part of my religious upbringing. I have never been sorry that I was an abstainer. Using that term, I was never critized for my stand. Ten percent of those using alcohol will become alcoholic addicted. Why take the risk? Those of my acquaintance who were addicted died early.
