I'm one of those people who only drink one or two drinks at home.

If I'm out with people, I usually drink a few just to be more social and talkative. But I don't enjoy the drinks. I still have alcohol in my house that was gifted to me last Christmas.

Never saw my parents drink growing up, and I didn't really care to try it more until mid-20s. It's the same with my siblings. After mid-20s and working, networking and dating more, I became far more social and realized that a lot of people love drinking.

Anyway, I'm lucky that alcohol never took hold of me.

My father had a near death experience when he nearly drawn as a child.
Time stopped, he was in the tunnel people are talking about on the way to the light extremely fast. But then he came back.
He talked about it fist time about 30 years after it happened.
Hey good for an immigrant dad still!

I'm the kind of 1-2 Glas drinkers people hate or admire. It was the same with cigarettes when I was younger.
The way Keith is with potato chips I'm with drinking. I feel it's enough after a glass and don't want to drink more or get bored with alcohol for longer periods of time overall. So I'm not and addict but I have obsessive thoughts and had to be in therapy for the depression from it so I have other problems. ( it got better)

One sec. Did you just say he was in The Tunnel so close to The Light?

Yes

[Apia resurrected]

That's what he told. He didn't name it otherwise. My father isn't a religious man.

[Apia resurrected]

He had a text book near death experience.

[Keith]

I would say so

He said btw this happened to me when I was 8 or so and I never told anyone.
And something about everything being very fast and starting as a spiral.
Out of reality, into the tunnel to the light and back. He came back and didn't tell his parents ever.
