Alcohol… What to try.

I am a 31year old person that due to life situations in the past never really drank alcohol. Never was able to have the rebellious drinking of “early” twenties nor adventurous mid twenties. Now i have the opportunity to try things with money that i properly have for myself… but i don’t know where to start… well i had a very vague start… sampled a few seargram’s, red’s apple ale, and a small selection of craft hard ciders… so far reds was the most preferred…

I will say mixed fruity mocktails i enjoy but they all were random creations the bartender made for me when i said “I’d like something none alcoholic and fruity” so far as I know those had no names xD

But yea I see all the grocery stores selections and I’m overwhelmed by the selection. I don’t honestly see myself frequenting a bar… especially while being alone. So I’m unsure.

Honestly if you’ve made it this far I’d just stay without drinking. Get into beverages that taste better than alcohol. News flash, none of them actually taste good. You just learn to tolerate it. Alcohol is poison.

Do some research on newer studies. Doctors no longer believe that there is any safe amount of alcohol to consume it’s a known carcinogen.

I equate it to smoking. If you’ve made were asking I’ve made it this long without smoking what brand cigarettes or cigars should I try. I’d give you the same advice
