When someone tells me that they insist on having drinks with me, and there are some cultures where sealing the deal or celebrating or having a guest in the home, it is very traditional to slam down a couple shots or whatever the local grog is.

So I just tell them I'm allergic and they're like, "Oh, no problem."
As long as I can take open shots or good shots, I'm going to take it.

There's times where I could take all the shots every time I touch the ball, but that's not me. I just play a team game and just take open shots.
We believe, and so suggested a few years ago, that the action of alcohol on these chronic alcoholics is a manifestation of an allergy; that the phenomenon of craving is limited to this class and never occurs in the average temperate drinker. These allergic types can never safely use alcohol in any form at all; and once having formed the habit and found they cannot break it, once having lost their self confidence, their reliance upon things human, their problems pile up on them and become astonishingly difficult to solve.
I'm not afraid to take big shots. I'm not afraid to take any type of shots.
