can't handle a lot of alcohol. Which is good.

Same thing with OTC and prescription meds. Most of the time I have to take a child's dosage.

Anyway, one thing I enjoy is a tiny glass of Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry because it's one of the few alcohols whose taste I like.

I like the taste of Grasshoppers (mixed drink) but have to nurse one glass for a long time. Two glasses would knock me on my ass. Seldom have more than three alcoholic drinks per year.
