I enjoy a drink every now and then, but I'm only motivated to drink or get drunk if I'm in a social setting with good friends. Since there's been little of that in the past year, I haven't had alcohol in a long time and I'm fine without it.
Now THAT'S an acquired taste, even for an Islay whisky the iodine is more noticeable in that one. I'm told that it has to do with the peat used to dry the barley and distil the wort being decaying seaweed. I prefer Glenfiddich. Highlands peat doesn't have that acrid tang.
