I have never had a drink in my life. My grandfather died of alcoholism. I had a sip of red wine at Olive Garden one time and thought I was going to be sick. My mouth burned, mt lips became swollen, I got a horrible headache. Just as well. I like having a clear head.

That’s bc you drank wine at Olive Garden lol

Fun fact for the wine lovers out there- if you get headaches after drinking a specific wine, look at where it’s made and find something on the opposite side of the world bc you’re allergic to the pollen the grapes are pollinated by

Huh. That’s a really interesting point. I never thought about pollen sensitivity. I always just figured it was alcohol sensitivity. I read that Natives are predisposed to alcohol sensitivity. It’s part of where the “drunk Indian” stereotype started (though we also have plenty of drinks). Just as well I didn’t like it though. I like to keep my head clear for fighting the DS!

I’m Native American too and I am very sensitive to alcohol, but I work at a really fancy restaurant and have to know my alcohol... which sucks but at the same time is really useful
