Just recently it was my cousins wedding. One of my uncle came back and he’ll acted all weird and stuff because you know how people act when their drunk. He’ll tell us that he represent us, that he stood against 10 people in drinking and still standing. My thoughts was that he is tough and super drunk. Alcohol or beer is one thing that people like to drink. For our family we only use beer for ceremonies or sometimes once in a while one or couple of my family will drink beer just for the heck of it. They say it’s always good to have cold beer on a hot sunny day. Thats what they like. For me, I think beer is good for sometimes.

He would sometimes offer us a sip or two, not to get us addicted, but to see the silly expressions we made in response to the bitterness of Budweiser. My older brother, being the daring one, would usually take in half a can of beer before pulling away. My older sisters, however, took a sip and pulled away as quickly as the bitterness swam across their taste buds. I, on the other hand, took in a whole mouthful before giving in and declaring my brother the winner.

As we grew up the memory of the bitterness of the can of beer taught me to stay away from alcohol.
