Class will be fun tonight. I can't miss Melbourne Cup because I am from Melbourne originally and it fouls up my whole year when I can't get silly over a horse race on the first Tuesday in November. I may not be able to refuse alcohol because it would be *so* rude not to drink. Watch this space to find out how teaching goes.....

To tell the truth, I don't drink much because alcohol doesn't affect me much. Sugar does; alcohol doesn't. Which is just terribly sad.

So many people don't believe me. Every now and again friends feel they have to give me drinks to check it out. Last Monday, for instance, I drank two Toblerones and just barely reached the point where I felt relaxed and happy. I ask my friends "Why bother?" and mostly they mutter direly about using me as a scientific experiment on the affects of alcohol on people with no brain. Then they discover I told the truth and I get to go "nya nya".

And this is the real reason I get Rutherglen fortifieds - if you don't get drunk easily and you want an occasional drink and it is going to mess with your insulin levels, then that occasional drink had better be *special*.
