[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say the same thing, OP. To my ears, it means: "I can't handle alcohol but don't want to say that out loud in a nation of drinkers and in a culture where drinking makes the man". I lack much of the enzyme necessary to metabolize alcohol, so I can sip a half-glass of wine and that's my limit, otherwise I get sleepy and don't feel well. My teens are the same. They have tasted alcohol at home, just to recognize the taste in case they are ever in a situation where they are given some without their knowledge. So this seems like a perfectly normal thing to say, and nothing nefarious. Proximity to his teen while saying it is unimportant. His teen knows better than you what his alcohol tolerance is. [/quote] Can’t handle? How about doesn’t enjoy, finds no real pleasure in drinking, cost exceeds the reward, not my timing? Not being able to handle has nothing to do for me. [/quote]
