Well, the alternative is living with your boss, like you seem to be doing.

This is a complete change of subject, but do any of you have a sober husband or wife while the other isn't? My wife drank as a person in high school, but some time in her college years decided she didn't like the taste anymore, and quit everything. I've tried giving her random things, and she never wants any of it. She'll take a sip here or there, and just say "eww, I taste the alcohol".
This isn't really a problem at all, but I'm aware of it. It does make me always want to find something that she can drink, though. I finally found a wine that she doesn't mind, but it has to be heated up. Sand Castle Winery's "Alpine". It has a really strong cinnamon smell and sweet flavor. In our entire time being married, it's the first alcoholic drink I've seen her actually try on her own.

I get annoyed at my wife because she is a boring drinker. Regular boring beer, white wine, lately she has been into fruity Mango-Ritas or whatever they are called that Budweiser makes. Meanwhile I am becoming a total cocktail and craft beer hipster and that scene is exploding in Chicago (and everywhere else, obviously, but cocktails especially here) and she doesn't even want to try anything else.

So you hit the bar and get her a $2 happy hour miller lite and yourself an $8Quad | Une Année | Chicago, IL | BeerAdvocateor something. Sounds like a winning deal to me!

My wife never drinks, occasionally 1 or 2 bud lights (lol). I usually don't drink either, but I know when I get absolutely shitfaced she'll be there to drive me home and leave me on the bathroom floor.

Same here. I don't drink though I used to have a glass of scotch and a cigar with my roommate once a week before we got married. Outside of that atmosphere alcohol in any form just turns me off. My wife will have a mojito now and again when she goes out with friends and I'm completely cool with it... Just on a personal level I don't like it.

Yes Tuco, he's a recovering alcoholic who "hasneverhad a drink".
As for the alcohol, I like to drink, and it's good social lubrication while dating, but I just can't drink much anymore. I get the worst goddamn hangovers on earth. The next day always feels like it might be my last day on earth.

Sorry, I wasn't sure if 'never had a drank' meant 'neverhad a drink', 'never had a drink around me' or 'is a recovering alcoholic who doesn't drink'.
