You're not the Lone Ranger, Scott.

I greatly dislike the taste & affect of ANY alcoholic beverage with my food.
It numbs my tongue & ruins the flavor of the food.

This is contrary to what it's supposed to do, however there is sure to be a
few of us out there who just don't fit in with the wine & beer with food
crowd.

Don't worry... Water & Coke are just fine.
