Hi Anita,
I grew up with a close family member that had an alcohol addiction and at an early age I was always very responsible and had to take care of my big sister a lot. It made me realize at an older age that I want a partner that knows right from wrong and that I don’t have to worry about doing irresponsible things, if that makes sense? I think drinking and driving is irresponsible behavior and it doesn’t matter if it’s a small glass of beer or a light beer. I find it irresponsible to be in the skiing slopes after drinking alcohol, when there’s small children around and when it is also illegal to bring beer into the area. It just made me afraid for others safety too. I had a date last week that I just didn’t think was the best, we had little to talk about and I just felt like we weren’t a good match at all… whereas with the guy I am writing about, the conversations were good and there wasn’t any awkward silences I guess.
