Well there's yer problem!
She probably had it drilled into her from an early age that alcohol is from the devil and it will make you go to hell. I'm not sure when she turned away from that path, but she may have spent most of her formative years in bible study and never developed a taste for it.
Is it cold in here?:
Might also be a health thing, part of the same pattern as her gym membership.

Kinda funny story. There's an organisation here called the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association, a teetotaler group, who could be described as slightly less uppity than prohibition groups. Anyway, they go around to schools and go to the classes, usually the 15 year olds and during the religion classes, and they ask the students to take a form and to read it, asking the students to abstain from alcohol until they're 18.
Well, they came to our class, told us about the Pledge, give us the forms and left. As soon as the door closed, the teacher turned towards us and just said "None of you are going to take that pledge, are you?"
All twenty nine of us just looked at him like he asked the most obvious question ever, and nearly deafened him with the "NO!"
Border Reiver:
Besides, I don't seem to remember either the Old or the New Testament come out and say, "Don't Drink", There are a lot of stories that many of us would start off with "I was soooo wasted last night that I...." in that book.
Penny's fun when she's loaded - hope she got home safe to Bartender Wil next day.
And it's only WWII to you late to the party Americans. The rest of the West has been in it since last Thursday, and the Chinese have been there since the Thursday before that.
Carl-E:
With red wine, the hangover may put her right back off the stuff. That, and she seemed to be more frustrated at her lack of control (and spelling) than any fun she may have been having.
Of course, none of this may ever make it into the comic, either, becoming a noodle incident for us here on the boards.
