Do you drink?
Far more than is good for me, I'm sure. I like a tasty beer after ceramic class.
Do you smoke?
I tried once with my mom. My stepdad smokes on occasion, so we tried one cigarette between the two of us. That was so strange! My mouth felt and tasted like ash, and it was not pleasant. We both had this yuck reaction and did not finish it. I had three puffs I think, I was done after that! We bonded afterwards by brushing our teeth. My mouth felt so dirty! So no, I do not smoke. I don't like smoking culture much either, but to each their own.
