Speaking of aversion, when I was in basic training, we had a few days off,
so I proceeded to the EM club with the intent to get drunk for the first
time in my life. I choose Boone's Farm Apple Wine. Well, I did indeed get
drunk! But, my big mistake was taking that first (and last) bite of pizza!
Everything came back up, and *I* was a stinking, drunken mess that had to
be "escorted" back to the barracks, only to find that my bunk would not
hold still! After that, although I still drank, I could never again stand
Boone's Farm Apple Wine, and even the small made me sick.
