wrong choice?

[curious]

Could our lack of experience with any type of alcohol be part of the problem?
Both my hubby and are are in our 40's, I am 47, he is 49.

Both of us have hardly ever drank anything with alcohol, my hubby drank some beer while in his early 20's, and I had a glass of wine when I was in my early 20's, offered by a relative who had wine often in their home.

The wine was a white and had a sweet, fruity aftertaste, so I have a postive image of wine.

I did, for a spell "rebel" as all kids do, and went bar hopping with my friends, hey, I'm a baby boomer, grew up during the hippie era.
I drank only mixed drinks, and never really got into that.
After that, neither of us have had any type of alcoholic drink, we drink water, ice tea, and sometimes pop (Coke or Pepsi).

Now, my hubby and I want to relax, be a bit more "civilized", [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] , and enjoy our life, kids are grown, and our views have changed.
We are a bit more open-minded.
A glass of wine with dinner, or while sitting and relaxing, actually talking with each other seems postive, not sinful.
Hey, we are Appalachian hillbillies, what can I say. People here drink pop, beer, or whisky (and some still drink moonshine).
