This is what everyone who intends to make a thing wants. This is also a guarantee that does not, cannot exist. You can take two approaches, here: write explicitly for others or write explicitly for yourself. If you take the former approach and guess wrong or misread your potential audience you end up with a bunch of words nobody wants to read including yourself. If you take the latter approach, even if nobody else wants to read it, at least you got something out of writing it. Besides, I'm not certain either approach is any more of a recipe for success than the other.
Central NC is a mixed bag right now. We just got a bit more rain than usual where I live, but there's apparently fairly significant flooding like 30 miles south of me. What's weird is that our power didn't even go out except for 30 seconds of flickering yesterday morning, and normally we lose power for three hours if a slightly disgruntled looking cloud so much as passes by our house.
Maybe someone can explain this to me. Almost nothing makes me drunk. I can drink many shots of whiskey/voda, wine, beer etc, yet when I drink the cheapest bargain brand wine I get incredibly drunk after just 1 glass.

This defies all logic. Alcohol is alcohol my man, I think you are mistaken. Maybe someone dropped some grain alcohol in your cheap bargain wine.
Better question is why do you want to get drunk? Or drink cheap bargain brand wine?

It could be there is something else in the wine which you're reacting with. For example there is something in most vodkas I've tried which gives me a terrible headache, even if I only take a few sips. I just avoid vodka as a result.

Agreed. Different wines will give my wife and I headaches, and my wife has a powerful allergic reaction to Sweetwater beer. Accordingly, I suspect that he is reacting to something in the alcohol other than the alcohol itself.
