[silly] Eliza Dushku

[wisdomeagle]

Things I didn't know: Eliza Dushku doesn't drink.

This is neat, because I have automatic kinship and respect for those who, like me, abstain, but it is unneat, because ONE HUNDRED PERCENT LESS drunken RPF is now canonical. :(

Hey, speaking of RPF, has everyone signed up fr prettylightsfic? Shiny shiny actorfic!

Since when, I wonder, because there are hilarious drunken/hungover Eliza anecdotes on the Bring it On commentary...

[wisdomeagle]

According to the linked article, since she was 19.

I love how at this point it's just "...yeah, NO ONE waits until they turn 21 to start drinking, we've accepted it, move on."

Also, I'd sign up, but there's no specific for well-bred actor siblings who like to do it ;)

*no specific fandom.

If I may ask you a personal question:

what are your reasons for abstaining from alcohol?

[wisdomeagle]

As I recently said elsewhere: My mother is an alcoholic, my father is a teetotaler, alcoholism runs on both sides of my family, and I don't fancy those odds.

Because I didn't have any models of healthy alcohol consumption growing up (and because of aforementioned family history), I feel the safest way (for me) is to abstain entirely.

[lunabee34]

That makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

[wisdomeagle]

No problem. :)

It's considered deviant in US society to abstain totally from alcohol. It's seen as bizarre. I also don't drink, and there's a lot of pressure to do it. I thought it was interesting that people found it bizarre that Eliza would play a bartender when she doesn't drink -- as if they only hire actors who are also assassins on their off time to play violent criminals? XD I think it's really cool that she doesn't drink. :O

LOL SO TRUE ABOUT THE RPF.

Dude. I totally respect that. Wow!
