      I thought about wine tasters but then I thought “don’t they usually spit it out?” But yeah. Also probably food critics.

        Some alcohol still absorbs through the skin inside your mouth, tasting and spitting 50 wines at a quick pace through a day can get someone tipsy. Judging wines properly can also involve swallowing a tiny amount to feel the characteristics of it on the way down the throat.

    Uh, wine tasters?

    And, de facto also people whose job is to strike deals for a company. And ambassadors, I’d say.

      I know a couple deal maker type people who are teetotal. I suspect it’s common in some cultural groups. They just drink nonalcoholic beverages. Some people handle it well, some people don’t.
