    I sent the following to CONLANG@LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU and it bounced with
a "User unknown" error.  However, I've seen posts to the list since then, so
I'm going to try again.

    OK:
Smoke: Nothing.  Not in many years.
Drink: I had my last alcoholic drink in 1979.  I detest the taste of
coffee.  OTOH, I drink large amounts of tea, straight, usually some form
of Chinese black tea.

ObConlang: in Gladilatian someone who drinks alcohol is "mzazmevreu
vmet", from:

mza       directed to
zmevre    psychoactive
u         (nominalizer)
vmet      drinker
