I don't put any stock in the descripions of a "normal" CH sufferer. I started CH in my late teens when I never had smoked or drank and the only ruff complexion I had was an occasional zit. As far as I can see, trying to relate CH to someones physical characteristics is a bunch of wahooey. Tell 'em to put that in their pipe and smoke it (maybe it'll give em CH)! As for now, I haven't had a drop of alcohol in over 8 years, I do smoke an occasional cigar, 6'4", 230 lbs., blue eyes (close), no orange peel complexion, but plenty of CH.
