Do you not drink alcohol?

I tried it once. Taste like s**t

I hate the taste of most alcohols, but I get myself drunk or tipsy at every social event I go to that provides it coz it makes me feel less stressed out when I'm in such an environment.

I think I have to cut back on my drinking though. I mean, I don't enjoy going to parties at all if I'm sober, and I suspect the binge drinking is causing a bit of erectile dysfunction not to mention liver damage, so why should I make myself suffer?

u shouldn't make yourself suffer.


I don't drink because i don't like the taste.

I gave it up about 20 years ago, because I really don't like it. I only ever drank so I could be "one of the guys." After years of that, I got disgusted with the kind of guys of which I was trying to be one, and came to the realization that it was stupid of me to aspire to that. But I especially hate the buzz, and it always ends up making me vomit. There isn't much I hate worse in the world than vomiting. No drinking = no vomiting. So there's that, and the fact that alcoholism runs in my family, and I won't allow it to continue through me.

Developing an appreciation for single malt scotch whiskies is one of the better things about life.

I think as a teen I liked alcohol because it made me feel how everyone else looked to feel... (Comfortable with myself).

Saturdays when I was 16 to 17 years old. 17 to 19 years old I drank during Weekends nights. Then I drank every night between 20 and 21 and as water untill I was 22,
From age 22 to Eternal, not even one beer with any lasting pleasure. Just one beer usually leaves me with a splitting headache later on that night.
I had three beers in a night, two or three times in this last decade but it leaves me bedridden for a day and very ill the day after that every time. Hangovers from hell from drinking to a little tipsy feeling.


A Bit dealing with How I changed under the influence of alcohol:

[b]one thing that apparently impressed quite a few people.
( I ran at a friends moving car, rolled over the hood and landed with my arm resting in the drivers window sill ready to talk.
The next night when we arrived the people at the front rolled out the red carpet, talking about it and the first round on the house... No sh#t.)[/b]

One thing that apparently did not impress
(Saying offensive things candidly about people playing pool at a table adjacent to us until my friends were angry with me. It wasn't bothering me a bit when the players from the other table had come over a couple times telling my friends that they did'nt wan't to fight. This happened the very next night at the same bar as the pre. U-TUBE car roll.)

One reason I stopped Drinking Cold at 22.

[i](Alcohol was killing my body. Dying Action. So a choice needed to be made.)

Now I drink too much coffee. I guess its my own AA, ah, it works for everything but anxiety.

bit of a catch 22 but Coffee tastes so good ill live on edge.

Stress saves lives right?

Nope. I don't like the taste at all, and I've seen it destroy a few of my relatives. So, no thank you.

I do not not drink alcohol.



As a matter of fact, I'm not not drinking my third beer this morning.

I drink sociably - I used to hate the taste, but I found it grew on me.

What started as drinking small amounts to alleviate social anxiety gradually transformed into drinking small to median amounts for pleasure. And occasionally losing track of how much I've had and drinking to make an ass of myself, apparently.

Probably what I appreciate most is also the most elusive part - getting sufficiently inebriated to be able to enjoy dancing, but not so drunk that I am properly drunk. The line, it is narrow and treacherous, and very rarely obtainable...

I don't drink any more due to the fact that alcohol usage is very problematic for me. --I haven't touched the stuff for about 18 years, and can't say that I miss the experience in the least.

i don't drink i hate alcohol
except good old wine which i seldom may drink

I'm an executive member of the Boozy Mommas Club; when the kids go to bed out comes a nice chardonnay! Keeps me from going entirely insane.

i drink moderately on a semi-regular basis, i may actually go weeks without a drink... sometimes months.

summer is usually an exception to the rule; my drinking does not exceed being moderate, the frequency of occurence increases.

I drink. Rather too much, as it happens. Half a bottle of Laphroaig and three bottles of strong bitter tonight.

I have alcohol on very rare occasions. It is not something I ever seek out. I dislike the taste and have no interest in the effects drinking more than one or two would have on me. I have probably had 3-5 drinks in the past 10 years, mainly when at a social gathering that had nothing non-alcoholic to drink.

I have zero alcohol intake. Haven't really drunk alcohol since I was about 20 to be honest. I go for years at a time, literaaly and I don't know that I'll ever intake it again
