Does anybody else here despise alcohol?

if somebody could make alky without the burn, I'd be first in line.

Isn't this thread for people who don't like alcohol, and aren't there other threads for people who do to discuss the various kinds and brands and flavours and effects?

It kind of weirds me out when the billing department where I work ask me to join them for "drinks" at a pub. They know I'm a teetotaller, and I'm not technically part of the billing department (though I know the insurance and coding intricacies since I studied them at school before getting the healthcare job). I think it might mean they actually like me. I suppose the alternative is that they know I won't drink, and might leave early, so they'll have my weird Aspie-ness to joke about later. I hope that's not it. Sometimes I think I see Aspie traits in the Billing Supervisor herself, and maybe in her second as well.

No I actually like beer quite a bit, but good quality beer it tastes delicious...and I like the occasional hard alcohol. I have overdone it with drinking before, which can be embarrassing sucks, but in moderation I do enjoy it at times. I used to drink a lot more though like on a regular basis a few times off and on over the years, now I don't really do that a whole lot...I prefer smoking cannabis to be honest, and it doesn't run the risk of hang overs, liver damage or acting stupid/doing something stupid/and blacking out and not remembering what stupid things you did. There are much better 'substances' than alcohol in my opinion, I do have some regrets with times I have been drinking too much, in attempts to feel better/self medicate or just drinking too much out of being self destructive and not caring, time could have been better spent perhaps, but such is life.

I don't really care if other people like alcohol or not, to each their own....I wouldn't try to convince someone who does not want to drink to do so.

the only alcohol i can stand to drink straight is rompope, because it has little alcohol volume (10%) and its flavor is hidden behind all the dream.
all others i despise.

I've never had an alcoholic beverage in my life because I'm in a medication regimen that prevents me for drinking one. The one thing I don't understand about alcohol is that people get drunk with it just for fun. People tend to say and do terrible, stupid things when they're drunk, but not when they're sober.

The biggest reason they should legalize Pot, is so people can have other legal options.

As for me I do drink now and then, but I found that just having "1" beer and a couple tokes off the pipe and I have a fairly nice buzz without over doing either drug. in either case if I ever drink anything, no matter how little, I do it at home when I plan on going no-where. although I have had gotten a nice pot buzz and went places, but never out right stoned stoned. mostly because having to socialize sets off my anxieties really bad and its easier for me to deal with others when I take the edge off. and no I do not make a habit of catching a pot buzz then driving, I try and stay home for that too.

Just to note, I seen people whom only have a couple tokes, or just one beer, act like it hits them as if they drank 3-4 beers or smoked an whole bowl of weed in just one toke. everyone is made different and there are a lot of lightweights out there.
