Drinking (Alcohol)

[LadyDestani]

I don't drink and never will. Alcohol smells terrible to me and I don't think I would like the taste of any kind of alcoholic drink. I'm also not crazy about the idea of hangovers or the other consequences of drinking too much. I also stay away from it because I have an addictive personality and don't want to take my chances. There have been alcoholics in my family, so that kind of pushed me away from the stuff at an early age.

I don't judge anyone who drinks responsibly, though. Everyone has their vices and as long as you're not abusing it, I don't think alcohol is that bad.

Yeah sometimes, I don't try to make a habit of it though.

 

[Alienfish]

Yeah, I do. I fully understand people who don't do it because they had bad experiences or couldn't control it. As long people don't nag on others for doing it and thinking it's cool to not do it or be straight edge or that kinda stuff.

As long as people don't get the annoying kind of drunk/starts doing bad stuff etc. I don't really care.

I don't drink. I've tried it and taste gross. You'll find me drinking red wine but in very rare occasions.

I'm def of age to be drinking, I just can't because it doesn't mix well with my depression medication. I think I've had three drinks in my entire life. The first was some vodka and orange juice my ex boyfriend gave me (disgusting), the second was a wine cooler my cousin gave me one time when i was staying at her house in the middle of the summer and she lost electricity (actually pretty tasty), and the third was..... some kind of shot with root beer my dad made me last autumn when I stayed with him. I think he said it was supposed to taste like cinnamon toast crunch. As an avid cinnamon toast crunch eater, i can tell u for certain that it did not taste like cinnamon toast crunch. It tasted like Disgusting Cinnamon Root Beer(tm).

Anyway, I don't really feel like I'm missing out, much. Living with a severely alcoholic boyfriend for a while was enough to turn me off of it.

I'll have a drink occasionally, but for the most part it's not really my thing. I used to drink wine sometimes with a friend and we'd just hang out in my room and play games, so I can enjoy drinking in that kind of setting, but I'm not as into it if I'm alone or with big groups of people. I can't stomach very many kinds of drinks anyway unless it's something that doesn't even taste like it has alcohol in it.

i had a really bad drinking phase about three years ago because i started seeing this guy who was pretty much an alcoholic. the terrible things you do when you like someone lol.

but yeah we'd get plastered on hard liquor about 3-4x/week. i remember mixing whiskey with vodka, seeing doubles in my vision, waking up and not remembering how i even got to where i was, seeing i spent $80 at the bar the other night, being awfully promiscuous and risking my health

im so glad that phase is over. i dont drink at all anymore; the smell repulses me to even take a sip. do not recommend folks!!! alcohol is literal posion, do you liver a favor.

lol that reminds me of my early 20s. Hella trippy projector vision lol Yea I stopped to. Not worth wasting the liver.

I did have the opportunity to try a delightful brown sugar bourbon. Smells like a cinnamon roll. I do like a nice hard soda at the end of a work week. I might recommend a hard soda or Mai Tai to anyone that would want to try something new.

I went to vote in this poll for all the time, because I'm an avid drinker.... and already put my vote in it. i know myself too well

 

[Idfldnsndt]

I don’t drink and I don’t feel like this should be on the forums lol

I don't drink and I never will.
All of my friends do though so that's a bit hard for me... I just never go to their parties because I have a very hard time seeing people I love drinking. Seeing them drunk makes me extremely uncomfrotable and I just wish they'd stop it. Thankfully when we do sleep-overs they don't drink because we're only between ourselves.
I think alcohol tastes horrible, no matter which one. And needing it to have fun seems a bit sad, I guess. I know it can help some people to feel more at ease, but I don't think that's a solution.

I guess my hatred for alcohol comes from a past trauma were my perfectly clean ex drank in a party and french kissed random ppl, smoked and did all kinds of things like that. That traumatized me forever.
I'm happy that my mom doesn't drink (she only does in small amounts during big events) though. It would've been very hard for me if she did.

 

[Sweetley]

Never have and never will. I once taste a bit of alcohol and almost poked so gross was it for me. Just
the smell of it is sometimes already enough for me to feel sick.

 

[Soigne]

I don't really have the time to drink, but I'm sure I will every now and then in a few years.

been drunk nightly since turning 21 lol

 

[Bowie]

I drink every weekend. I live near Soho in London, so, every chance I get I just get completely wasted. One time I blacked out and woke up on a club stairway. I’ve never had a hangover, though, so I guess I’m just taking advantage of that.

I don't remember when I voted in this poll but I guess I never posted here. My answer is still "Not anymore". I've always been a lightweight (genetic thing) and never enjoyed getting drunk. I also started at an age before I was legal (rebellious stage lol) in hopes to fit in with my club-going friends at the time. I loved clubbing but I hated drinking so it was hard to hang out with my friends without falling into that peer pressure. I got burned out real quickly and when I actually was of age to drink, I just had no interest at all. My interests changed too and met my best friends who also do not like drinking, so it all worked out for me The last time I had a drink was last year around this time when I was in Tokyo for work. I got wasted and almost missed my check out time. Good reminder that alcohol and I don't mix... That said, I don't necessarily dislike the taste of alcohol. I like most beers. I just can't enjoy it because I get wasted too easily.

Dizzy sounds like a cheap date

I'm a one shot wonder.

 

[MarzipanDragyn]

Despite the fact that I'll be allowed to by the end of the month, I don't ever plan on trying alcohol. I don't feel like screwing up my health, and the smell of it alone gives me a headache.

There's nothing more ecstatic than having a glass or two of nicely brewed one as a good chaperone of your fabulous dinner.
But unfortunately I'm recommended to not drink anymore because it makes my Sleep Apnea Syndrome go worse. So for me, sadly "not anymore"..... Though I still crave those rapture, soooo very much!

Also it's sad to see not few people consider it a-no. I'm assuming nasty image of bad drinking (like addiction or cheap strong booze) must be affecting somewhat. Good drink and appropriate amount is good to help your blood circulation~ guys.
