Would you date someone who doesn't drink?

Question

I've never had an alcoholic drink in my life and don't intend to. I don't bring this up, I don't make judgements about others who drink, its just my personal preference and the only way others know is if I'm asked directly. Do you think its off putting to date someone who doesn't drink? Is that a total turn off or you think its whatevers.

I personally don't care. but a lot of women seem to. When I was dating online and met women for "drinks", I rarely drink. I just get pop. usually diet coke. I actually had a couple say they don't want to date someone that doesn't drink. They never said anything or asked me about it. I even put right in my profile that I drink occasionally. but I am on heavy mediation for back pain. It doesn't mix well with alcohol. So if I have to drive, I don't want to be drinking. I figure if alcohol means that much to them then best I am not with them.

I had a really cute friend who was sort of in to me and I could have made it work- but she doesn't drink and I never pursued her.. I think that is great, and good for you. While I am no big drinker, I do enjoy nice liqueurs, wine and the occasional wine. I like when me and my SO can go buy a bottle of wine, or a nice bottle of whiskey and look forward to that with/ after dinner.

I think you'll be fine though!

I would prefer it as I've never drank alcohol and I don't plan on it when I'm of age but I do realize some people enjoy it. I guess as long as he isn't drunk it's fine. I can do moderately tipsy but drunk is a no no for me! He would also have to be of legal age to drink because I don't support underage drinking.

I wouldn't care if they drank or not unless they drank too much, or were rude about people that did drink. I drink on occasion. It's not necessary tho. Like I can go out and not drink and still have fun.

Prettygurl12 · Accepted Answer

I drink in moderation. And by that I mean almost never. If given the choice between alcohol and water I'll go for the water. It's not an issue

ElissaDido · Answer

It would be perfect if he doesn't drink

dangerDoge · Answer

Personally, I would kind of prefer that since I don't drink myself and never have found the appeal in it. I don't care if people drink, but I just don't want to do it myself. Heck, I'll hang out with people and be the designated driver instead haha.

The problem is that a lot of the people looking for relationships around my age at my university seem to be big drinkers/smokers and want someone who does the same :/ But ehh, it is what it is.

meatballs21 · Answer

Awesome! You can be the designated driver!

More seriously, though. It's not a dealbreaker, but it can be a little awkward having to constantly explain yourself as someone who doesn't drink (I didn't until I was 21).

MissNowhere · Answer

I sure would, I may even slightly prefer to date someone who doesn't drink since then there'd be less pressure for me to drink as well and I'm not too big of a fan of alcohol.

GingerBear · Answer

I'd be fine with it, as long as I was able to drink when I wanted. To be honest, I'd like dating a non-drinker, I'd never have to be the designated driver!

Nik1hil · Answer

I don't drink,

aficionado · Answer

Considering that I don't drink as well, I wouldn't mind dating a non-drinker. I don't really have a preference regarding her drinking habits, as long as she isn't addicted to alcohol.

Mesonfielde · Answer

I barely ever drink if ever, so I know I wouldn't really care. Alcohol is essentially just neurotoxic poison.

TripleAce · Answer

Done it been there  I prefer the edgyness that comes with a girl willing to indulge when the time is right... at the very least id want her to understand what being impaired means

nativepride73 · Answer

It doesn't bother me at all that you wouldn't drink. Your probably smart for avoiding it. Its expensive and can get addicting. I would know lol. But, would you have a problem dating a drinker?

madhatters4 · Answer

as long as they weren't judgmental of me or people around me for drinking I would be fine with it... it means you always have a DD

JuicyBrain · Answer

I don't care, but you better know how to drive though ! Cause you are going to drive my ass back home lol

falafelany1 · Answer

I don't drink so I would be totally fine with it. It's better than having to take care of your drink SO.

DodgersGM · Answer

It sounds great to me, actually. I can't really drink due to a medical condition, so I'd be JELLY all the time if she was a beer drinker. LOL

Kris85 · Answer

No I wouldn't date anyone that doesn't drink. I enjoy my bevvies and would like to be able to enjoy them with my man.

kellytheman · Answer

I don't drink either except on special occasions like birthdays or holidays. But it kinda makes me more intrigued to date u because I always wanted to date the designated driver because I am the desginated driver too lol.

soccerchick4eva · Answer

Currently am dating someone who doesn't drink, and im glad he doesn't drink haha :)

rjroy3 · Answer

As long as I'm not given trouble about my drinking or being asked to stop, then I'm fine with it. It's a non issue.

blue_sun · Answer

I would totally date someone who wouldn't drink. I don't really intend to be a heavy drinker when I become of age, and I wouldn't really like to have to take care of a drunk person all the time.

Marttinez · Answer

It's not a turn off, there are more important things to worry about when it comes to dating.

Dtegesd123 · Answer

Alcohol isn't the best tasting thing in the world so no I wouldn't care if my girlfriend didn't drink.
