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 wouldn't get too hung up on those women who outright rejected you for it. Apparently they can't read and on top of that are suggesting you get endanger yourself by drinking because of your medications. They don't exactly sound like people you need in your life. I think a lot of drinkers just always want to feel as if everyone is on the same vibe as they are and they can't handle someone having a good time without alcohol for some reason. I often think, why should it matter to you whether I drink or not because its not like they can experience my mood or my joy or my thoughts for me.
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!
hahahahaha no not at all. I mean to some extent, I guess I would never date you- but it is a tough one as it is a deal breaker, but it is not like drinking is a huge part of my life- I am not some clubber or hanging out at bars all the time. I just love the nights of sharing wine or a drink with my SOs...
I really don't drink much at all 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.
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
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!
I wouldn't mind if a guy didn't drink because I don't drink alcohol
sure , i will try to convince (little effort) her to try for a bit , if she resist , i promise will not try again ; p
Yes I would but it wouldn't be that fun during some nights.
I would, definitely. I would even date someone who doesn't eat meat.
I would actually prefer that. I don't plan on ever drinking either.
I barely ever drink if ever, so I know I wouldn't really care. Alcohol is essentially just neurotoxic poison.
Yeah sure I don't care if someone drinks or not as long as they don't judge me or treat me like shit when drinking.
I think a lot of people assume that about non-drinkers, that we're just snatching your bottles away and giving you lectures about living with a clear mind. I could care less what others do or don't drink as long as they aren't driving me whilst drunk. I just don't often think the same vibe goes the other way which is often why I typically make some lame excuse as to why I'm not drinking rather then have 'that' conversation over again.
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.
Currently am dating someone who doesn't drink, and im glad he doesn't drink haha :)
Nope i would not drink a guy who doesn't drink. Alcohol is good, especially drunk sex😍😍
yeah, sure, but your friends aren't in the bed with you to "protect" you.. but again, your life, so whatever. As far as the second part, drinking people tend to believe non drinking people just sit at home watching netflix, and some do, just as some drinking people do too, but I go to bars and clubs with friends. The only difference is, I don't drink and they do. Drinking doesn't not automatically equal a fun person who is popular, happier, or more sociable. Drinking, just means, you drink. There's nothing wrong with either side of the coin unless you become an alcoholic or engage in risky behavior that's a detriment to yourself or others.
I prefer someone who doesn't drink. I get tired of the drama.
That would honestly be ideal for me.
Date me. 😍
I am exactly in the same boat.
Seriously not important whatsoever.
sure so long as he's okay with me drinking
Why wouldn't they it's a good quality
Sure. It would be great always having a driver.
I welcome a non drinker
I prefer that they don't.
