Would you date someone who doesn't drink alcohol?

[meenarai]

I don't like alcohol. I don't drink and never will.

Yes

No

[PinkChampagne]

I don't like alcohol too and I don't drink and never did and my boyfriend too and I'm proud of ourselves... Drinking is not something people should be proud of doing, but proud of not doing... So... Congratulations for you too that you don't drink 😊

[anuragk033]

And I'm proud of you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[stargoddes1]

Yes because Me too I dont drink

[BeMuse]

I don’t care. I never felt that I needed other people to drink with me. So long as they aren’t trying to stop me from drinking or giving me shit when I do I don’t mind if they don’t drink.

[SkipStop]

I don't consume alcohol either.
Perfect match.

[SueShe]

As a matter of fact, I would only date those that don't drink.

I am not talking about social drinking, like a glass of wine once in a while when going out for dinner but those that need alcohol to think they are cool when all they do is make fools out of themselves when they cannot control themselves anymore.

They lose their dignity and I like people that keep their head on their shoulders and are capable of having a conversation without been uninhibited by alcohol.

If they need that kind of incentive to talk or think they are interesting, what other methods will they use in real situations of life?

[OlderAndWiser]

I was married to someone who had been active in AA for at least 15 years and had been sober that entire time. We were together for about 4 years altogether. She never drank one drop of alcohol the entire time and neither did I; I'm not an alcoholic but I abstained because I wanted to support her. Alcohol can be fun - in moderation - but it is NEVER necessary!

[Logorithim]

I rarely drink myself, so that wouldn't be a problem.

[btbc92]

The same with me. I don't drink, and would not be happy with a person who does.

[Iwant2kno]

I’ll prefer to date someone who doesn’t drink alcohol. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Cynicaldreamer]

Considering I've never had a drink before (or smoked), nor do I like drinkers- absolutely! Heck, I would love to date a guy that's not a drinker and knows how to have fun without having to get drunk~

[dontknow12]

Never had alcohol at your age? Not saying it's bad. Just don't think I've ever seen it.

[ManOnFire]

Definitely. I think one of my old flames didn't drink. Doesn't bother me.

[GoodManDave]

I don’t drink much. I’m a lightweight; simply put, I usually hate the taste.

I know a lot of heavy drinkers, and for some reason, they have a huge issue with me not drinking... I don’t get why anyone would care, as long as you’re not being an idiot.

I’m not your papa. As long as you’re not buzzed (or drunk) it’s not an issue for me. If you’re not driving home drunk, I don’t really care.

A woman who HAD to have her liquor and couldn’t stop if she got pregnant... no. If she made such an issue of me NOT drinking, it kind of shows a weird dynamic in thinking (probably wouldn’t last long if she was trying to get me to drink all the time and never left me alone about it). But if she wants the occasional drink and keeps her wits about her, I’m ok with someone who drinks responsibly and knows her limit. But if I’m constantly driving her home because she had too much every weekend (or every other weekend), that’s not something I want to deal with.

[Uru_DS]

I'm so damn surprised with the amount of people saying they would. I hate the taste of alcohol and here I was thinking it's some sort of a dealbreaker.
Like shouldn't people be saying drinking is fun and those who don't drink aren't any fun? This is not my opinion and I don't think it's true but it's what every person who drinks has ever told me.

[meenarai]

well obviously they're drinkers and they're just defending their bad habits.

[Uru_DS]

Not sure if it's bad if you can control it or limit the amount you intake. Unfortunately people who drink a lot lack self control.

[Uru_DS]

But yeah it perfectly fits as a defense mechanism. Thank you.

[Isten]

I could, but seeing as I'm more of a social drinker and like going to parties and have a few beers, it's unlikely that our personalities will mesh. People who don't drink generally avoid parties like the plague too. But if he likes going out, I have no objection.

[Anonymous]

Yes, and anyone who thinks someone who doesn't drink alcohol is boring is an idiot. "You don't do "x" activity. Which is just one minor activity out of millions of possible activities, but because you don't do this one activity you're automatically boring."

Talk about narrow minded.

I don't drink at home but if a friend wanted to go out for some drinks and we were just chillin in the bar with nothing but drinks. . . Then I'll have a couple glasses of crown and coke or jack and coke.

[dtweed96]

Yes I would I don't drink either accept on like special occasions while I typically drink water either because I am a work out nut or my seasonal jobs advice that employees should drink water has come to me either way as long as my date can be mellow either way I don't think it matters not unless it caused a climax to their health

[datgirl]

Alcohol is so bad for you thats why i rarely drink it. I only drink it when I'm out with friends. So, i wouldn't mind dating a guy who doesn't drink alcohol. But if he had a prob with me drinking it the rare times i do then i think I'd be a little annoyed.

[GingerBearlet]

I mean, I said no, because I genuinely enjoy alcohol. I don't get drunk frequently, or even tipsy, but I do like a drink.
However, whether I would date someone who doesn't drink, depends on WHY they don't drink. If it's for moral/religious reasons, then no. Our priorities do not align. (I also wouldn't date someone who is religious, but that's a different issue.)
But, if they just didn't like alcohol much so didn't drink much, if at all, then probably yes, that would be fine.

[Jacksoscar]

Yes I very rarely drink myself. A crown and coke on my birthday, a beer on the 4th of July, and a glass of wine for new years and that's about it. I can really think of better things to spend money on. For what a lot of couples spend at the bar in a night they could probably go out for a nice date night dinner! With none of the drama and later regrets alcohol causes.

[BlackRoseFairy]

I don't drink that much myself. Maybe an occasional glass of wine once in a while, hard drinks even rarer than that. so it wouldn't be a problem, as long as he's not giving me an earful when I decide to have a drink.

[Miss_Savanna_Dry]

Nope. We would never work then. Since I do I can't imagine someone that doesn't drink at all and never will, would be completely okay with me drinking. Therefore won't work. Some men that don't drink are okay, they don't mind if other people do. But a lot of men that don't drink tend to think it's a turn off if a girl drinks and tend to create this perception that if a girl drinks = shitty person/not girlfriend material.

[Moonchild714]

Well I'm an Alcoholic over 2 years in Remission. I don't say Recovery I say Remission because it's a disease that keeps fighting to take over my mind, body, & spirit. I pretty much only date other Sober Individuals. Still haven't met many that are true Social Drinkers. Muslims are the only guys outside of AA that I've dated who don't drink.

[dressed2kell]

If you said no, them, uh, erm… well? I mean, why not post "would you date somebody that doesn't drink orange juice?" If it's that important to you… well… hate to be the bearer of bad news, but… um…

[Factshurt90]

I drink occasionally. I also like to let lose. So.. being around someone who doesn’t drink at all kinda makes me feel out of place. I doubt I’d date them.
