Would you date someone who doesn't drink alcohol?

Question

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

PinkChampagne · Accepted Answer

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 😊

stargoddes1 · Accepted Answer

Yes because Me too I dont drink

BeMuse · Accepted Answer

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 · Accepted Answer

I don't consume alcohol either.  Perfect match.

HawkPerception · Answer

Truthfully, not likely. We're all attracted to people who like to get in similar mental states to share the same kinds of experiences. That's why people who smoke weed tend to want partners who like doing the same... because they want someone they can do it with and won't judge them. It goes the same for anyone.

I'm a social drinker. I drink maybe once a month on average, and when I do, I don't really limit myself to a specific number of drinks. I just know my limit and when to slow it down so as not to go overboard. I'd appreciate having someone to drink with and let loose in the same way. I honestly find people who don't drink a bit uptight for my taste.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

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 · Answer

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

Iwant2kno · Answer

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

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

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~

ManOnFire · Answer

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

SueShe · Answer

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?

Uru_DS · Answer

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.

GoodManDave · Answer

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.

GingerBearlet · Answer

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.

btbc92 · Answer

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

Miss_Savanna_Dry · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

Isten · Answer

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.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Absolutely!! I'd prefer it!! I don't drink, either. I've tried a few things (beer, champagne, Schnapps, vodka) and, except for the Schnapps, didn't like any of them. After having done a few shots of Schnapps, I noticed my memory wasn't as good as it had been up to that point so, I stopped.
Finding a really nice girl that doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs is pretty hard!!

LucyArmstrong25 · Answer

Since I don't drink alcohol publicly. I'm really ok with that. I only drink wine while I'm at home reading a book in my bath. I don't like beer or any hard alcohol. I also don't mind if I never drank any alcohol again.

cavmanier · Answer

I don't drink either. That's a good things. Alcohol is pretty terrible for yourself and makes people fat.

Anonymous · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I don't drink either, never have done and don't plan on doing so either, so would actually prefer to date someone who doesn't drink.

Jacksoscar · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

ChloeStarfire · Answer

Absolutely since I can no longer date guys who drink alcohol

JDavid25 · Answer

Well, I don't drink so it would be a contradiction if I didn't.. Lol..

Lauren-green · Answer

I don't see why someone wouldn't, it's actually good for health not too drink. And sometimes a partner can drink a bit too much too often and that's really hard to handle

Izumiblu · Answer

I rarely drink. Maybe once a year. My guy drinks , it’s not a big deal for either of us.  I end up being the designated driver and French enough so it works out.

Inexpensivefurniture · Answer

I would prefer it. I can't drink for medical reasons so I feel a bit awkward or left out when everyone else is drinking. It would be nice to have a partner who also didn't drink.

brebre234 · Answer

I only drink wine and maybe a cock tail on occasions but if a person doesn't drink alcohol I would still date them. At least I don't have to worry about them being drunk on me lol

SexyAshh · Answer

Factshurt90 · Answer

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.

Royalsarcasist · Answer

I wouldn’t mind it, however I’d kinda prefer if my SO drank because it’s something we could both do together. Plus there would be no judgement for when I do it

EpicDweeb · Answer

Sure, I don't enjoy the taste of alcohol so if someone else doesn't like the taste of alcohol, then for me to say "I'm not gonna date you because you do what I do" would be hypocritical and stupid.

Katebfun · Answer

Yes! I'm actually wanting to meet another that's quit drinking because I'm in the process if quitting myself. Its poison and does not serve my high self.

I don’t drink alcohol and guys always say it’s a good thing. I don't know why you are making it look like it’s bad? I have a boyfriend, and I had many before also.

normalice · Answer

I don't drink because I get about a 10 minute buzz, then go straight to hangover. I don't care whether or not others do, tho..

SophieLaGirafe · Answer

As long as you still went to bars and clubs for the experience I don't care. I don't drink sometimes or I'll only have 1.

someginger · Answer

I wouldn't mind but I spend a lot of my time at the pub and being a piss head so could cause some problems

Sonorous · Answer

In a heartbeat! I probably won't drink alcohol even when I'm old enough. The cons outweigh the pros. I want to remain healthy as long as I can.

hhues · Answer

I drink socially and I would feel awkward dating someone who doesn't also drink socially. I don't have a problem with people who don't drink though.

AcidT0y · Answer

Nah I don't tend to trust people who don't drink. Like I rarely drink but people who've made a conscious choice not to drink at all just seem suspicious to me.

CoffeeWC · Answer

I don't drink alcohol, for medical and personal reasons. So I would actually prefer someone who doesn't drink.
