Theguyoverthere · Accepted Answer

I haven't had an alcoholic drink in so long and don't intend to. I used to drink pretty heavily years ago but it got old. I was tired all the time and was even developing a huge tolerance. I wasted so much money and I wasn't even drinking at bars I was drinking at home.

I get tired when I drink anyway so all drinking really would do for me especially at this point is make me want to go to sleep, then get paranoid that I mighta overslept. Plus if I got a hangover, the entire day was wasted and it would become a chain reaction to other ill feelings like lack of appetite killing my energy and so on.

funkipunk · Accepted Answer

I only drink about once a week or so. Occasionally I'll go to a party/go out, and have more than just a couple drinks.

I don't really have a "favorite" drink. When I do drink, I'll usually have a beer or two.

No, not awkward at all to hang around with a "non-drinker." That doesn't bother me in the least. That'd be like saying I'd have a problem hanging around with people who are "non-jean wearers." It's stupid, who cares?

Pressure them to change? No, again, who seriously cares that much?

ForgetMeNots4 · Accepted Answer

I never drink. Never interested me at all and it tastes nasty. I got drunken my 21st b-day and I almost had to go to ER because of alcohol poisoning which was 2 years ago. I tried to drink Few Times since then... maybe three times? Got buzzed. Found it pointless and waste of time. I got drunk one time two months ago and it sucked and really made me realize how much I do not enjoy it and waste of ny life it is, so I will not be drinking at all ever again. I can have a blast without the use of alcohol.

Kris85 · Accepted Answer

I probably drink more than the average 30 something year old woman. I have always enjoyed booze, too much for my own good, but I love sitting at night and having a drink or two before bed to relax. And I also love going on a bender once in awhile and forgetting my own name that night. My favourite drinks are paralyzers and rum and coke. I have a few friends that don't drink and they are great for DD's. I always have a ride home then.

BertMacklinFBI · Answer

d000d I don't drink anymore! D: but man did I love my Jameson & Ginger Ale. I would go beach bar hopping with all my friends from like 10 to 2:30am and each one of us would spend around $110-$180 on drinks, after pregame hahaa. good times. :D I wouldn't pressure or anything. and I can still hang with people who drink.

JackKerouac77 · Answer

Rarely, much more indulgent in the green (which I treat like alcohol anyways) than anything else.

If I drink it's either beer or a mixed whiskey drink. Lately I've enjoyed bourbon and cherry Coke (with lots of ice) while writing or taking a walk.

Can't even remember the last time I got drunk or more than slightly buzzed. Mostly enjoy the taste and stiffness it brings to my mental state.

One bottle of whiskey might last me a year, so it's a great value.

No problem hanging out with non drinkers or non smokers. But non talkers? That might be problem.

TonyRyan · Answer

A 24 oz sipped slowly while doing laundry, cleaning house, cooking dinner, doing dishes, putting away laundry, giving my daughter a bath and playing with her in between former activities, then watching tv and putting my daughter to bed. It's sometimes a daily thing.

I prefer a malt liquor as that's what I grew up with.

I don't care if someone doesn't drink, nor would I pressure. I do it to alleviate myself a little as it's an all day process with one 24 oz. I have bad insomnia and no insurance on myself because I pay for my daughter so a beer every other day or so is fine with me. Mainly it's because I like the taste though.

Ijustloveyou · Answer

I drink about once a month, the time when I usually have money :p
My fave drink is Tom Collins, why, I don't know. I just love the taste, it's delicious.
I have friends that don't drink and i've actually tried to hide it from her/them. They're like, 'we know you drink, don't be shy about it. I don't mind if you drink, it's your buisness.' So no, I don't find it awkward. I gotten they're acceptance, so I guess I wouldn't find it awkward.
And no, I wouldn't pressure anyone to change anything. I have many friends that drink, but also many who don't. I won't pressure anyone into anything :)

Bluemax · Answer

How often do you drink?
About two or three times a month. It's always when I'm entertaining guests over for dinner. I pour myself a glass of wine or three while I prepare dinner, and then pour the remainder of the bottle when I'm having dinner

What's your favorite drink?
White and blush wines. I don't like dry wines (red tend to be drier)

Why?
It tastes good

Would you find it awkward to hang around a with a non drinker?
Not at all.

Would you want to pressure them to change?
Certainly not.

meatballs21 · Answer

-Mostly on the weekend, occasionally during the week (it's Thursday today and I'm having some wine with dinner)
-Beer (lager/pilsner), vodka, red wine (dry), in about that order. Beer and vodka are practically neck and neck.
-Beer is refreshing and goes well with food like burgers, chicken wings, pizza. Vodka mixes well with almost everything and comes in fun flavours. I find most white wines have a harsh edge so have grown to love reds (used to hate them)
-No, it's their business if they do or not.
-No, unless they were receptive I'd leave them alone. I would happily offer them suggestions and sips if they were curious and didn't drink because they hadn't found something they liked yet. I was there myself, once.

Hyuji · Answer

I barely drink at all. I only drink when I'm with friends at their place or at a bar or something (and if I have enough money at said bar of course).
I'd say Heineken is my favourite drink so far. I haven't ever really drunken many types of beer, yet alone many types of alcohol, so yeah.
Not at all. And no, I wouldn't pressure them to change. I don't like pressuring people into things (unless it's something else and I'm doing it as a bit of a joke with friends and such but don't mean to be really serious at all).

MoonMice · Answer

On average I drink about once a week, usually on the weekend when going out or hanging out with friends. Sometimes it's three times a week, sometimes not at all in three weeks. I take it as it comes and as I feel like or don't feel like.
I've had phases in the past where it was much more frequent, when I was more of a partier. Now I kind of settled a bit.

Favorite drink would be some good beer, but also wine. I also like certain liquors.

I wouldn't find it awkward to hang around with a non-drinker, as long as we're both having a good time.

If they are consistent non-drinkers, I would fully respect that and not even think about trying to make them drink. That's not cool.

I'm sure technically you are in a minority, but I think much less so in the US than you'd be in Europe. Alcohol consumption is nowhere as frequent and prevalent as in most European countries. Here you'd probably feel more like an outsider than in the US.

Anonymous · Answer

i drink a few times a month.

DoraLikesSugar · Answer

How often do you drink? Maybe once a month. As soon as I get a job I'll probably start drinking heavily Monday to Friday though to help get me through the day.
What's your favorite drink? Vodka mixed with... something that tastes nice.
Why? Gets you shitfaced and vodka is the only drink which doesn't give me a hangover for whatever reason.
Would you find it awkward to hang around with a non drinker? No. That's an odd question.
Would you want to pressure them to change? Only if they had nothing left to live for.

CommieDearest · Answer

I'll answer your questions in order
A couple of times a month
I get in the mood for different things. Guinness is always a safe bet for beer. As for not beer.. I'll pretty much pour anything into a glass with hard liquor and call it a day.
Why what?
No.
No.

lumos · Answer

1. I never drink.
2. I don't have one since I don't drink and I've never tasted any.
3. ^
4. No, as I am one myself. Nobody has ever thought it was awkward to hang with me because of it.
5. Nope. A few people have tried to, but they weren't even close friends to begin with (thankfully).

VulcanHades · Answer

Completely nonexistant.

It had a pretty negative impact on my social life. Since it's a manly thing to drink beer people always thought I was pretty weird for not liking or caring about alcohol. I had a couple of female friends who really enjoyed partying and drinking beer. But since they knew I didn't drink they felt like I wasn't going to like hanging out with them. So often times I didn't get invited to places or parties just because of this detail.

yaddayaddayadda02 · Answer

- I drink most Friday and Saturday nights (with some thursdays and sundays thrown in the mix)
- I like beer, wine and liquor drinks
- I drink because I like the taste and I like getting a buzz
- I wouldn't find it awkward. I'd love a built in designated driver.
- See last sentence

Account · Answer

I didn't drink at all in the past. But now I kind of do. I usually drink beer.

How often do you drink?
Once a week. I usually order a soda when I hang out with my friends. Even at bars and pubs.

What's your favorite drink?
Mozart black chocolate liqueur and Baileys.

Why?
I just like the taste.

Would you find it awkward to hang around with a non drinker?
Most of my friends drink more than me. But no, surely not.

Would you want to pressure them to change?
No.

thisGUYknows · Answer

Usually every Saturday and Sunday. And during the week if there's a good game on tv to watch and I go to my cousins pad or he comes here. I'll drink just about anything but I prefer liquor because it takes a lot of beer for me to get buzzed. If I'm at a party and someone's there who doesn't drink, its a little awkward, but I'm not gonna try to get them to drink. That would be a dick move

BassistForever · Answer

After I turn 21:
Probably every day. (not necessarily to get drunk)
Beer.
It just tastes amazing. And there's so many varieties!
Umm. It would be awkward to hang out with a non drinker if the point of the hangout was to get drunk.
I'd encourage them to have a drink every now and then and loosen up, but not to get drunk drunk.

centigrade · Answer

I've seen alcohol do terrible things to good people and I don't want it in my life. Now I have 0 problems with people that drink and can control it and alcohol seems to be an awesome lubricant for a social life so I'm not all "Well since I don't want it, I don't think other people should have it and we should ban it" like some people on other topics believe. Just control it and it is absolutely fine by me :)

Scrambled · Answer

Lol... you are a minority. I am a gym freak but love going out. The two don't work that well together especially as I try maintain my... im gonna say it;) sculpted physique. So I don't drink that much. 4 at the most and I am buzzing. I do let my hair down sometimes but like its been only 3 times this year. I also only stick mostly to beers or wine. The mixers are calorie bombs and any spirits thrown in really knocks your body.

AleDeEurope · Answer

I only drink at parties, and it's been a while since I last drank, couple of months minimum.
Favorite drink is Four Loko, that shit's amazing. But I also like Cubata, which is Rum & Coke, and Vodka & Sprite (don't know the name though).
If you don't like drinking, then you don't, I respect you for not being pressured by others. Not awkward at all.
No, I wouldn't pressure them, it's their decision and I've got to respect that.

BCRanger10 · Answer

I'll go out drinking maybe two or three nights a week. When I do, I'll have two, maybe three; I'll have more if I'm feeling up for it. I'm a social drinker. My favorite drink is a local brew called Boulevard Wheat.

To my knowledge, I don't hang out with any non-drinkers, but I don't see why I'd find it weird or awkward. If someone doesn't drink, I won't pressure them into it. I'll probably ask them why they don't. That being said, my youngest sister turns 21 soon, so...

Hans222 · Answer

Haha, I hope many will answer "yes" to the one but last question :-)
I'm a total non-drinker. You can get me drunk by letting me smell a glass of whisky...
Well, my friends always have a driver when we go out, so they don't mind that I drink coke, Ice Tea or water hahaha!

witchprincess · Answer

I drink at least one night a week.
My favorite drink is anything with alcohol in it, or Blue Moon if we're drinking beer.
I don't find it awkward to hang out with a non-drinker unless I want to get plastered that night.
I would not want to pressure anyone to do anything they didn't want to do.

MyNameIsJonas · Answer

I've gone through stages of drinking quite heavily to not drinking for an entire month.

When I am drinking... Party wise ill probably drink an entire bottle of whiskey within the night (Jack, Jim or Johhny Walker, or fireball) If im at the bar... Usually do a few scotch and gingerale or vodka and redbull with plenty of shots with friends. I'm a social drinker. Drinking alone is boring.

I don't have a problem hanging with non drinkers.

daniel_honey_boy · Answer

I don't really like alcohol – I rarely drink it. x__X
The stuff I sometimes have are ciders (sweet ones :P ) and long drinks. They're good cuz they're not very alcoholic and the taste is nice; I've got some strawberry & lime cider in the fridge right now and it's not that bad. :x Obviously I'm cool with a non-drinker cuz I'm pretty much the same. I prefer soda and energy drinks. :3

TheYellowBear · Answer

I drink a couple of times a month.

My favourite drink is beer. I am not a spirit drinker.

I wouldn't find it awkward at all and I would respect her stance on being tee-total and I wouldn't try and change her mind.
I enjoy the taste of beer, that's why I drink it.

plain_table · Answer

I have had alcohol only 4 times in my life. Very small quantities each of those times- like how you take medicinal syrups... Like an inch of a tiny cup thrice? Once it was a tiny cup full.
I liked fruit wine a lot. Tasted like fruit.
I would not find it hard to hand around with a non-drinker, and I won't pressure them to change. It's their choice, whether to drink or not.

Ihav2fart · Answer

Once a week usually, but not heavy drinking.
At a bar - Black and Tan, At home - Johnnie Walker Double Black
Cause it tastes good to me.
I wouldn't find it awkward hanging out with a non-drinker. Designated driver sounds great to me. :P
I'd ask em to have 1 beer with me, but I wouldn't push it. A simple no is good.

Anonymous · Answer

I am an alcoholic. but usually I do not get drunk. my body is resistant. I should drink very much to get drunk.

I started to drink more in the colder weather of where I am now. and I'm alone so that added to it. I don't really wish to stop drinking though. It's my only closest friend.

Rarely drink. When I do, it is only one or two drinks max.

I prefer wine, followed by high-quality whiskey, then beer (craft brews).

Non-drinkers don't bother me, and I have no interest in them having a drink if they don't want one.

I rarely, if ever drink. Maybe only on special occasions like on someone's wedding, or a friend's birthday, etc. But I can go months without alcohol.
