I never drink either. I don't do drugs I don't do weed. ... I don't think it's good. It's also extremely expensive
I know people who earn money like me, but still live in a trailer. I live on a huge property in a house and drive a big new truck
I don't know I guess it's just what you want. I want it my way...
Its awesome to see I'm not the only one who does this! People keep trying to get me to drink, its so annoying. I decided not to drink alcohol since in Highschool, people kept telling stories about how drunk they were and how once someone got in a coma due to alcohol. Also because one time when I was 16, someone I knew died because he was biking on the highway drunk and got hit by a truck.
Its also so sad people can't accept it when you tell them you don't drink alcohol. It almost feels like you are forced to drink alcohol in order to be accepted by society. Its even more sad when people try to trick you into drinking alcohol or switch up drinks to get you to drink alcohol. It felt like hell to bear with people like this. Now I'm 21 and some friends of mine finally accept the fact I don't drink alcohol. It took a long time to find people who actually accept me for the fact I don't drink.
Excellent Take. I rarely drink as well, but fortunately not for the reasons you wrote. I was one of the first of my friends to get my driver's license, and my station wagon was the biggest car any of us had. So I became the designated driver by default, and rarely drinking just stuck with me. To this day I still rarely drink, like maybe two to four times a year.
yup been there dude designated dickhead duty. its not fun watching and helping drunky get in and out of the car without vomitting in the car.
@GOOSEBOY78 Yes it was generally a thankless job. I can't even count how many times my friends would break my chops because I wasn't drinking or only had one beer the entire night.
"You need a nipple with that beer?"
"No, because I'm driving your sloppy drunk ass home."
"Oh yeah."
Thanks. My designated driving rule has always been if I'm driving, it's going to be in their car, because if they are puking and going nuts, let that be in their own cars and not mine.
Excellent rule to have. 👍
My last whole drink (I've taken a sip of someone's drink here and there) was a Hurricane in New Orleans during Mardi Gras 2004. And prior to that was my 1999 NYE party.
As a DJ, I occasionally get someone who wants to buy me a drink and gives me a bit of a hard time, but otherwise it's been a long time since I've had peer pressure to drink.
I started drinking a bit in college at parties and I have only been drunk about 3 times I think. I have never blacked out. But, after I learned that ethanal is a class 1 carcinogen and has similar risks of cancer as cigarettes. I just decided I'd rather live longer and not do the drug, so I don't drink anymore.
It's good to learn what we're putting in our bodies and weigh out whether it's worth the risk for us.
Yep, ethanal turns into acetaldehyde in the body and it then becomes a genetic mutagen that can harm your body's DNA and cause cell scarring.
You're awesome. I drink but not really that much anymore and I know what you mean about high school and college people just seem to really want to shove it in your face and get weird about it.
I admire your decision and thank you for keeping the roads safe!
I messed with around with alcohol from about age 12 to 15. At age 15 I over dosed on something equivalent to LSD by mistake and had a close brush pumped out at a ER. It was God's blessing in disguise because I stopped messing with anything. I don't even like taking prescribed medications though I have to. Despite my experience with alcohol up to 15, I had a rough childhood due to alcoholism in my family and I told myself as a child I would never want to put my children through the things I went through. Ironically, I took care of others children for a while, though I never married never or had any children of my own.
Yeah, I understand your sentiments. I don't drink either. I've seen enough of what alcohol does to people and never saw the appeal. My family has had a long history with alcohol and I'm glad it's been dialed back.
Sorry to hear that, but glad that they, or you, or both are recognizing the issues it causes for your family.
That's a wise decision, good on you.
The only alcohol I've ever had was when I swiped my step dad's drink. I could only get a sip before he took it back real quick. What can I say... I was a kid and I thought it was apple juice.
I respect your decision, sad about your friend. Was she able to walk again? Did her skin heal or were there grafts? Personally I drink for health, not to get drunk. Most forget what Jesus first Miracle was. Alcohol isn't the problem people are. I'd be willing to not drink at all if I had to. Though I'm trying to drink more regularly to get the benefits. My last drink was a month ago. I do also enjoy the taste of wine, but it isn't my life or devotion.
Thanks. It took her a long time to get back to as normal as possible. She had skin grafts and was in physical therapy for a couple of months before she could walk again with a walker, then cane and eventually just with a bit of a limp. I definitely agree that alcohol isn't the problem, it's the people who abuse it.
Good to hear that she could walk again.
I may drink sometimes just for the lower glucose level or because i really love hot mulled wine but i will never push a non-drinker to "join the club". No means no and that's it. I ask "Want a drink?" and you tell me what you like to drink. I won't say a word about the non-drinkers. As soon as someone gives you some dirty looks or mentions a thing, get up and leave. They're not your friends.
Thankfully my core group of friends have never disrespected my wishes, and I love them for that because those are friends and decent people who only care that I'm happy not trying to force me to do something for some other reason. It's good you do the same.
Correct.
I had my share of being peer pressured of doing something i didn't want to. Of course that left me with only few friends. This is where fake friends and friends are distinguished.
I've actually maybe had 1 shots worth of alcohol in the tiniest sips though my whole life as well.
And while I agree with everything you've said; it really sucks being that guy who no one want's to hang out with at the bar or go clubbing with. Not drinking is incredibly healthy in one way and incredibly isolating in another.
Maybe I'm unique in that my experience hasn't been that. I've gone with friends to clubs and bars and as far as I know, I have never been univited or passed up because I don't drink. My attitude is just we're all just out trying to have a good time, mine is just a little different but I'm having no less fun because there isn't alcohol in my system. I think if you find yourself being passed up, it's a conversation you have with your friends if it matters to you, that you still want to go and live it up too.
I have a few friends who don't drink. One made that choice for religious reasons, another because of medical issues and the third simply because she doesn't want to. That has never been a problem. They have never judged me for drinking or partying, and they don't mind hanging out with me and my other drunk friends when we're out. It's actually a great thing to always have that sober friend in the group when everyone else is drinking.
That's a really good point and one I definitely believe in. You have to watch out for your crew and if you happen to be sober, better for it.
I quit drinking in 2016 best decision of my life. It wasn't actually doing anything for me or my life. Just blinding me from the guys only interested in sex and fake friends.
I realise now that drinking was my krypyonite.
It kept me so dumb
You live and you learn, right. Cool that you didn't ignore that voice telling you, there was another way.
Thanks, honestly it was like an epiphany. I woke up one morning and decided that I had had my last drink. I don't miss nor do I remember what drinking is like. If I were to drink again it would probably be because someone else has asked or given me alcohol by mistake. I could go out without drinking but by not drinking others claimed it made them uncomfortable. 😒 You lose a lot of friends did I mention that?
I don’t care if you been life long sober. Good for you. But it would be tough to date someone like this. I’m a very moderate drinker myself. I might one or two glasses a wine once a week and that’s it. Only on holidays or very special occasions I might imbibe more. But I hate feeling like shit the next day and I’m very good at limiting it. I also hate how I feel out of shape.
But I would feel uncomfortable drinking in front of someone who doesn’t drink.
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
I enjoy a good drink now and then. But for health reasons, I don't drink very often as it leads to bad food choices for me. I'd rather think with a clear head.
That's great that you've committed to something and have never wavered.
Good for you, that is very responsible of you. I think your strong mind and compassion for your friends is admirable. I love that you also don't condemn other who drink responsibly while declaring your stance on never having alcohol yourself.
I personally don’t drink alcohol. I’m 24 now, and the amount of peer pressure I dealt with was crazy along with people being surprised I don’t do it. I made the decision because I like to be in control of my mind and body, plus I deal with food addiction. Food gives me temporary happiness, so I can’t imagine what alcohol would do to me. I know I am not mentally healthy enough to drink.
I respect your decision. I used to drink alcohol but I now have a medical condition that prevents me from doing so and I want to make sure to take care of my body as best as I can
I definitely understand. I developed a chronic health condition in my late 20's where drinking alcohol can be very detrimental to my health and condition, and one of the best things ever was the doctor telling me this with this kind of "I feel sorry for you look" on her face, but I was like, don't drink, so not an issue.
Good for you. You saw the evils of something and chose to take the bigger path.
How is your friend doin now?
Did she make a full recovery or does she have some lingering effects from the injuries?
