Have you ever reached a point in your life where you simply had no drive to drink or otherwise become inebriated?

[Charliefretz329]

I’ve been there for the most of the past 2 years. Just no drive, and when I do it’s unthrilling…

[Nawlins34]

Yes! It was the end of 2015 for me, just filed for divorce, so I was really looking myself in the mirror and looking at what I can improve in my life.

This area hit me. I wasn't a heavy drinker at any point, but when I chose to do so, I meant business.

But I looked at it and said, "wait a minute, do I seriously need to drink just to relax/have fun? I can't achieve this sober?"

So it was a personal challenge I issued myself, haven't purchased or had a drink since.

It's been fun ever since!

Pretty much my whole life. I have never liked being intoxicated. I don't like feeling buzzed, and I don't like the effect on my sleep and my libido. When I'm out I'm almost always driving, and I'm careful not to risk a DUI.
I do enjoy the taste of a good ale or whiskey, but I'm happy to drink them slowly.

[Charliefretz329]

I hear you and agree

[Yucy_Gluttony]

LOOK. My goal is never to get drunk. I just like the taste of certain drinks. I haven't been tipsy in years! I don't like the feeling of being drunk, I just like the taste of the drink <3 BOTTOMS UP!

[Charliefretz329]

I can understand that.

[Charliefretz329]

I like beers and wine and spirits but I don’t like the feeling that comes with them anymore. I’d almost drink NA beers… but the empty calories would be ridiculous lol

[Yucy_Gluttony]

I had the trouble of not liking the basic beer they would have in every bar, so I ordered heavier because of the taste. I want to go out with a friend and try some new ones now!

[Charliefretz329]

I do like thick dark lagers and stouts

[TrueConfection]

Yep. I haven't had alcohol in 6 or 7 years. Some drinks sound good because I like their flavor, but I don't want to feel the alcohol.

[Charliefretz329]

Yep, crazy but that’s me too now

[exitseven]

I used to quit when I become unemployed. It was one less thing I had to spend money on. drink a lot. By today's standards people would probably suggest I go to rehab. I m lucky I never got in an accident or got arrested. I had some close calls for sure. A year later after I found a job I really had no drive to go back to it. That was over 20 years ago. I would like to say that everything that was screwed up about my life got better but it really did not but I know I am better off.

[jennifer_bloom]

I don’t drink cause it costs so much money, a couple of cocktails and a light snack will run me over $50.00.

[Charliefretz329]

That’s so true! Yeesh

[LazerBean]

I didn't know the need to become drunk was a thing for people other than alcoholics.

[Charliefretz329]

Even 1 drink doesn’t interest me anymore

[RobT312]

yup. quality over quantity for me...
i still like a drink, but im not drinking to get drunk, im drinking because i appreciate the drink. a few good beers, whiskeys, wines and cocktails are my goto's

[DarkWinterNights]

Yup, happened at like.. 22 for me. I’ve gotten “drunk” like 3-5 times since then. Still drink, but mostly socially and it’s for the taste. I’ll drink 2-3 drinks over like a 4 hour period. Camping is one of the few exceptions.

[jshm2]

It's called "being a fucking responsible adult"

Something there seems to be fewer of year by year. These dipshits then complain about Gen Z and millennials for doing "worse".

[Charliefretz329]

Lol you can be responsible and drink

[DonkeyDan]

I certainly don't drink to become drunk these days, a lite buzz is fine but anything deyond that just isn't fun anymore.

[Chiarac2003]

Never liked drinking… I’m underage but still don’t have interest in it.

[douride2]

That point in my life came years ago. Probably 20 - 25 years ago.

[Likes2drive]

I hardly ever drink, haven’t been drunk in over 20 years

[boobliker]

no never, life is to good living to not remember it all...

[Cleopatra1980]

No I just matured to point I drink for enjoyment. Now not to keep up with people.

[kuladiamond]

Why would you have the drive to drink alcohol anyway?

[Katebfun]

I quit the booze it causes more problems

[Charliefretz329]

Truth

[Apple1996]

I've never really found it thrilling to drink

[Pete671]

No desire for alcohol whatsover,,,
