I have drank before and thoroughly disliked it. I've lost plenty of friends to alcohol and watched it change them overtime and didn't want that to happen to me. The only "beer" I drink is Root Beer. gosh, I stinkin' love Root Beer. |

I hate hate hate beer and I don't drink a lot of wine. But. Every now and then, when the mood strikes, I'll get a margarita or a vodka martini, or heck, I've done shots of Patron before! My favourite mixed drink is probably a cosmopolitan martini. I don't know why. But it's rare. So rare. It doesn't take much for me to be laughing hysterically at everything that happens. _________________ guitarfreak217 wrote: Everyone, listen to Leigh.

i don't drink becos 1. i dislike the taste of alcohol 2. i have a pretty low tolerance of alcohol, plus i get a reaaaaally red flush from even the tiniest of sips (the asian flush! ..and im only half) 3. im too young to buy any for myself, anyway. 4. i've heard there is a genetic predisposition to alcoholism, and alcoholism seems to run in my paternal and maternal side of the family. and i doubt i'd be much of a drinker when i do become legal. _________________ I used to be Snow White but I drifted -Mae West |

Heck yes it can be hard. But I find it much easier to say at the start "no" then three down the line. Is that a problem? I know my own weakness, and i'm combating it. Am i missing out? Heck no! why? Because I know i'll still have a racous time anyhow! I can forsee the only two things I'll be missing out is shots through the mouth, which i've never been fussed on anyway, and shots through the eye (a current trend in Scottish uni's! woop!  ), which is just stupid. I mean, I can't do shots of coke through the eye can i? no. good. That means i'm safe from that side of the drinking culture... _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

one of the reasons i'll never be able to drink is because it killed my cousin. there's no way i'm touching the stuff. i have before, just to try it. but i didn't drink a lot, just sip. but this all happened before my cousin died. sad day. _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R.

its not that i don't WANT to drink alcohol, i physically can't. when i was 18, i went thru a partying stage that could BARELY pass as a "stage" because it didn't last long. i would just take shot after shot because the foofy drinks were too sugary and hurt my stomach. well, shots make you sick. and i've been sick so many times from drinking that i've developed, what's known in the psychiatric world, as an aversion to alcohol. meaning that if i so much as smell it, my stomach turns. developed by classical conditioning. my brain now links alcohol to barfing. so, i have no choice in the matter. but its probably good because i have a long line of drunks in the family, meaning that we may have an addictive personality type gene, which i think i DO share because i get hooked on other things (no, not narcotics or anything). anyways, it was god's gift to me, this little aversion. |

To those of you who don't think you like the flavor of beer, keep in mind it is typically an acquired taste. But it is so very worth acquiring. I now drink soda very rarely because beer has awakened me to how shallow the taste of soda is. If I want a cheap drink with nothing to offer in the way of flavor, I'll drink water. It's cheaper, healthier and more refreshing. Most people when they were 5 probably preferred a happy meal to a delicious steak, but when they've grown up, know how to get much more enjoyment out of a good steak. It's the same with beer and soda. Or, for that matter, with good beer and Bud Light. (aka flavorless alcoholic water) I have a history of alcoholism in my family, but I don't have any problem with it. If you treat the drink with respect from the start, there isn't much danger, but there is a lot of benefit. On the other hand, if you start drinking because your friends convince you that it's the cool thing to do....there are probably problems in your future, alcoholic genes or no. I think you should treat alcohol the same way you treat marriage/relationships. Marrying the wrong person has ruined a lot of lives, but I think it's unreasonable to say that most people should consider celibacy for that reason. The same with alcohol. Treat it with loads of respect, but it's silly to avoid entirely unless there are serious extenuating circumstances. Yes, you can have an ok life never drinking anything better than soda and never eating anything better than a happy meal. But why would you want to live that life when there are much better options available? (Just so you all know where I'm coming from, I didn't drink a drop of alcohol when I was in high school/college for the same reasons that most of you have giving for not drinking. Now I look back on that and really regret not drinking with my friends once I reached the legal age.) |
