Anyone not drink alcohol?

I drink almost every night, sometimes lunch times as well etc. But usually try to avoid getting really drunk, I prefer the tipsy stage.

But I drink for the taste and can't imagine having dinner with out a good red wine, or a nice apero, a whisky before bed, cool beer at a BBQ etc.
Sometimes I do get too drunk, but this is often a side results of peer pressure or depression.
 
Approximately half of people of Asian descent are considered to be sensitive to alcohol due to this condition. Flushing, after consuming one or two alcoholic beverages, includes a range of symptoms: dizziness, nausea, headaches, an increased pulse, occasional extreme drowsiness, and occasional skin swelling and itchiness.

I too get the dreaded "asian flush". I find the best solution is more alcohol.
 
*Cough* Edit the sweary guv!

I still drink a bit but have cut down a lot, started to get a bit of a gut... and being awake on Sundays is nice!

Don't think I could ever completely give up, the odd glass of scotch with dad... wine with food or a couple of pints down the pub I just enjoy too much. It's very rarely more than a couple now though.
 
i dont drink, i never have willingly tried it my friends tried to spike my drink when i was 16-17 and it got spat over his brand new ps2 he wasnt happy lol

i never will tbh, it makes my skin crawl for instance when i goto the bar and get some drink if i spill any over my hand i have to wash it right away

i dont mind people drinking my gf does a little, we have been going out for 4 years and ive never seen her drunk, she is always worried of offending me or that ill get angry but i honestly dont mind. Once she was tipsy after we were out and it had been raining and i convinced her that it would be a good idea to jump in the puddles lol it was pretty funny but the most drunk ive seen her.

i dont mind not drinking its not something that bothers me but i hate when people say to me oh why dont you drink etc like its expected of me. I could go on more but i think i have said too much.

And as for the dude on methotrexate, i have a friend who takes that and its absolutely wrecks him but he has been on it for a long time and has other health issues but i know what it can do but it should hopefully do a lot for your skin :)

Not drinking alcohol is one thing, but that sounds like an obsessive compulsive tendancy to me.
 
I think we should have a poll to find out the proportion of drinkers/non-drinkers on the forum. It would be interesting to run the poll on other types of forums too other than a computer based one.
 
yes great idea

i say a poll asking wether you :

1 drink

2 never drink

3 drink and recreationaly use drugs

4 dont drink but use drugs

i would be very interested in results ;)

Nope,

Dont drink at all. When I was 18, I used to have a couple when we were out, but that was it. Never really saw the point.

My Girl friend thinks that I like being in control, dont know if thats true really :p

A select few of my mates go out to get wasted, which always ends up in them wasting all their money and being sick everywhere :o

And you proceed to take video's of all of the embarrassment dont you :D
 
I drink 1-2 times a week with a bottle of beer. If I have company that may be a glass of wine. I have a nicely stocked beer fridge and a full wine rack atm :D

I don't drink caffine now though.
 
I have a few beers each week, but very rarely get drunk.

I got drunk this weekend, and drove home the next morning which was pretty bad. I don't think I was over the limit, but I could have been to be honest. Next time I'll make sure I don't get drunk unless I don't have to drive till the next afternoon..!

There's much better (and "safer") intoxicating substances around than alcohol, anyway :p
 
I used to drink a lot, was great at the time but paid for it afterwards. I still drink, but not to get drunk. I dont find it hard to go out and not drink, but I once had the problem of friends trying to put pressure on to get drunk. I think it was because they did'nt want someone sober to see what idiots they were making of themselves.

I watched some program called Booze Britain on Bravo and it put me right off getting drunk.
 
I only really drink with my sunday roast dinner. Have 1 or 2 glasses of wine. The entire concept of going out to get completely wasted has never appealed to me. I'll still go to the pub with a few mates for a chat and a laugh. But I only have soft drinks.

When it comes to drinking, I prefer to let my engine do all the work :)
 
i dont know why people say they dont drink because they drive!

Thats stupid, if your drinking do not drive.
If you are not drinking the your are ok to drive. Simple!

If people dont want to drink because they cannot control themselves, dont like it, dont like the effects than that is perfectly valid.
 
I prefer to get drunk tbh. I have much more of a laugh, don't feel stupid dancing and if I make a fool of myself I can blame it on the drink. I'd still enjoy it if I was sober but it definitely wouldn't be as good as when drunk.
 
I'd rather stay sober most nights I go out. I've been hammered once, that was an interesting night. about 6 pints of cider in about 2 hours, started convulsing, stopped drinking for the night, ate some crisps, felt better, then proceeded to club (the drinks were @ pubs). Got more and more steady throughout the night, and by 2am I felt like I could have driven, though that's the slippery slope of drink, that you feel more confident when it's really the exact opposite. But I didn't feel out of it lol.

Following day, early start @ 7, starting work @ 8 lol, (u can tell I give a monkeys about my job), felt a little ill, but no headache, and that all went when I had a fry up @ work and the hash brown(ies) worked their magic and absorbed all alcohol left in my gut lol.

Now, I prefer to chauffeur my mates around, drink shed loads of J2O, then drive them back...+1 female lol.
