I Don't Drink Stories of Experiences

There is nothing wrong with drinking alcohol. But I just personally don't have any interest in it. I don't feel like I am somehow morally superior because I don't... I simply am not into it, it's not my thing.

I've never been drunk...

I just want to find ways to socialize without it.

It seems like every other twenty-something just wants to get drunk or high. Why can't I find anyone who wants to just watch a movie or a play, or go to a museum, or have tea and discuss...

I wish I could have told this to every single person who has tried to make me start drinking alcohol with this logic.
Also… you don’t get people trying to make you eat something you don’t like...

I don't really drink except on rare occasions, I think people who drink are great as long as they aren't an alcoholic, I never have been into drinking. I think this non-interest in drinking may have started when I was 10-12....my dad...

I know I'll probably be greeted with disdain, or downright hate, for proudly saying that I don't drink. But I'm sticking to my principles and personal beliefs regardless of what's said to me. Simply put, I dislike alcohol and don't...

Hi im a 15 year old male and i dont drink. All of my friends throughout middle school have evolved to drink and smoke. They do not see any problem with that.i do. I have trouble hanging out with them anymore because of their habits and...

Why lose what without I'm everything but human?

First off, I do not judge people who DO enjoy drinking as long as it is within reason and they don't wreck lives with it. I simply have never developed a taste for any kind of alcohol. I don't particularly like how it makes me feel and...

I used to when I was younger, only when I was socializing with friends. Once I married and had kids all that stopped. I also became more religious so that contributed also to quitting. So I went about 17 years without a drink. I never...

I find myself working in food service to make ends meet. Right now one of my jobs is at a hip bar/restaurant. The focus is the alcohol.

My manager handed out "tasting notes" that we had to memorize to do the job. Eventually, it came...

Im not saying im perfect but i dont see the purpose in drinking its like throwing your life away in a bottle full of puke its gross. I lived with an alcholic for years MY FATHER he did some really bad things that I cant even put in...

I was a big drinker on parties. And had the absolute worst hangovers. Every time I felt like I had completely destroyed myself the night before. I was vomitting bile til 5PM. So I stopped. I only have a drink every once in a while for a...

I quit because it was no longer worth the trouble and I wanted to enjoy life in a different way. Drinking is a big commitment of time and money. But I din't have any struggle. I just decided to stop and stopped. That made it quite hard...

So I always wondered what the point of drinking was..I mean I don't get it. Beer is gross. Tequila has this cheap taste to it. Vodka's gross. And the fruity ones--I don't see why you can't just drink soda or fruit juice..Lol. I did get...

I didn't go out of my way to stop... I don't hold any judgement about it... and if push came to shove I might take a few sips to be a gracious guest, but in the end when I evaluated what I wanted to put in my body... Alcohol just didn't...

That was my wake up call. Plus rolling up on a cop on a detour at 2 am. Your kind of screwed. The whole experience opened my eyes. I was drinking 7 nights a week. After work to drink then go home driving drunk. I believe God was...

As everyone in this group doesn't drink I suppose they have all been in the same situation as me: How do you tell it to people?

Everytime I go out with friends they drink, and I don't even mind that. The problem is they don't know how...

Or at least that's what I tell people. And no, I'm not recovering from anything; at least not alcohol related. And I'll admit that when I was younger, in college, I could out-drink all the boys. But that was back then, and mostly out...
