I Do Not Drink Alcohol Stories of Experiences

I've never had a drink. Not even a sip.

I was reminded that I should join a group like this by something I just heard James Randi say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9w7jHYriFo&t=8m02s

I don’t drink and never have. Its not really anything I care to much about doing and really don’t see a point to it. I grew up in a family where all my uncles were and still are alcoholics. So whenever I see it around me it brings...

It's a lifestyle choice. For me drinking doesn't mesh with being healthy. I have nothing against it for others, but for me...I am active and like living life with both hands ready to grab...whatever comes at me.

Drinking always made me...

I am in college, 20 years old, and I've never had a sip of alcohol in my life (except during my First Communion lol when I was 8 years old lol).

Why? Everyone asks me this simple question but the answer is not simple at all. I would...

I've had drinks before but I don't drink. 2 strawberry daquiries is enough to give me a buzz and I don't like having a foggy mind. I've had a wine cooler, it wasn't as horrible as most alcohol. I've had sips of beer, beer is amazingly...

So, I don't really talk about this with much people. I've never liked beer. When i was 17, I drank vodka sometimes, but my drink of choice was always bourbon either straight or RTD's. Well, I'm a pretty small person, what you would...

Although technically I wouldn't class myself as teetotal I try to steer clear of alcohol.
I used to drink a lot, out on a Saturday night with my friends going from one pub to another until the early hours of the morning. I also used to...

I was just criticized for not drinking by people who do. Why does it upset drinkers to find out someone does not drink? Why do they get so angry when I say I don't drink. I am not criticizing them for drinking, so why criticize me for...

I have about a thousand and one reasons why I don't drink, a couple are health reasons, some are common sense, and then the rest have come along over the years.The main reason I don't drink is because I don't like the way I feel when I...

When I was a teenager and hung around with the "cool" group I used to drink a lot, but as I started getting older I started losing my taste for alcohol. I think I finally lost my taste for all drinks with alcohol when I was about 35...
