Am I the only one on here who doesn't drink?
I've never been drunk, or partied with alcohol, etc. I can count on one hand and have a couple of fingers left over how many mixed drinks I'll have in a years time. When we went to Ocean City last August, I did have about 4 strawberry daquaries, so it's not that I dissapprove of it or anything, but I just don't care for the taste of alcohol. I'd rather have a soft drink. Am I the only one???

No your not the only one...I have never gotten drunk or anywhere near drunk...I usually only have 1 or 2 drinks a month and its only when my husband and I go out to eat....he is not a drinker either...we just never got into the whole party scene

Nope - I tend not to drink either. Then again, I have a slight allergy to alcohol (red, splotchy and trouble breathing). I have a rare drink, especially if I go to an all inclusive resort, but I always ask for a drink with little alcohol in it!

You're not the only one Susie. I enjoy the odd drink now and again but am just as happy with a soft drink at the pub - in fact most times happier with a soft drink at the pub.

Both hubby and daughter are like me too.

I will have a glass of wine or a fruity girl drink every now and again. It just pouts me to sleep so I can't do the social dirnking thing. Everyone makes fun of me becasue I have one glass of wine and am falling asleep!

Oh good guys, I was feeling like I was the only one..........everyone I know drinks except my siblings. My grandfather was the next best thing to being an alcoholic, and even my beloved Dad loved his beer.....but it never rubbed off on the 5 of us. Jerry likes to have a tall one when we go out to dinner and every Tuesday he goes out after fire training with the guys for beer and wings. I have no problem with that, but he knows he better NEVER drink too much and then drive.........

Its very rare that I go out to drink - its so spendy!

If I do go out, I'll just have a few, but if I drink too much, I get so sick, and I HATE being hungover, it ruins the whole day! I hate being sick!

I'm only 19, so I can't LEGALLY drink. I have never even tasted alcohol before. I lost my best friend of 5 years as a sophomore in high school becasue she started to drink. That is one thing I cannot tolerate. Drinking isn't a past time. My dad has a beer frequently in the evenings & goes social drinking at the bar in town, but he has never in his life been drunk.

I don't drink alot now, but right after the split, I was going out every wednesday and most saturdays to the bar with my friend, but I'll usually only had 2-3 beers, I did get a little tipsy a couple times, mostly due to shots, but I don't go out that much anymore so I'm hardly drinking at all, I do enjoy drinks with dinner though, not that I go out to dinner that much either
I love bloody marys though
My father was an alcoholic (sober for over 20 years now!) so alcohol was not part of my growing up after he went sober, and I've seen the destruction alcohol abuse can bring. I can count on one hand the number of times I have been truly drunk, but I have never puked- my body knows when it has had enough- even if I have a whole drink in my hand, when my body says "hey- you have reached your limit of alcoholic intake" I stop.

I used to drink a lot back in high school but now that I'm in university I need to concentrate more. I still have the occasional drink but I haven't been drunk for about 4 years.

I have never been drunk. I do enjoy a good Margarita or strawberry daquiri. I normally have one and I'm ready for bed. Everyone laughs because it just seems to put me right to sleep.

Wow, I get plowed every night!
Just kidding. But I do enjoy my wine on Thursdays. It's a nice way for me to wind down after a stressful work week. I'll drink the occasional glass at home, maybe once a month or so. I remember drinking so much I'd throw up, when I was younger, but it's been years since I've done that. With age comes wisdom, I guess!
