I don't drink. Most beer tastes like piss, and I just feel no need to do it. It doens't do anything for me.

I 17 and I don't drink, and I never have. My dad is an major alcoholic and I don't want to end up with all the problems he's had. I've got enough of his traits, and I'm figuring I'd be an alcoholic if I started drinking, so I'd better not try it.

Surprises to find so many who don't drink. This is is proportionally higher than I see in daily life.

I bet the the percentage of people who drinks is lower for (a) younger people and/or (b) dare I say, geeks? I know quite a few who did not drink when they were younger but sratted drinkinn later.

Non drinker here. My wife, however, loves wine and craves beer while watching sporting events, and all my buds consume beer at every opportunity. I love watching other people drink. Funny, but they always think they are way more with it and interesting while drinking. As an objective observer, I don't think so, although I do think they are funny, at least most of the time.

To each their own.

I rarely drink. Alcohol tastes really bad to me. I kinda wish I didn't have such a problem with it s because not drinking hinders socializing.

I rarely drink, mostly due to I find the taste of alcohol revolting, hell sometimes i provide the alcohol, I think of my friends drinking as my entertainment cuz of their stupidity when they are drunk.

i think it is really incredible how much college kids, such as myself can drink over a four year period, and still stay in relatively good health, i mean, take any other age group, and put them through four years of our drinking, and i honestly dont think that they could do it, thats just my observation

oddlink, for some of those hard partying college kids, the physical impacts will take awhile to sort out. Cause-effect isn't always linear nor is it instantaneous. But that's true of just about anything we do on this one-way ride.

I do not drink at all. No alcohol ever.

I am still always the life of the party too. I think people would be scared if I drank.
