With all of the posts concerning drinking and references to drinking in threads, I have been wondering am I the only ATOT member who drinks very infrequently (as in years between times) or not at all?

Welcome to socialism. Drinking has been a social commodity before Jesus' last supper.

Alternatives:
Smoke
Drugs
Play Foot Ball

I choose to drink an alcholic beverage about twice a year. Occassionally I'm forced to drink more often (such as when in a foreign country and there are no other reasonable options available), but I generally don't like to do that. My reasons:
1) Beer makes me throw up. Something about the combination of alcohol and bubbles doesn't sit well. I love the taste of beer in things like beer bread, but I don't like the taste of beer out of a can with all the acidic carbonation.
2) I cannot find a wine that I like. I love fruity tastes, so red wines should be good, but everyone I find is so dry. Dry wine is horrible. If anyone knows of a great red wine that is as far from dry as possible, I'd like to know.
3) Expense. As a poor college student, I'd much rather pay $.89 for a unlimited refill pop than $5 for a small drink that'll be gone before I'm half finished with my meal.

I don't drink either...I'm allergic to it. I get hives and my throat constricts. During my 21st bday, my friends took me out to a bar...they drank and I had one shot. I spent most of that night awake from scratching myself :Q

I don't drink. I have nothing against people who do, I just feel I have better things to spend my money/time on.

I don't drink. Alcohol tastes like dirt and I'd rather not pay a premium for that privilege. That "acquired taste" crap that was pitched at me my whole life turned out to be a total lie.
