Why do some people not drink?

[aircooled]

Sometimes you catch a buzz in the parking lot and then join the party turning down the drinks

I just drank two Diet Cokes and I am about to pass out

I limit my intake because alcohol contains a lot of empty calories, and beyond the health benefits of a limited quantity, doesn't do much for staying in shape. However, in the right company a nice buzz can be a lot of fun. Besides, women + alcohol = :Q

Vodka, that stuff can get you in sooo much trouble.

Anyway, some people just can't take it and know it, others may do it for religious reasons.

Because they're expensive.

So is alcohol

It's harder to buy a boat $15 at a time. I guess I drink less than most people, though.

Because a boat costs more than a beer.

I can't drink alcohol cause I got a bad kidney.

1. Beer is bitter. You have to drown yourself several times before the bitterness disappears.

2. Alcohol smells and tastes bad. It is just bacteria waste afterall.

3. Is there a difference between, horse pee and beer? They're both made from the same stuff.

4. Getting wasted makes you feel horribly sick the next morning.

But, beyond that, I love to drink. Many fun nights with the right girls and lots of booze. Well, its what happens after drowning in the booze that makes the night fun, not the drinking itself.

You're the kind of drinker that gives responsible social drinkers a bad name. You obviously don't like consuming alcohol, but you do it anyways because your friends are doing it or whatever. And when you do it, you drink yourself stupid.

Oh man, I drank way too much last night. I woke up this morning still buzzed. Haven't done that in a while!

Yes, this is clinically the problem being described as the "asian blush". Cures? Drink more. Temporary relief? Take a Pepcid AC (heartburn med) 15 minutes before you start to drink. This is what I used to do, but since my body got used to me abusing it, I don't turn red anymore.

Alcoholism runs in my family, so taking up drinking means a significant chance I'd become an alcoholic, which is not cool. Besides, I'm a control freak, and it's more fun to laugh at you drunk morons out there than to get drunk.

Are you kidding me??!! Pepcid AC? No Sh!t! I get the asian glow pretty bad, sorta drank in HS and picked it up a lot in college, since it is a college town and something is always going on (UCD) and my tolerence has gone up a bit but i always turn red with in the first beer or two

I just dislike the hangover feeling. I really really hate that. I can't stand that. That is the number one reason for me not ever drinking again. I drank once when I was younger, felt really good, thought I could down another fourty ounce (two altogether) and the morning after was NOT a nice sight.

Also back in the day I was at my friend's house where his mom would let us drink. I had a few screwdrivers and lets just say I blacked out, woke up in the middle of the night, puked all over my friend's nice bed and had the MEANEST hangover the next morning, EVER!

 

[randomlinh]

ack... loud music plus alcohol... gave me a headache

 

[jurzdevil]

i dont need too nor do i want to.

given that most people say that they drink to party because it makes them more relaxed and open. that it livens up the party and some people cant party without it.


i can have fun and be a "party animal" without drinking. my friends who get plastered say thye dont mind and its fun having me around anyway.

plus i am always able to drive and keep 1 less drunk on the road.

 

[tk149]

'cuz I have Oriental Alcohol Flushing Syndrome, aka O.A.F.S. <-- me coined the term

Lack of alcohol dehydrogenase Linky

One beer gets me drunk. Three makes me puke. I'm a real cheap date, but I can never drink and drive.

 

[rh71]

I tried to get drunk and the experience sucked. The next morning didn't help matters any.

I truly do not know why people do it. Acquired taste my left @$$ cheek. If it tastes like @$$, it tastes like ass.

 

[TheHeartless]

I have a social problem....and i dont like the idea of drinking 'till i throw up...

 

[WinkOsmosis]

They think it's wrong.

HAHA! I'm in Davis right now. I just graduated from here and am waiting on a job. I went to the Cantina last night.

I am 20 and have never drank. I am always the DD and watch out for everyone. I may drink when I go to school in a few weeks though.
