1. I'm not 21
2. I don't like the taste of it
3. A DUI charge could toss my intended career (police officer) out the window
4. I have better things to spend my money on
5. It doesn't appeal to me

Being in college, many of the people I know from both work and class are binge-drinking idiots who party and/or drink every other day and it pisses me off to no end. The only advice I can really give is to just try to ignore it and not let it bother you.

I drink it when out once in a while;however, it isn't a substance that I need and there for can go long periods of time without ordering or buying the substance. Certain kinds are good in small doses all the rest are a health hazard that doesn't need to happen all the time.

I don't drink. I've never had more than a couple of sips of beer. Didn't like the taste.
I do like the taste of some alcoholic beverages, but I have a big fear that I will totally lose myself in a bottle.

Check.

Never been drunk, but I've seen it enough to know I'm not missing out.

4) I'd much rather spend my money on video games or sex toys.
Absolutely.

5) Getting drunk socially doesn't interest me, because when people are drunk I don't find them interesting. I have no desire to get drunk alone.
Drunk people annoy me.

So why don't you drink, athletics? Seeing as you're "Tilted," I think you'd know by now that it's generally expected that when you start a conversation, you provide some discussion about it.
Yup!

I can duplicate the buzz by staying up super late and drinking concentrated, highly sweeted coolaid and soda with caffene. Plus it's not as expensive though it still gives me a sugar low headache when all that wears off. Alcohol just seems so expensive and wasteful. Also Codine does the same thing to me as alcohol does including the dizziness. Codine doesn't give me a hangover either. Anyone got some Vicodin?

althletics- it's because you take pride in your choice of not drinking. you associate your abstinence of alcohol with responsibility, willpower, strength of character, or other "good" qualities.

When your girlfriend drinks, you associate negative qualities to her- the opposites of the ones you've associated with abstinence. You're not seeing the fairly mild effects of a drug on your girl, you're watching immoral behavior.

At least, that's my take.

It takes a lot of convincing to get me to drink at all, and that's only one drink on a special occasion. So at most, I'll maybe have one margarita in a year. The reason is, at one point I was hospitalized and put on a large amount of morphine for a long time, and while I was on it, I became violent and verbally abusive. They nearly restrained me. I don't ever want that part of me to come out again. I prefer to stay in control.

I don't drink because I:

...Hate the taste of pretty much every alcoholic drink I've ever consumed.
...Can't afford it.
...Don't like the way it makes me feel when I drink it. I get this feeling like my stomach is going to explode.
...Don't even want to deal with the concept of being sick, getting a hangover or doing something REALLY stupid while intoxicated.

It's just not worth it to me. I'd rather spend the money on musical gear and video games.

I drink, but I rarley get drunk. Maybe it's a sign of growing up?
Good point. A good bottle of wine enhances almost any dining experience . I wasn't going to reply in this thread because I do drink but in support of this line of thought I do have a glass of wine (sometimes two) with dinner but it's been a long time since I've ended up in the bag.

islam. (although im aware that judaism also prohibits the consumption of alcohol?)

its one of the contributing factors as to why i dont drink, but not exclusively the only factor. there are so many reasons, but i just weighed up the pros and cons of it..and realistically theres more cons than pros, whether it be monetary, phyical, emotional senses etc.

i couldnt give up a single minute of soberness to be smashed. i guess thats why i never have smoked weed or any other drug. although ive had the chance many times, as well as been tempted on numerous occasions. usually my common sense prevails, and i go home not feeling guilty.
