Yeah man i dont drink , i go months without and then i might have 1 beer and not really enjoy it any way, I know the exact thing you were talking about some times people just dont seem to compute when you tell them you dont , it takes some explaining unfortunately society says you must kill your self weekly or you are abnormal.
Being in darwin makes it ten times worse, you might as well tell some people you have leprosy .

You know there are other drinks instead of alcopops. Beer for example has no sugar left in it.
beer has alot of carbs in it though and i have to watch both sugar and carbs... and i know there are a few out there with no carbs but it tastes like poo...

Yeah second that, those low carb beers taste like dog balls.
I used to drink everyday with a mate or two, used to get a case of beer and smash that, weekend would come and wed buy basically the whole bar until we were legless.
I havent touched a drop of alcohol for about 3 months now, i feel alot healthier, i wake up earlier and also i save ALOT of money..even if i spend, itll be on something constructive, not something that i wee out every 20mins lol.
But whenever the occasion, maybe a wedding, birthdays etc, ill have a drink out of respect..

actually as you get older alcohol turns from a stimulant to a relaxant - so the way your body reacts to it changes... the rate however is determined by your body etc

I can't find anything on the net... But it was on the tv a few weeks ago...

I actually have a serious drinking problem.....It's that I don't like beer! I can have 1 or 3 but after that I get a headache..... and the only other thing I like is Bundy.

Yeah i saw that too. You need to be careful to listen to the language they used in that doco. They used words like 'appears to show' and 'linked' which means that they haven't yet proven that what that study showed was alcohol working as stimulant for young people and as a relaxant for older people. Beleive me i have mates well into their 30's that still power well on into the next day lol.

hahha, no.... I don't mind a beer on a really hot day..sometimes nothing better... but the headache is guarantteed if I drink more than 2 or 3.. I certainly can knock down the rum though.

There is a chemical in alcohol that needs a particular enzyme to be broken down and alot of asians don't produce and are therefore allergic to alcohol in general. But what alot of asian people have told me is that beer is worse, it causes head aches, flushing red and i've even seen welts on some asians. It's called Asian Flush or The Curse of Asia.
