Does anyone not drink?

[Mayhem]

I'm an alcoholic I've had about 15 beers and half a bottle of Burbon now - still typing like a champ so it cant be all that bad... I think its a pilot thing...

Don't drink.

Is there anyone here that doesn't drink alcohol?

If there is i need some advice. One weekend about a month ago i decided to just have a break and not have any beers. Since then i haven't drunk any grog at all. I still go out to town with all my mates, to the pub, fishing and to sports events and have a pretty good time but i have no desire to drink, like i just don't feel like it. I really used to enjoy drinking and i'm worried that i might not drink again.

So if you don't drink can you tell me why you don't drink and if you have ever gone a long period without drinking can you tell me why you stopped and why you started again.

You're worried that you might not drink again?:shock:

I am not a drinker. I started to drink when I was 18 but I really didnt see the reason. I couldn't stand the smell or the taste of any alcohol. I used to watch my mates throw their money away on alcohol and have nothing to show for it. I thought it was very sad that they felt they needed alcohol to have a good time. So from around the age of 19 to 33, I didn't touch alcohol.

I am also a bit of a health and fitness nut, and don't want things like alcohol in my body, but besides this, I have never been 'one of the guys' that has to be seen to be a drinker with mates at social gatherings, nor have I ever had the desire to be. However, at age 33 I did start having alcohol occasionally, and have continued to up until a few weeks ago. It was nice for a while, but the novelty has worn off and once again I'm done with it. I just don't think alcohol lives up to all the hype.

Amen to that. I have it in the 'Undrinkable' category. It comes as no surprise that it is imported by Carlton Utd, purveyors of the worst beers imaginable;
- VB
- Crown Lager
- Fosters
- Stella
- MB
- Carlton Draught (not their worst effort though....)

As for undrinkable, I thought Singha and Tiger Pi$$ (it's actually extracted from the urine of Tigers. True story.), but the worst Ive ever had was Waikato Draught.... it makes VB seem almost, almost, palatable....

Add XXXX and any mid strength beer to that list, they all taste like crap!
I used to drink Stella, I havn't had it in years though, can't remember what it tastes like.
And yes, Waikato is discusting, kiwi's don't know how to make beer! (and that's coming from a kiwi )

I'm currently rather happy with my old mate Jim

I totally get what you're saying. Last night i decided that i would drink for the christmas period so i broke my drought and got wasted lol. While it was fun i can't say that i really missed it. There are a couple more occasions that are coming up that are just going to be easier if i drink lol so i'm going to drink but i think after the christmas period that will be it for me!

I think my drinking before last night was just a habit, i drank because that's what you did on the weekends and i just couldn't say no.

One thing though that really really does suck, since i stopped drinking (this was like down to the minute... no second) the second i stopped drinking i stopped getting sex. It was just like that, snap of the fingers and both were gone! Now what does that say about guys and drinking? I think it means that guys really are better looking when they're drunk.

Hahahaha you are such a resourceful chap Jay! Lol i heart you Jay.

Hahahahaha....... Gordo thats gonna be our little personal joke lol cant wait for you to come down and visit me.... im just getting ready to go out..... yes.... to The Peel ! (it has a reputation) lol

 

[mysnakesau]

I am not interested in drinking to get drunk. I have a few social drinks occasionally but am not a regular drinker and have no desire to be. Last time I got drunk was at friend's place in Sydney. Finally crashing in bed at 3am, up at 8am to drive home which is 6 hours north. I was so sick and the worse headache - never again. It seemed to take forever to get to Tuggerah where I finally stopped to guzzle a whole bottle of water, few panadol, a feed and then I started to feel a little better.

I don't need alcohol to enjoy life and certainly enjoy waking up next morning to remember what happened last night and not hungover.

I used to drink a fair bit when i was a teen but the novelty wore off and i stopped for 4 years
Stopping did not bother me at all as iv never had much of a taste for alcohol particularly beer
But about a year ago i tried Canadian Club and started drinking it cos i loved the taste
Im now drinking everyday again and i want to stop
If u have no desire to drink its a good thing for ur liver and ur wallet, if u can have a good time without it then give it away for good with no regrets
God this is starting to sound like AA

 

[richardsc]

i used to drink in my youth,but as ive got older ive stopped,u dont need to drink to have fun,seeing pissed folk is a turn off,i have grown up with it in the family to so see the crap it causes,another turn off,plus seeing middle aged folk carry on like its cool to get pissed as if there still 16 is kind of lame to me,but each to there own,ive got nothing against it,i even may have the odd beer,but very rarely now,dont see the point in it but thats just me

 

[thals]

Not a drinker at all myself, never been drunk, smoked or done drugs, not once. No real desire in me to either.

That's because you have never done it! Edited your comment to exclude drugs as they're **** (although alcohol is a drug)

Thanks to my mate Jim Beam I had a massive craving so now I'm sitting here eating a chilly prawn pizza and garlic bread from Dominos (delivery, I don't drink and drive, that's silly!)

Omfg this is heaven

 

[everlong526]

Well i drink often but not alot, i mean 3 or 4 times a week 2 or 3 beers, but coming from somebody who smoked weed daily for almost 5 years, i understand the feeeling of missing out on the fun.

In saying that it took me to mistake a sniffer dog as a guide dog at the train station a few years back to get me to go clean.... damn labradors!

 

[cockney red]

I drink to forget I'm a alcoholic..

 

[richoman_3]

[Ersatz]
