Anyone else not like alcohol?

[Rainbowcrash420 109]

I used to get wasted when I was younger. Now i limits my self to 5 drinks and thats about it. Now that Im older hangovers hit me really hard and they freaking suck!! I just like a good buzz.

[Rainblow H. Ash 5,091]

i am sad when people swear off all alcohol forever just because they had the misfortune of having a beer for their first drink.  

 

Exactly.

 

Beers, in my opinion, are purely a social drink. You can't have a good appreciation of good alcoholic drinks based off of those. I think the only beer I enjoyed was a hard cider called Angry Orchard I had a few times. Which is funny, considering Daring's post.

The only people that I personally see that actually like beer is older people with dying taste buds.  XD

I find drinking morally wrong and I am disgusted by anyone who does it regularly.

Interesting perspective. I find that my stance on the issue is "Alcohol vs marijuana - Which is safer vs which is more legal?" But this isn't the time nor place for a debate.

 

Generally, I feel that if you're able to drink responsibly, and it doesn't hurt anyone (except maybe yourself...?) go right ahead. Heck, replace the part in blue with anything, and I'm fine with it.

 

It just happens that alcohol only hurts myself, and nobody else around me is hurting themselves with it, so it's a non-issue for me. I'd be pretty naive if I said the problem stops there just because it goes beyond my own personal borders, though.

That's nice?

Sweetheart, I wasn't trying to insult anyone. Relax.

Your the best scumcandy, you almost always post what I am thinking so I don't have to,

That's nice?

you may not have been trying to, but you did. and I don't even drink!

[Banul 3,831]

The only time I really drink is during the occasional game of beer pong. Otherwise, I hate the stuff, it tastes like bigfoot's unwashed anus.(granted, I haven't tried a large variety of beers). Things like cider is fine, but I don't see the point of drinking alcoholic cider when I could just drink it without the alcohol.

 

I've never had a moral problem with it though, as long as people don't get addicted to it.

Gee, I guess I must be a morally abhorrent and disgusting person then. Nice to know that my fondness for a glass of wine with dinner makes me a terrible human being.

 

If that sounds ridiculous to you, perhaps you shouldn't make broad sweeping judgements about people based on what liquids they may or may not like to imbibe.

[Nulln 755]

Those D.A.R.E. programs need to calm down on their tactics they're using on these kids nowadays, man.

[Denim&Venöm 18,763]

I'm sorry, but I pity everyone who thinks drinking is a good idea. The fact that people who drink need a liver damaging chemical substance to make themselves happy makes me think that there is something wrong with them. it makes me sad that people can't be more independent. It's just impossible to be responsible with a substance that hinders your judgement. 

 

I can never get behind loosing control, cause that typically leads to decisions made that you'll regret later, that could have been prevented. 

 

I tasted beer once. It was gawd awful. I thought it was root beer. I was 8 or 9 years old back then, what else was I supposed to think? I suppose the reason I managed to stay away form it all was being asocial during my childhood, staying indoors during childhood (I lived on a tundra for 2 years, then a forest for another 2). Moving around a few times didn't help. Avoiding joining sports teams and getting out of school ASAP once the final bell rung kept me from feeling the effects of peer pressure. 

 

But one thing that kept me and still keeps me from drinking or any form of drugs actually came from me being a pro wrestling fan. Back in 06, a wrestler by the name of CM Punk debuted in the WWE, and his gimmick was straight edge (SxE), where he didn't do drugs, smoking or alcohol. It's from him that I learned that Straight edge wasn't just a gimmick, but a real subculture, started in the early 80s as an offshoot and reaction to the hardcore punk movement, where hedonism was commonplace. Drinking, drugs and promiscuous sex were the norm, and musicians were dying left and right. Groups of bands rebelled against the new norm and wrote songs about setting an example, fighting against addiction, and having a free & clear mind, a movement that still persists to this day. It was an underground movement that, like the MLP fandom, had a positive message I could not only support, but live by. 

[Kay Dreamer 884]

That's how I see things. Is it a little close-minded? If you think so, fine. But my "broad statement" is my response to anyone who asks my stance on alcohol. It really isn't that vague, either. It gets my opinion across.

 

I'm rather interested to know why you think drinking a glass of red wine is morally repugnant. I can understand thinking that people who go out and get wasted every Saturday night are irresponsible and immature, but you're tarring me with the same brush and I'm curious as to your reasoning.

 

Especially considering that

a) Red wine is known to provide health benefits when consumed in moderation.

b ) I'm not hurting anyone around me by drinking it.

c) I wear off driving when I feel the least bit tipsy.

It's not impossible.  It's very easy, actually.  You just have to find your limit.  

I've never lost control of my judgement, and I've been through every stage.  Just lost balance and stuff if I had too much.  It's pretty easy to know when you've had enough to still function though.  

[SolidTwilight 383]

1, anytime some one uses the term "morally wrong"  they give the imprison that they disprove of something with out any thought behind it. a lot of people find masturbating, non sexual nudity or loving someone of the same sex to be "morally wrong" and want to force every one to not be able do any of these things just "because". I think of the phrase "morally wrong" as a type of blind hate word like a racial slurs. I think some one who is a pedophile is bad because they destroy kids lives, not because its "morally wrong".

 

2, you say your "disgusted by anyone who does it regularly". so anyone anywhere who drinks on the regularly is disgusting to you. no matter how much of a non problem they may be, you put them in the same group as some one that kills some one in a DWI. your talking like a hate group by lumping every one into just one big bunch and calling them all disusing.

I don't drink alcohol and I never will. I have no problem with people who do, though I admit I feel very uncomfortable around people who are drunk. Even if they're just a bit tipsy. I've seen exactly what that stuff can do to you. I've seen the way it makes certain people act. I don't want to go anywhere near it.

 

You can drink whatever you want, I'll just stick to coffee and smoothies.

[Nulln 755]

My uncle and my brother have had bad experiences with alcohol. My uncle got his drivers license expelled for too many DUIs and my brother almost passed away because of severe alcohol poisoning. Since I was young, I have always found alcohol to be a scary thing. I've seen what it can do to people.

Since then, I see anyone who drinks alcohol, consumed in moderation or regularly, as someone... who I do not want to associate myself with in any sense. I feel very strongly about this and I don't see my views changing anytime soon.

that's pretty unfair to judge the entire rest of the world on just 2 people's own actions.

But my problem is why do you need it at all? Why can't you or others find happiness or a good time outside of the bottle? I'd like to think it isn't impossible for you. It just boggles my mind that people need help having a good time.

I can find happiness in other things.  But it is also something I enjoy.  I enjoy the taste and I enjoy the feeling it gives me.  It's like a warm tingle with a lifted mood.  

I could ask people why would they ever need to find happiness in roller coasters just because I'm scared of heights, but I know that different strokes for different folks.

It's not for everyone, but it is something that I like.

I'm sorry to hear that. People in my family have (or have recovered from) alcohol problems as well, so I get where you're coming from. I take their experiences as a warning of 'what not to do', but I know my own limits and I trust myself and my common sense.

 

I still think your view of the subject is very narrow, especially as moderate wine consumption does have health benefits, as I explained before. (And I'm not harming anyone else by drinking.) But if it's a very emotional topic for you, I can understand why that is.

 

It's a little sad that you're willing to completely disassociate from any person who enjoys a few drinks, though. I can't imagine ever being told by someone I met that they want nothing to do with me because I ordered a cider instead of a lemonade.

'Cause it's fun. Why do people go on roller coasters, or go parachuting, or ski? All those things have inherent danger to them as well, but they're fun. Tipsiness is a pleasant sensation, just like a roller coaster is. (Being flat-on-the-floor drunk is not pleasant, and I've long since learned how NOT to drink myself into that state.)

[Glitterheart 64]

Personally, I can't stand the taste of alcohol.  I've just got some really, really strong natural aversion to it.  I can't even eat deserts like tiramisu that contain rum.  It's just... bleh.

[Lightning-flickr 214]

I don't see how saying "drinking is bad" is a bad thing. Nothing good has ever actually come out of drinking, like,  You never hear about a drunk driver SAVING kids or anything. And frankly the people who are supporting alcohol are being immature. Our opinions do not affect your life style so why should you even care?

Because it's not nice to call people morally wrong and disgusting for choosing to drink something that they don't like to drink.

How would you feel if people were calling you wrong and disgusting for enjoying something that you like?

[Deathstroke 1,564]

alcohol is forbidden in my country and evan if it wasn't forbidden i still Wouldn't drink

I don't honestly care. If I like something I'm going to do it and I'm not going to be immature. 

But if you want, I know some pretty talented surgeons that could remove that stick from your arse

That was extremely impolite.  I have not said a single mean thing in here. I don't know why you're needing to be so mean.

You make it sounds like that's all we ever do. Barring alcoholic, people enjoy other things in life. The fact that you are viewing us in such a bad manner boggles my mind.
