Anyone else not like alcohol?

[Not_active 731]

I like the taste of it, but I don't like the thought of having ethanol flowing around in my head and body, constantly risking damages. I never get drunk, but I may take some sips now and then.

 

What frustrates me is seeing all these teens getting dangerously drunk like every weekend, as there is no legal and safer alternative to alcohol. I wish I knew why the government would sacrifice young lives like this...all about the money I guess.

I've had wine a few times, didn't really like the taste of it.  Tried beer as well, didn't like the taste of it either...

water.

 

 

what bothers me is the 'cool' parents who think they're teaching kids to drink responsibly by letting them drink underage.  teaching them to break the law is not teaching responsibility.

People wanna have fun...especially teens. So I dunno, water wouldn't really work in that manner.

 

I don't know about any parents who let their kids drink, but they do it anyways.

I never drink. I have no interest in the effects of such and the smell for the most part is horrid to me. If others want to, I don't judge, but I won't be joining them. 

[Scrubbed user 3,415]

I have a drink every now and then. If I'm at a friends house and they just bought some beers that supposedly are great, I'll try them.

 

I have been drunk before and I hated it. The hangover was even worse.  

[Samurai Equine 46,254]

I don't hate alcoholic beverages, nor do I hate those who enjoy drinking them.

 

However, I made a life choice a long time ago that I would never drink anything alcoholic. I prefer to have my wits about me, and there are other things I'd rather get addicted to. Games, movies, cartoons, stuff from Japan. Even junk food would do.

 

At most, I'd be willing to taste, but never actually drink anything alcoholic. Although, if it's sake, I might be tempted to change my mind...

[CoolConfucius 52]

I tried it, but haven't had good experiences with them. They make me feel dizzy and sick. It frustrates me that drinking alcohol plays such a huge part in my college culture and I don't fit in because I don't drink. 

[PROJECT: Simon 3,953]

don't know why people drinks alcohol

[StitchandMLPlover 930]

I don't drink and never will since it is bad for my health. I have never tasted it but I HATE the smell. Ugh.

[Clover Heart 978]

I don't like drinking. I don't like the way it makes me feel. Some things taste okay (although I really don't like the burn) but I don't like the taste of beer or liquor straight up. I like mixed drinks where you can barely taste the alcohol. I was once very disappointed to have ordered a rum & Coke which was more like "Would you like a touch of Coke with your giant glass of rum?"

 

But again, I don't like the way it makes me feel. It makes my legs feel weird, for one. But more than that, I don't like the feeling of the loss of control. It's very stressful and unnerving for me.

 

I actually had a period, recently, where for the first time in my life, I actually -wanted- to drink. I was so stressed out at the job I was at, I really, really wanted to drink. Most of the time I didn't because I didn't want to add to my stress by being hung over at work, but when the weekend came around, I began drinking in increasing amounts. Since I quit, I haven't had the urge to drink, once. I'm a little concerned, cuz I know that that's a unhealthy mentality to have, but it's over, now. Hopefully I don't get into a state like that ever again.

Don't ever drink face punch. That swill was rank enough to make me never want to drink.

[Oblivion 20,266]

Yea, I'll have a few beers every now and again, sometimes a lot more than a few on the weekends.

Its a saying that may as well apply in alcohol drinking. Once you're addicted well you can be unaddicted again, but I heard its very hard to get rid of the addiction. Very hard.

 

(I really am sorry if I'm offending anypony. It's just a saying)

[__Duck-Quack__ 151]

I hate all kinds of alcohol. Though I do find that bottles of wine make a good decoration around the house.

[lomk 20,663]

Beer is gross. I can't figure out why people drink beer. Because beer is cheap? I don't know. I do, however, like to drink every now and then. My preferred drink is a glass of whiskey neat. Don't water it down with ice or other things. It doesn't taste good and for a while I had to chase it down with something because the burn was pretty intense. Eventually I got to a point where I could tough out the burn. Anyway, I drink every so often. Maybe once every week or two, but I only have one at a time because that's where I draw the line. I don't want to get drunk and if I need to I want to still be able to drive my car. (It's not illegal to drink and then drive so long as you're not intoxicated. It's not usual for me to have more than two drinks within a single hour, but I don't ever drink so much that I can't walk in a straight line. If, however, I do have a third, I'll wait a while. I'd hate to see someone hurt because of me)

 

The reason I like whiskey so much isn't about taste. It's about feel. It goes down and melts inside, sending a slow wave of warmth fro head to toe. It's awesome to have a shot or two on a cold winter evening. 

 

But only one or two. I never have more than that. Always gotta exercise caution with spirits because a little is still a lot. But anyway if you offer to grab a couple shot of whiskey with me, you're speaking my language!

considering I've only had sips I don't think I would really like but technically never had a glass I guess once in a while I'd have to have a sweet one perhaps a honey mead but other than that no I don't drink

[lightning-spark 34]

ok so this is me as a student, i love the alcohol, especially whiskey (thank you blackjack). but here is what  i dont do. even though i love the flavor so much and the feeling (i never get hung over or sick) i will only drink with friends because i dont see the point of drinking on your own unless you are really upset, in which case pass me a case lol.

[LightningWar 50]

Sometimes I crave booze, but I find when I'm hammered I start crying or insulting other people. It's not pleasent to look back upon. I prefer smoking weed for a buzz if I'm looking for one :comeatus:

I wish the government would stop separating alcohol/tobacco from other drugs, because they are drugs, they go into your head and fuck with it. Society uses the word "drugs" to demonize other substances to support their prohibition, while alcohol and tobacco are just bad for you, but they're "not drugs" so it's okay and normal, everyone does it anyway.

The government does classify alcohol and tobacco as drugs.  That's why there's age restrictions and other restrictions for them.

Sure, but if I told  you that your friend is a drug user...would you get the idea that he just takes a few drinks every weekend?

No, because there are specific names for different drug users, and no one uses that general of a term for someone who drinks alcohol.

[Not_active 731]

Yes, there are many different names to different people, of which many are synonymous and therefore pointless.

Exactly, that is my point. It's just what we call it, "drug" is just a word we made up. It doesn't make it any better just because we don't call it a drug, when it in fact is.

We do call it a drug.  It is classified as a drug. 

If i said your friend is a drug user, would you get the idea that they take tylenol for headaches, or birth control, or cough medicine for colds?  same concept.  drug user has a negative connotation is why you wouldn't assume that is what was meant.
