Any non-drinkers here? Or drinkers who can give their opinion

[amazingdm]

I'm a nondrinker

I always get the feeling, and an attitude towards me, that drinkers either despite me because they think that *I* think drinking is bad for anyone to do and somehow look down upon them or they just despise me because they think drinking is bad themselves and see me as somehow showing them up. Mind you I never say anything of the sort but people have told me things like that in the past.

Quit preaching and pass the jack. No I drink and my couple of non-drinking buddies think it is funny to f*** with us while we are drunk. The only good thing non-drinkers are for is being the DD.

 

[The Dark Defender]

I have quite a few friends that drink and have been to parties where I was one of less than a handful not drinking, I've never gotten that impression at all (and I don't drink at all btw).

this is what the **** I'm talking about. I WASN'T PREACHING. That's the point. I think drinkers, like you, think that JUST BY NOT DRINKING MYSELF, I am somehow preaching. wtf?

 

[nosebleed.]

If you're getting that impression then you must have done or said something to garner it.

 

[Victarion]

I know 1 person I've gotten that vibe from, except its smoking and drinking. So sue me if I don't wanna sound like Darth Vader when I'm old! The funny thing is, I never pester him about it...he just flips out. Quite an insufferably two-faced fellow.

No, I did not. I simply chose not to drink.

It was a joke settle down...I forgot to insert smiley... t: pick one

 

[Carcharodon]

I have no interest in drinking whatsoever. I haven't touched alcohol and I likely never will, if my willpower holds.

yes but that's exactly the thing I've seen people act like though

Then your friends are paranoid...or you are paranoid. Something is amiss.

I think it's easy to not drink at all. The moment I take one sip and say "Well since I've already done it I can do it again" and then I'd never stop... like with eating, I have no control. I'd be a horrible alcoholic. Not to mention I have clinical depression which wouldnt mix

And you want to be a doctor? You might want to rethink that.

can you explain what you mean?

 

[Green Goblin 1964]

I don't drink , never will , just drink soda.......mmmm Sprite.


And eff the peeps making fun of you for that gay reason.

Heh I suppose soda is a habit I need to kick. It's so incredibly bad for you...actually, if they'd just use sugar it would be better for you. High fructose corn syrup actively kills your metabolism.

I keep hearing bad things about diet as well (as a potential carcinogen).

 

[chaseter]

A doctor with clinically controlled depression I would not go to. As for not drinking...it is your choice and I applaud you for it. Some people's morals start where other's end. I don't drink often and I quiet enjoy one with my meal now and then...but every so often I like to cut loose and get drunk and play guitar hero. Plus I would guess you can't drink with your meds.

Just tell them you don't feel like drinking and that the less you drink the more alcohol they have for themselves.

 

[amazingdm]

well yeah they can kiss my ass

what I'm referring to is this idea they have in their head that I am somehow looking down upon them for THEM doing it.

I was in a frat for a semester. I never drank once. There was this other dude, he was much more impressionable... they made him drink his ass off, and he'd get so pissed at me for not doing it. I think he was more pissed at himself. He hates me to this day.

but about the depression thing.. why not?

I don't hang around with anyone now to have that happen anymore anyway but before I could never find out a good reason to tell em. Now I can just say oh "I can't drink" either personal reason or medical reason.

Well then he is a weak minded p***y. Plus frats IMO are for people that were losers in high school...it is a 'pay for a friend' service. All the frat guys I know are *****es and idiots.

not that I wasn't a loser in high school.. (well not one of the "I do everything under peer pressure" jock types or anything) and I don't have any friends today... I got the same impression about the pay for a friend thing
it was like $100 a month AND they required you to move into their **** hole of a house that reaked like a public urinal for $350 a month, meanwhile I could stay at my parents brand new house? so yeah I said hell no.. it was all a buncha BS

 

[Spider-Bite]

I dont' drink. I hate it. I think it tastes nasty and I don't enjoy the feeling either. My experiences tell me that people assume your a wuss or unmanly if you don't drink.

Oh well don't care. Still ain't drinking.
