I'm soon to turn 23 and proudly haven't drank yet. I've grown up around a large family full of heavy drinkers (and many alcoholics). Watched many parts of my whole family fall apart. I also went through college at UC Santa Cruz loving to party and hit the club/bars. Through all of that, I saw many more negatives than positives and realized I can get natural highs and didn't need it. So I guess I haven't drank because of the fears of what it can do that I've seen in life and don't think it is worth the risk for the positives I've seen.

I definitely don't think drinking is wrong. My younger brother and my best friends, who are like brothers to me, all drink (though they drink responsibly which I found rare to find in college). It just isn't something for me at this time. So if anyone is on the border of deciding if they want to drink (or quit), realize there are people on both sides so don't feel forced to one side.

I like the taste.

Unfortunately, I hate the feeling of being drunk.

In my case, a quote from Dimebag Darrell.

"I love being drunk. I just hate being hungover"

Strangely enough, I've been drunk to the point of blacking out and being unable to walk, but I've never once had a hang over.

Some people are just like that I guess :P Though I only really get a serious hangover if I drink x percentage of alcohol and don't don't have a big meal after I finish drinking.

That's always a recipie for a bad morning......going to bed on an empty stomach after a night like that...

Getting hung over is a side effect of being dehydrated. Drink 1 glass of water for every alcoholic drink you have and you will see that hangovers disappear

I'd drink more if it didn't taste so bad(liquor) and I'm allergic to beer... I maybe drank 3 times in the last 5 years... It makes me more likely to say what I'm thinking...

Yeah I know. But I sometimes drink to get drunk (I'm a happy drunk, so I don't don't get depressive or anything), so I'd rather just settle for the booze and chew on light snacks :P Finishing off with a big meal seems to do the trick.

It is the greatest legal social lube I know of. The stuff people say and do still makes me lol. Want 2 strange woman to give you brains get them drunk. Most sober woman would give you dome but not with another woman for example. Also a great ghost silencer and works wonders on old injuries.

Because it makes you get away from reality. It makes me happy to say the least.

I just think it's fun on occasion. And the drinks can be pretty good, too.

I drink ales, both to enjoy the flavor and to get drunk. I drink scotch and various cocktails to get drunk.
