i have not drank in over 10 years and now if i want to i do not
-
I'll have a drink once in a great while. It's never been something that has really appealed to me.
-
i drink wine regularly. a glass every few days, maybe?
it winds me down from work.
i'll drink beer/liquor at social gatherings, just not all the time.
-
I quit over 8 years ago.
-
i drink beer and wine sometimes but usually for a rebate reason like corona had a 10.00 rebate which i did but have not gotten the check yet.doing surveys i sometimes think i need a drink for this one but i would also quaify for liquor surveys more.
-
No I don't drink. I only drink water juice n sometime soda. :)
-
I drink socially, but my friends drink almost every day/every other day. I drink maybe once a week to once every 2 weeks. My friends haven't grown out of their partying stage yet and I can't really blame them. We're all in our twenties.
-
I drink pretty much only when I'm eating out but it's rare. I just don't get it. Every time I drink, it's not really 'cause I want to, it's because I'm trying to get. It just doesn't taste good to me. So I settled on drinking being something kids saw adults do so they decided to do it themselves. Also because they were just told not to do it. A lot of the alcohol is mixed with juice or something for a better taste (well, I assume that's what it's for) so I figure, why wouldn't you just drink the juice itself? So many other things just taste better, so :dontknow:
-
I drink occasionally! I'm not a big drinker, I like to drink wine coolers every once in awhile.
-
I'll have a beer every so often,but in all honesty,I've never had much of a taste for the alcohol.
-
I used to drink with my friends when i was younger and before I had my son. Now that I have a son I have to watch what I do as to not pass on bad habits.
-
nope no alcohol for me
-
Normally drink when we have dinner guests or large gatherings. Otherwise I am a Coffee, Tea and Water person.
-
I think drinking is a waste of good money. What does it solve? You still have the same problems you had when you put the glass down. Why bother? I'd rather just go shopping or out to dinner. You spend about the same amount. :bs:
-
I DONT DRINK MUCH. I THINK THE LAST DRINK I HAD WAS IN JANUARY.
-
never could drink alcohol because of conflict with medicine.
if I did, I would have a serious problem
I don't feel like I am missing anything!
A natural "high" comes from within.
-
Not alcoholic drinks, but I drink soda.
-
Yes I have an occasional drink a few times a week and besides it is a proven fact that people who drink occasionally live a more healthy and active lifestyle than those who do not drink and also any Doctor will tell you that its good to have one beer or glass of wine everyday.
-
I used to drink a lot, but not so much anymore. I still tie one on occasionally, but most of the time it's just a couple of beers at social gatherings or none at all.
-
i use to alot but i very seldom drink anymore :female:
-
On occasion, but not frequently
-
:wave: i drank heavily for alot of years. i was in the bar business. now i have a beer or two every couple months. have not had any hard liquor in over 2 years.
-
I use to drink some. but just seems like the older i got the less i wanted any. Haven't had a drink in over 5 years.somehow it just does not appeal to me anymore. Just drink in moderation everyone and don't drive while drinking please.
-
I like to enjoy a drink once in a while. I understand that people can have issues with dependence, someone close in my family did and nearly died because of it. I have to most respect for the people that struggle with it everyday and I'm proud of them for being strong. There are other people I care about that I wish could be that strong but I can't help them, but I try to
-
it been over 40 years sen i did
-
i am like you i use to drink but i dont anymore, sometimes i will buy beer put it in the frig for a month or two then get rid of it. kind of makes it secure just knowing it is there even if i dont drink it. i was really really bad once and never want to go there again.
-
not in over 20 years
-
I think I may have had a drink or two with friends maybe three times in the last ten years. Once was the day after I left my husband, once was when I was fired...I noticed the pattern.
-
I quit 3 years ago when it took me in my head somewhere i didn't want to go
-
Had a sip of my dad's beer when I was 4 and that's about it for me. I live a very happy, fun life! I don't wake up with headaches, I remember everything I do and say, never regret stupid actions because I was out of my mind. I don't shake or get the sweats...the alcoholic never started with the first drink saying, "Can't wait until I can be an alcoholic". If you never start, you'll never risk it!
-
I would love a drink right now. Some cranberry juice mixed with corona and a lime. mmmmmmmm
-
drinking ruins lives

Nah, just don't have an interest.

Yes, generally after reading too long on the FC forum.....
That DOES sound kind of good (Azanne07's drink)....never tried it but I might have to do so!

drinking ruins lives
Really?? ALL lives?
Hmmm.....I know quite a few successful people who might argue with you on this.
Being a drunk, or lacking the ability to keep it under control, might ruin SOME lives...

One can posit that adhering to religious superstitions causes blindness and that it results in a functional inability to reason, which ruins lives.

I was raised in a tee-totaler household and didn't have my first drink until I was 30 years old. I have absolutely no tolerance for it but do like Tom Collins, margaritas, etc. I have to go very easy on it. I will sometimes mix wine with Gatorade to help prevent headaches because of the sulfites. I had wine at my son's winery wedding and didn't get a headache, so that was really good!
-
Do I drink alcohol? No. My drink of choice is iced tea straight, no sugar, no lemon.. Drink about a gallon of that every two to three days. 8) 8) 8)

Guess what? You have your own religion that blinds you to all other religions.
Religion is whatever defines what is true, what is right and wrong, and what is the purpose in life. Even if you think that there is no truth (which I can hardly imagine), you are just a member of the irrrationalist religion. Judging from your profile and past posts, though, I think your religion is rationalism and your god is Logic.
Just know, logic is to no avail without some assumptions to reason from. ;)
Oh, anyway, I drink, just most of the time there is no ethanol in my beverages. :P

-
I drink once in awhile for special events but I don't make a habit out of it. When I do drink I will drink wine, wine coolers, liquor, mixed drinks. I really don't like beer at all.
-
No I do not drink.
I don't like the flavor of beer and I never drank a mixed drink that I really liked, so it is very easy to not drink.
-
i use to but not anymore
-
I enjoy a nice martini every now and than. When he cookouts and bonfires I'll have one or 2 Mikes or other cooler type drink. I don't enjoy beer so much. My husband and I went out to a theater where they serve liqueur and meals throughout the show. I had a Raspberry Chocolate Godiva Martini.... he thought I was a regular drinker and almost didn't go out with me again...I think he's surprised at how much I do drink which is sparse.
-
No I do not drink.
I don't like the flavor of beer and I never drank a mixed drink that I really liked, so it is very easy to not drink.
I drink but only occasionally. I like to drink red wine/ white wine and sometimes mix drink. I drink maybe 3-4 time a year. Usually when i get together with my sisters.
-
I have a usual drink if the time is right. :angel12:
-
I dont drink im a good girl =) never had the interest and becoming more religious so yeah... i dont and wont and i am content with my decision
-
yes on occasion but not all the time i grew up around alcholics so I keep it down
-
I do not drink I am a religious person.
-
No I do not drink. Only thing is coffee, water, cokes, milk. I was raised not to drink. I have tasted it and just about lost my breath. I do not see why any one would want to mess up their life by drinking. But each his own. Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.
-
Yes I drink beer normanly about 2 a day then it depends what I am doing that day if I have more.
-
I think I have had maybe 2 drinks in 5 years, definitely not a big drinker. Drinking doesn't do anything for me I can definitely do without it and not miss it.
-
Once in a while. A beer here and there, but I will often go weeks or months without any.
-
Drinking is over rated yet sooo many young people are doing it and ruining their lives.
-
Yes, occasionally.
-
I drink socially too, but I also drink if feel like having a drink. I'm more of a beer guy, but I'll down anything. I don't drink, say, every week or every two weeks; sometimes several months go by and I don't feel like drinking, then again, sometimes I may drink two consecutive weekends. If I had to give a number, I would say anywhere from once or twice a month, average. I also like to try new beers, specially hand crafted or micro-brew. I'm open to try anything at least once, but I tend not to go for the fruity ones, lol.
-
I drink occasionally. Nothing like I used to do when I was in my early 20's. A little bt is fine every now and then.
-
I dont drink im a good girl =)
Sooooo then - a girl who DOES drink then is a BAD GIRL??
For crying out loud....I can't believe someone would say something like this....
(no, actually I CAN believe it.....and that's sad)
-
I do not drink I am a religious person.
(http://i.imgur.com/bdWy6.jpg)
and WHAT does that have to do with it? Are you claiming that religious people don't drink?
-
Only drink once in awhile. Maybe at a picnic a wine cooler or a beer, and for a special occasion a glass of wine or 1 mixed drink. (more than 1 puts me to sleep)!
-

And there a number of people from ALL AGE GROUPS who drink, and don't have a problem with it
and DON'T RUIN THEIR LIVES!!
-
I drink. I don't drink beer, but I will drink almost any kind of liquor.
-
I drank a few times when I was younger but I didn't know my limit and got completely wasted. And now I cannot stand the taste of any alcohol, it makes me nauseous.
-
:thumbsup: I don't wantta say I drink or don't drink..... But truth be told, it's been so long (3 or 4) years now, I can't remember the last time I drank anything alcoholic..... Oh Yeah, 3 years ago at a party on the beach watching the fireworks on the 4th of July, I had a beer... Yee-Haa, Party-Hardy !!!!! :peace:
-
After my children were born I couldn't put my weight back on so I was told to drink a beer a day. Guess what? It worked.
-
I stopped drinking about a month ago. I also stopped eating for three weeks. I had food poisoning coupled with some kind of stomach virus that didn't allow anything into my body. I lost about twenty seven pounds. Sunday I forced myself to go out and had a nice steak dineer with two really nice glasses of wine. The food was delicious, wine spectacular, and I fell one hundred percent better for having forced myself to get up and get out. I now way one hundred and ninety nine pounds and the wine actually got me a bit tipsy!
-
once in a while I'll have a drink or two.
-
I've never really enjoyed the taste of alcohol so getting me to drink is kinda hard. My friends will convince me to try their beer but after a sip I go back to drinking my soda. The last drink I had was probably around December last year when I graduated and my sister got me a pina colada to go with our Mexican meal.
-
I'm a weekend drinker ;D
-
I don't drink often. Usually I'll drink if I go out for hibachi, because I really like sake and plum wine. And I'll have wine with dinner occasionally, but it's very rare.
-
I enjoy a drink every once in a while.
I've never been drunk though.
-
I drink every once in a while... white wine and red wine, no beer at all thought.
-
I used to drink very heavily, but luckily i quit about 7 years ago (before hurting anyone else or getting arrested). About 6 months ago I started drinking a little bit. I still have a taste for it, but I don't like to get drunk like before, it's kind of wierd. When I start to feel a little drunk i stop or slow down now--before i would keep going til blackout or passout. I also will not drive after drinking, and I don't drink when we go out to dinner (way too expensive, and with my wife and child, i wouldn't want to have to take a cab home because "dad drank too much"). I think the long break was what i needed, i have matured a lot and now in my mid 30's i can just have a drink or two (or none at all) and still have a great time.
-
No, but the way things go sometime some people may think about it. we had a shooting the weekend and guy walked up and shot his ex s in the head, in front of her mom and small kids, today the schools has been locked down due to threats being made, we really need to stop the violence, it helps no one
-
No, I do not drink
-
i drink very occasionally, i don't get much out of it quite honestly
-
If you have a problem with drinking then don't. I drink mostly when I get bored. Everyone I know drinks everyday. :D :D I get bored with that also. I drink when I want to.
-
No I don't drink. I used to. My d/h still does. He's an alcoholic. He goes to work everyday (thank you God} but there is
not a time when he is not drinking. It's a terrible way to be. Its a horrible life to live. And it runs over to us his family dramatically. We live with secrets and shame and sometimes on pin needles. There is no physical abuse problems but there is every other type of problem that a person can name. I won't go into more details but people, PLEASE don't drink. Alcohol is evil. If you don't drink, please don't start, you may not be able to start. I wish there were more info out there about this!
-
I used to drink a lot. Now, I'll have a drink every once in a while.
-
congrats aggie49... ive wanted to quit but with all the stress in my life.... the only thing that keeps me calm would be a nice glass of wine
-
I have never drank the only thing I drink is a soda with caffeine in it that is as strong as I go.
-
Nope, since I'm only about to turn 19.
-
I like to drink a glass of wine once in a while in the evening. It helps me relax! I will drink beer if we are camping which is about once a year.
-
I drink occasionally. If I'm out with my friends, or at an event I will more than likely have a drink.
-
I drink probably once a week... beer, cocktails and such. :thumbsup:
-
I drink on occassion but not very regularly. Maybe 1 every six months or so
-
I drink maybe if there is a special occasion. On average, I drink about 2-3 times a year and have never been drunk a day in my life.
-
I have a very low tolerance and don't like the feeling. I like the taste of some drinks, but don't like to spend the money for it. For New Year's I'll get some Baletori. Sometimes for special occasions I might get something... I'll have something at a party, if I'm not driving, but most people think I don't drink at all because I was usually on my own.
-
eh i don't like drinking....maybe once in a while i'll have a midori sour or something of that sort but anything else i just can't
-
Occasionally - I always thought my dad was crazy - he said he didn't like the taste of alcohol. Now that I am an "older adult" I have to agree with him. There are only a few flavors that are good enough to drink on a regular basis.
-
I am going on 40 and have NEVER had a drink.
It is not because I am against it, it is because alcoholism runs in my family.
That is a road I do not want to get near, let alone go down.
As far as everyone else I think is fine as long as they know their limit.
-
Well I used to when my fiance and I first started dating 6 years ago but now I'm a Mommy and it just doesn't have the same appeal, I always have a fear of having a hangover the next day, I hate those!
-
I have a little wine here and there.
-
i was introduced to alcohol at a very eage and because of this i dont drink.
-
i have not drank in over 10 years and now if i want to i do not
I drink....and I must say It has never been, and (HOPE) never will a difficult thing for me. But, to each their own because, drinkers drink to hide, push away, ans/or forget.....not problems but, whom and what they are...or are not. It could be not strong enough (to leave or to quit), or brave enough to go on. Somewhere along those lines, there is a reason why people drink.
-
I do not drink and it is so hard for me to sit with people are drinking.
-
sometimes I feel like have a glass of drink.
-
I've probably had a few drinks over the course of my life, but I can't say it's incredibly pleasant. It doesn't taste very good, either. ???
-
u know i drink. love apple martinis :D
-
Once in a while when I feel like it.
-
NO I DO NOT DRINK.
