I drink on occasion, such as parties or when I'm bored or sad. Like normal drunks, I start off my days with a shot of something unless our house is dry, in which case I go about my day as a normal person and try to actually accomplish something. When I drink I throw caution to the wind and mix all the colors, I usually start with the more potent stuff and then move down the line until I'm intoxicated enough to not really notice what I'm drinking anymore and then you start making milkshakes with Patron Coffee and some Neapolitan ice cream and you wonder what life is because damn that ****'s the bomb.

When I first started drinking, I was really into it. Then I got too f'd up, had a few experiences, and toned it down a little. Started getting back into a little more out of boredom and stronger sense of self control, and then I fell in love with it even more after my lung surgery which doesn't let me smoke(even if I'm a dumbass and do it a little anyway). I don't smoke(like I used to) so I need something to help loosen me up a little lol. That being said, I still don't drink that often, just more than what I used to. And it's always socially. No fun getting drunk alone.
Though no Christian sects, save for those with 'a la cult' status, believe alcohol is evil/a sin to consume. It is no where listed in the CCC that it is wrong. It is a Protestant thing; Baptists, Pentecostals, and LDS mostly. Even then it is not wrong, it is just about moderation and not being drunk in public.
Let me be clear that I do not believe that drinking is a sin. The reason that my denomination doesn't believe in drinking is because Alcoholism and being Drunk is a sin, and it's simply best not to drink. Though Like you pointed out nowhere in the bible does it say that drinking is evil or that it is a sin to drink.

Though, the statement that you don't drink because you're Christian is a rather large generalization.
Yeah... I could have, and should have, been more specific instead of lumping all Christians together like I did.

Drinking is fun, but it just has never touched me like other things that can impair you. I've met a lot of alcoholics and with almost all of them there's been a situation where they were ****ed up and I had to be there for them and they've all been pretty sad eye opening moments. I feel like that is why I can't get myself to enjoy it like my friends do, but it's fun when I'm in the mood!

I'm 23 and have yet to try. Just.. no desire whatsoever. Maybe that comes from having an alcoholic father, I've already grown so tired of seeing and hearing about it. <_<;

I drink very sporadically. I'm not going to say never, cause that isn't true. But 95% of the time I will refuse a drink if offered one. I don't have a drinking problem or anything. I just never saw the point in it all. I hate people that drink to get drunk, and I don't want to be a hypocrite.

I can't stand the taste of alcohol.
Ew me neither
I rarely drink, but I don't drink because of the taste x_x
Liquors are all terrible, and beer is bitter

Probably like once a month

Something I never liked- people who are "proud" that they don't drink (unless obviously they overcame alcoholism...)

Something I also hate- people who act like hot stuff because they drink

I can relate with this tbh. What I did to help overcome the taste of the booze itself was to mix it with another drink such as cream soda or Dr. Pepper to name a few examples. Think something along the lines of a Cuba Libre aka Rum & Coke.
