#5: I can drink to that!

[Kotone]

Before I turned 21, i was really uncomfortable being around people that drink. On my birthday, i had my first drink and it was pretty good. i've only had three drinks in my life. I've tried beer and daiquiris, but i haven't tried any wine yet.

 

[Hikamaru]

I hate alcohol, plus my nightmare of turning into an psycho whose mind absolutely takes over me and can't be easily tamed makes my hatred even more meaningful.

 

[Aether★]

I drink often, not in large quantities. I like beer a lot. One or two per day is good for me. Vodka from time to time, mostly with acquaintances, Wine and other types very rarely.

 

[esperance]

I absolutely abhor the idea of taking anything that influences my mental state. Plus, I've had a taste of the stuff before on like holidays and hated it, so I have no real desire to partake anytime in the near future. And that's not even considering it's illegal for me to have a bunch of alcohol anyway.

 

[maccrash]

wine is delicious but I've never been drunk. there's nothing stopping me, really, aside from my parents and the fact that I don't really have anywhere reliable to drink safely.

I used to drink heavily, well before I was of legal age, and on a regular basis. My parents never had any issues with me drinking, so it was often available. I was quick to developed a taste for alcohol, of any kind, and a lack of moderation while drinking it. Though it wasn't my poison of choice and I didn't go too far out of my way to get it, at the time I would certainly take part if there was any around.

Now? I don't drink at all. I'm not against anyone drinking around me or anything, but it's something I consciously stay away from.

I don't like to drink. My parents used to drink before I was born, and they had to take AA (don't know the actual meaning, but it's for alcoholics) to stop doing it. I can stand the idea of getting drunk either. This is going to sound crazy, but I'm terrified of the kind of person I would become if I ever became addicted or whatever. Plus, where I live with my parents, it'd be really hard for them. I also can't stand the taste of beer either, whether it be acloholic or not.

Bottom line is... I hate drinking. I also took the Dare program in school rather seriously as well, and it's left a huge impact on my way of thinking.

AA stands for Alcoholic's Anonymous, and it's a nationwide support group for people in any stage of recovery for alcoholism. It's helped many, many people and saved countless lives. It's good that your parents chose sobriety.

 

[Sheep]

I don't drink and have yet to try. Alcohol tends to put me off more often than not since my dad's.. somewhat of an alcoholic bleh.. so I'm quite happy this way and don't see that changing. Go water? Master race.......? Anyone??

 

[Sonata]

I don't drink as often as I used to. I was taking a shot or two in the mornings and then going out to parties just about every weekend. I haven't had anything in about 5 or 6 months now I think. It's almost starting to sound good again. Almost. A nice bottle of Jager is always my go to. Either that or some Fireball.

 

[Crunch Punch]

I don't drink often, but when I do it's always socially, and unfortunately I seem to always get more drunk that I plan to :l still trying to find my limits, I guess.

 

[Circuit]

My word, I'm actually astounded by threads like these. People seem to think drinking is some kind of curse that sucks you at even a drop of alcohol. Damn.

Yeah, I drink. Regularly when I can, always social, and always have a good time. It's really not hard to control yourself under the influence. Even not being able to remember last Friday, I stuck to my morals, or so it sounds.

Drinking alcohol on a regular basis in no way makes you an alcoholic. Abusing alcohol and going beyond your limits very often for the pure sake of doing so and not for enjoyment makes you an alcoholic. There is nothing wrong with having a few beers out with friends, enjoying rounds of shots or anything. Just stay responsible, and don't abuse alcohol, and nothing bad will happen.

 

[Nagi]

i never drink by myself, but socially i usually have some wine or beer. even then it's usually no more than three glasses or so though. i do really hate shots, and (probably because of that) have never been drunk. but it's not something i long to experience either. all i've heard are bad hangover stories, lol
but yeah, since it's just that - i think i drink about... twice a month? haha that's it. it's not that i think drinking is inherently bad - i just don't enjoy the taste of it that much, nor do i go out very often ( ´ ▽ ` )ゞ

 

[Sylphiel]

I don't get the chance to drink very often, mostly because I don't tend to hang out around people who drink and I don't ever think to buy any for myself (it always slips my mind whenever I go out to the store), but give me a chance to drink and I will. Not a whole lot, I'll drink to maybe get tipsy at the very most but once I feel it affecting me too much I'll stop. I know my limits. :>

Although it probably helps that I'm picky about the taste of alcohol and I don't tend to hit the stronger drinks for that reason. I far prefer milder drinks, a nice wine cooler or few; I think the fireball whiskey I had near the end of last year is the strongest I feel like going. :P And not because I'm worried about getting drunk or anything, I just don't like the taste of strong alcohol normally.

And I won't touch beer. I blame getting put off it at the age of six. No lie, my dad offered me a sip of beer when I was that young because I was whining about being thirsty (instead of, you know, taking two minutes to walk back home), and for whatever reason I took it even though I had the idea of "beer is bad to me" in my head already by then and it was the nastiest taste ever to six-year-old me and no thank you ever again.

My uncles and mum used to let me have little tastes of alcohol when I was younger, mostly because I was curious. Beer always tasted horrible, even until last August and I could barely drink it ever. But when you move to Germany, you suddenly find beer amazing haha. No word of a lie until I moved to Germany I hated beer, and now I can drink six bottles in an afternoon (no joke, this happened last Friday, don't ask - I don't remember lmao)

 

[gimmepie]

I very rarely drink and when I do it is never in excess. I am not going to be a pleasant person to be around if I don't feel in control of my actions and quite frankly I could easily become a danger to myself and others.

When I drink I prefer spirits and sweetness with Midori Illusions being my favourite alcoholic beverage. I've never drunk rum in itself, but I enjoy the taste mixed into fruit salad and intend to look into it at some point.

 

[Ice1]

I drink on a weekly basis. Mostly on friday and saturday nights, when I'm out and about. I like to have a beer or two when I'm at a birthday.

 

[blue]

I drink now and then, but more so on social occasions rather than casually.

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

I hardly ever drink. Course when I do drink, I make sure that if it is beer, it is light. My stomach cannot handle strong beer. Otherwise I tend to drink a Cuba Libre without lime (a.k.a. a Rum and Coke).

 

[Poké Bean]

Used to love me some Southern Comfort and Cider (not together!) but can't drink alcohol now due to ill health. Don't often miss it but sometimes I'll think ooh that'd go down nice!
