More power to anybody who drinks, but I usually choose not to. I get criticized all the time about my choice in being straight edge. Okay, some could understand that I don't want to smoke or do drugs, and believe me, they agree with me on those, but some of my peers don't respect the fact that I don't drink at all. Some even find it surprising when I have mentioned that I never actually had a drink in my life. Never really wanted to either. Only thing closest to me having a drink was taking a sip of when I was a little kid, but I was curious. What is this so called "social rule" that applies to alcohol? I turned 21 last month, and rejected alcohol everytime someone tried offering me. Like when I went to an Indian casino, my sister offered to by me a drink. I refused. Same with the following day, at a birthday party, my cousin, my uncles, and others were saying "Serve a shot for him" or "Want a beer?" and I rejected. Some tell me to not knock it until I try it, but I don't want to try.
