Most people like to drink, but personally, I hate the taste of wine, beer, all that stuff. I'm a 20 year old guy, and I literally don't know anyone who feels the same as me. I think a lot of people say they like to drink because they think it's 'cool,' and get used to the taste. But I don't have an inclination to even want to try and acquire the taste. Is that weird, or do some people just not like it....? My friends think I'm all uptight since I don't like to drink, but I'm really not.....

Congratulations on being yourself. That is a very good thing to be. Why do your friends think that you are uptight? I think they feel that way because they can not or do not want to have fun without alcohol. You do not need this to have fun and be yourself. I applaud you. It is not easy to be yourself, I know I used to be married into a family that used to get mad at me because I would not drink with them. And if I had fun with them while they were drinking they would accuse me of laughing at them not with them. I had a no win situation. I did not change I kept my standard. It made raising my kids without too much influence alot easier. Not perfdect as the other half had an alcohol problem as did most of his family.Be proud be strong be an Individual we need more 20 year old young men like you. thank You for the hope.

No it's not weird, some folks just don't like the taste or the feeling they get when they drink alcohol. Go with your gut feeling and stick to your convictions. There are lots of us out here who don't drink! As for your friends, they'll support you if you explain to them that you just don't like it, if they don't it sounds like they are the uptight ones. Who knows you may change your mind down the line and try a glass of wine with a dinner but if you don't, that is totally your decision. Be proud of yourself for sticking to what you believe in.

Just because you dont drink it doesnt means that you are weird, you should thank your self that you dont drink.
Weird is when you see somebody who is drunk. Alcohol is one of the main reason why people die, while driving or creating a fight, ect. alcohol drives us in to stupid things, things that are not right, our brain becomes slow, like stupid or dumb.
Now Wine is not in the same average of alcohol, Wine is less % of alcohol, is not actually bad, but of course it can make you drunk but only if you drink fast and a lot. Drink Wine with responsability, take care of your self not to drink too much or you will hurt your self by getting drunk.
Most people use alcohol to have fun, forget stuffs like trouble at home or when a girl friend or a boyfriend breaks up. There are a lot of reason why people drink alcohol, and they end up drunk doing stupid things.
If you are gonna drink make sure you drink with somebody that you really know and trust.

My girlfriend doesnt drink either. She has tried some, most she didnt like some she did .. but she never got a taste for it. She hasent ever gotten "drunk" she just doesnt want to and that is way cool.
People tend to think youre an uptight prude because youre not having as much fun as them.. whatever sure .. uh huh.. ya.
There are times myself that I dont want to drink, I like to on occasion.. but its not very often that I actually do. Ive tried almost everything and there is not much that tastes really good.
Youre not alone.. there are still sober people ! LOL

Okay i come the same situation, i don't like to drink at all, in fact i've never tasted it (came close ) but just the smell of it sends my stomach lurching, if i can't stand the smell at all then i DO NOT want to drink it. No it is not weird that you do not want alcohol, you have your tastes and want to go by them, it's like if you like to eat vanilla ice cream with ketchup as a topping (which sum ppl do ick), not a load of ppl are gonna do that, and think that u r weird that u do eat that, buh don't let them bother u, because it's you and u do what u feel what is right. At least ur helping your liver a whole bunch ^_^

Hey Mountainiron 06,
Yes, you are a freak.... No, many people don't like liquor. If you were Asian, chances are you are allergic. If when you wipe rubbing alcohol on your skin, if it gets very red, then you are allergic. If when you drink, if it burns going down and tastes like glass, you're allergic. If you are smaller in stature, or you have a very high metabolism (you're built like a cross country runner), your body probably rejects it because your body knows that you'll get drunk off of just one.
When your friends tell you they think that you are uptight, ask them who they would like to be driving them home when they're drunk?
Lastly, your own personal joke... When your friends are sitting around the bar on a Friday or Saturday night, crying in their drinks about how they never have any money, and are still paying rent, you'll be sitting at home, in your own house, watching your big screen TV, laughing all the way to the bank!!!
Please don't worry...........
............There is always Heroine !!!!

Wine, beer, and spirits are an acquired taste, but...
No you are not weird, if you don't want to drink and don't like to drink, don't. If your friends think you're uptight, find new friends. I drink everyday for a variety of reasons, and it is not 'cool'. Just be yourself man, drinking is not for everyone. Enjoy sobriety.

Yes and no. People dont drink alcohol for the taste. And as far as getting used to it.. well, while that goes for nearly every drink or food.. the side benefits of drinking outweigh the bad taste.
It does, however depend on your gag reflex and desire to party. You dont find a lotta alcholics at a D&D board, if you're inclined to the nerdy side of things. But the further you learn towards the social side of things.. hey, courage in a bottle. It has its uses. :)

Some people don't like chocolate. That's weird. But a lot of people don't like alcohol. It is an aquired taste. I had to work hard to aquire it. Washed beer down with a lot of pizza. Don't bother. Alcohol can cause you a lot of grief. At the very least it's a lot of empty calories you don't need.
