I've noticed when I go out or meet with an acquaintance I'm always offered a drink. If I don't accept the drink, I'm looked at like I'm weird or something's wrong with me. Sometimes I'll even get teased with comments like "Be a man" or "Live a little." As if drinking has to do with any of those 2 qualities. Also, I've been on dates and the minute I say I don't drink, the girl thinks I'm weird and is no longer interested. I think many people drink just to "fit in" not because they like it. I think is stupid and similar to sheep going off a cliff just because the one in front did so also. I've tried beer, wine, and other drinks but the taste is gross to me. Does anyone else think this is true? To me it seems like drinking rubbing alcohol. Plus, I see people acting stupid when they're drunk and getting DUI's. I don't see any positive side to drinking at all. If beer and wine tasted like Coke or 7UP then yeah, I would drink. Does anyone else think the same way or is it just me?

I totally agree with you.
You dont need to get drunk of have a drink just to have fun.
Im proud that you are able to stand for what you think and when they offer you are able to say no.
Usually people just give in and say " yeh..1 wont do much" or whatever.
Good on ya.
hope you stay this way to...its healthier also =].

Lots of people think that way, they are called teetotalers. Its okay if you don't like the taste, but not everyone that drinks is dumb. What is the positive side to drinking Coke or 7UP? Soft drinks rot your teeth, and they provide no nutritional value. Sodas are bad for you. However drinking a glass of wine or beer every day is proven to reduce heart disease. So, there is one benefit for you. Again its okay if you don't want to drink, but don't call people stupid that do enjoy it. Most people who drink do so responsibly.

I do think a lot of people drink to fit in, and yea it's stupid to be looked weird if u dont drink. but well society and humanity stink. i was interested by your comment saying if beer and wine tasted like coke or 7up then yea. well i'd recommend u to try mixing rum and coke, if u havent tried that one yet, its a great drink.

you do not ought to get inebriated once you drink. it is a very stupid reality. that's like putting forward you hate eating because you may get overweight and die in case you do it too a lot. you're an fool.
