I've always been kinda shy, but is it ok if I dont party/drink? I've never been drunk, but the idea just doesn't sound appealing to me. Is there something wrong with me? Am I boring? I feel like I'm the only one not drinking/partying.

Not weird, just BOR-ing

You are SMART and very mature for your age! I did my fair share of drinking in my day and believe me, although I had some fun times with friends when I had just a few drinks, going overboard and getting drunk is NOT fun. Especially the day after when you can hardly move and your head hurts. Or, you spend the night puking your guts out into the toilet. Oh yeah, that's soooo much fun LOL
Nothing wrong with being a little shy and staying away from the drunks. You're better off going to college and getting a degree and doing something with your life, while everyone else is wasting their time.

No. That's not a good reason. Now, studying physics or something would qualify you for being weird.
Yahoo! Answers is global, and I wonder if any americans are going to be reading you question- they can't legally drink until 21. I'll bet you're a Brit.
There's probably a teetotalers group near you with whom you could hang out- go sit in pubs and order a round of cokes.
Me, I can't take a sip of ale, beer, and most wines without wincing at the flavour. Don't worry, not everyone can taste PTC either. ...Also, when everyone goes out pubbing at Uni, you might actually learn something by not having a sort-of continuous hangover (like a few people I won't mention by name).

You aren't weird at all. I was/am the same way. I just don't enjoy the crowds and I don't really find drinking all that fun. I am 26 now and I have only been out to bars about 4 times in my life. I never enjoy it, it's just not my thing.
I did notice that when I was 20 that there seemed to be a pressure to go out all the time, but you don't have to listen. If you aren't comfortable, don't go. Tell your friends you just don't enjoy it much but you would love to hang out with them at other times.
I used to feel like I was boring too, then if I did go out, I would just wonder why I bothered because I was miserable. I did that twice before I decided I wouldn't bother unless it was a special occasion. We just have more introverted personalities and that's all there is to it! :)

No, there is nothing at all wrong with this! I had no interest in it then, and neither did the majority of my friends. I was drunk for the first time at 28, and I was never one to "party til I fall down." I know plenty of people who even in their 20s, 30s, and 40s have no interest in "partying." We have tons of fun--even without.

Absolutely NOT, it just means that you have a good head on your shoulders!! Believe me, you don't really want to go their either. Being drunk and having a hang over isnt any fun. Been there, done that and it isnt for me either. If hubby and I go out or have friends over, I am always the DD because I cant even drink more than 2 drinks/beers. I just don't like the taste. It would be like sitting down and drinking 4,6,8 cokes....who wants to do that?

hi...it's so nice to hear someone like me.. no you aren't weird for not being interested in those things.. you are just mature. i was never interested in partying and drinking either, and i thought maybe something was wrong with me too, but i finally realized that, that is ok. drinking, and partying isn't the only way to have fun.

There is nothing wrong with you. You're just a different type of person. You're like me. I have tons of friends who like to party and drink. I just sit back and laugh. I know they think I'm a loser, but it really doesn't bother me. And it shouldn't bother you either.
One person's idea of fun is not the only idea.

Of course it's ok. Everyone is different. I love reading; I know lots of people who think it's a nerdy, antisocial thing to do, but I don't stop reading to 'fit in' because it's something I enjoy doing. You are who you are and you should never feel like you have to conform to the popular standard of the times. If you don't like drinking, don't. It's debilitating to your liver anyways, although a glass of wine a week can promote health. But seriously, do what makes you happy.

Nothing wrong with it at all! I'm 19 and I don't care for the partying and the drinking. I'm very content staying at home listening to Jazz and writing.
If people are pressuring you and calling you names, never compromise yourself! Enjoy being you for you. Remember you're not boring, to you they are boring.
