I don't drink. I have only tried a few things. Some were good and others weren't. I don't see the need for people to have parties where all they do is drink and hang out. I mean if you need alcohol just to have fun then where is the fun in that? Maybe it is just me. I mean if there is more to the party then yeah that is cool. BUT people just getting together to drink what is the fun in that? Bars, restaurants, weddings etc are different stories. Why can't some people just respect my wishes? I don't mind going to parties or out to eat where others drink. I just don't want the person I go with to get falling down drunk. I don't mind being a designated driver. Why can't people drink occasionally and NOT get drunk every time? Is any of that so wrong????? Comments PLEASE!!

It's my boyfriend who is the problem. A couple of months ago I went out with a friend and got drunk. It happened once and it was with jello shooters. I didn't know what they were LOL. anyway he won't let the fact that I did go. I paid for it later with a headache and throwing up. It wasn't fun and it was an accident. I don't want to do it again but every time we go out with friends and drinking is involved he wants to get drunk. I mean he doesn't drink often. I think in the two years we have been together he has gotten drunk 3-4 times. but I he says when you go somewhere and drink you might as well get drunk especially if you can't leave b/c he doesn't drink and drive and sometimes doesn't have a designated driver. to me that is retarded.

no mr. top contributor..i don't care if he drinks. I just don't understand why he has to get drunk every time when he does. and I WANT him to be more understanding about me. I think you should read the question more carefully. It is how he feels about me drinking. he wants me to drink. I don't want to. he keeps pushing me!!!!!

way to be!! stay strong with your beliefs. Personally, I think it is very stupid to go out and drink to get drunk, for one, its very unhealthy and besides the contrary, it does not make you look cool. Sure, some guys like a girl like that, but those you attract by being able to drink as much as them arent the type of guy you want to be in a relationship with. Drink because you enjoy the taste, and yeah, it's better if you dont get drunk...there's too many risks that go along with getting drunk, you're not only endangering yourself in that position. If people try to force you then they aren't the best friends in the world...your true friends will respect your viewpoints and wont try to force you into something you're uncomfortable with. also, people shouldnt need alcohol to have fun. be careful and i hope my advice helps!

So he only gets drunk every now and then. When he drinks, he drinks until he gets drunk, but he only does it every now and then, is this right? So your problem is that he doesn't do the "social drinking", just have one or two and then stop thing? It's either no drinks at all or get totally sloshed? I think you should just accept that he rather have a soft drink most of the time insted of pushing him to drink when he'd rather not. Some people are just "all or nothing" about some things, and it seems that you BF is that way about booze. If he has it under control enough that it's almost always the "nothing", then be happy with it.

I can't touch the stuff, because I'll get addicted, hooked, unable to stop, temptation WILL get the best of me there after and any other time that I don't want to drink, It's very addicting, last week my family and I were invited to my wife's cousins house to celebrate my daughter's birthday and I was offered wine coolers or other, but I had to decline, I have not had a drink for about two years now, but before that I was hooked on getting drunk almost every night for about 4 years, then before that I was sober since I got married (about 19 years) then before that, on and off for about 12 years, right now I'm 2 years clean and I'd rather not even touch the stuff, not even just a glass.

Moderation in everything is the key to a full and happy life. Aristotle warned against vices of excess and deficiency. Aim for virtue, i.e. moderation. Make your friends who would argue read Aristotle's Ethics. That'll shut them up. Good luck. :)

It is fine if you don't drink there are many people that don't.
If your friends are pressuring you to do it or don't respect the fact that you don't drink then i would just stay away from them.
