Do I need to drink to be "cool"?

Question

Hi,

I'm just wondering, do I need to drink to be cool? If you say yes, I guess I'll just be uncool, but I was just wondering. I'm a total partier, just without the alcohol and drugs. :]

Thanks!

Answer 1

Nope. Cool does what cool wants - including take good care of your body. Losers do what other people try to make them do. C'mon what's cooler - a self confident person who does their own decision making or one who will do whatever they have to do to be 'accepted'.

Answer 2

NO! You do NOT need alcohol to be cool. I never drank all through college and yet always went out with the gang. No one gave me a hard time, I just drank soda rather than alcohol. Of course, I ended up being "mom" to the group and making sure all got home safely. Have a good time, don't drink! You'll be the only one who will rember WHY you had a good time!

You can be dumb like me, and start drinking at the age of 14. I thought I was cool. I screwed up my athletic career in High School, barely got my diploma. I have had 4 car wrecks, only one of them though, got me a DWI. I was lucky on the other three. I went to jail, was on probation, and nearly lost my life several times. All the pain I put myself through. I didn't start drinking to be cool, but I did start drinking at an early age. Drugs was next. I was an alcaholic, before I was 21. Three times in rehab. Basically, I screwed up my life. I'm 25 now, and I'm a recovering alcaholic. Sober since April 18th, 2004. I have never been happier, than to be sober. Some people think I'm cool. Kids look up to me. I work in retail, and everybody in town knows me. I would like to say, I am now a role model, to some, and maybe to others I don't know about. You don't have to drink to be cool. All you have to do, is be yourself. That is all I do. I think that is cool.

No, you don't need to drink to be "cool" .. drunks are the most uncool folks around.. watch them, they look and act stupid. If you can have a good time without drinking, you are miles ahead of the so called "cool" people.

you'll also feel better, and smell better the next day ...

Answer 5

No, you don't need to drink to be cool. As a matter of fact, a lot of people will admire you for being a partier without needing substances or drinks.

Answer 6

You do not need a drink to be cool. What is cool is you being your own man and not giving in to peer pressure. Don't worry what others think of you. You could also have a drink that does not have alcohol in it. Try having a Pepsi or something.

Answer 7

NO. In fact the opposite. It's "COOL" not to drink. You can be the designated driver. And when your friends wake up feeling all sick or hung-over, you'll feel like your on tip of the world. Your doing the right thing, don't be talked into being something you don't want to be.

Answer 8

I never go to parties where there is a lot of alcohol. However, I did go to one, once and a guy asked me why I didn't drink. I told him I didn't have to drink to have fun. He said, You'd have more fun if you did. But I don't see it that way. I don't think it is "cool" to drink; it leads to alcoholism. And there is no way on earth that I'd open myself up to that Pandora's Box.
I do sometimes cook with spirits.

Answer 9

No.. you don't need to drink to be cool. Heck half the people who drink and think it's cool, usually end up making a butt of themselves anyway.

Being who you are, and showing that confidence to people around you.. that is what makes anyone cool.
