Right then, I've taken like a year out of TSR and just come back and had to post a reply here...
I've never drunk in my life. I have just finished my final year (of 4 years) at uni and still never drunk. Several reasons:
1) It's ridiculously expensive... (I'm one who has just spent 30p on toothpaste) I can go out on a night out with £10 and come back with change yet my friends would go out with £50 and not remember how they spent it. What a waste of £50 lets be honest.
2) Why would you want to make yourself ill (And paying all that money to do it) the headache, the dizziness, the memory loss, the injuries, the lost mobile phone, whatever else comes with a hangover. oh btw, its called dehydration so erm...drink some water. ( I have also felt the headaches and fuzziness in the morning but obviously can't class it as a hangover you would say)
3) If you can't remember it, how can you possibly say it was a good night. Anything could have happened, thank-fully you have some (just as drunk) trusty friends to keep you out of trouble.
4) It tastes horrible. Vodka tastes like bleach! (This was an accident when I had a lemonade in my hand and holding a friends Vodka and lemonade in the other while they went to the toilet...it quickly ended up being spat on the floor). I've smelt a lot of drinks over the years and trained my nose into which are which and yes, ill be honest, theres some nice ones out there. But for my own morals, I will just not drink it.
5) I don't like the feeling of being out of control.
6) I will stand by my morals and what I honestly believe in.
7) FACT!!!! Being drunk is to the most part, psychological!!!! I have been asked countless times "Are you drunk?" from people who know I am completely tee total. well the answer is clearly no ofc. It is about the environment/atmosphere and the great friends you are with and your mood to have a good time/ let of some steam as you may say. I have seen people go from completely wasted in the club to fairly sober on the walk home/ after the early morning Asda visit/ when talking to people outside/ a situation arises like something silly as "wheres my phone", "where has so and so got to", "we need to wait for whoever".
And before you all start judging me... I AM CERTAINLY NOT!! ANTISOCIAL. In both my second years I was out twice a week, and mostly every week in my final year (gotta love free entry for being in my sports team). And I'd have the greatest time time ever! but ofc, you drinkers wont believe me. I'd also be that trusty friend who gotta everyone home at night (I refused to take a taxi when I had a car and free car park). I would never discourage anyone from drunking, I'd actually encourage it. I was never pressured into drinking it and I do not feel like I have missed out on any of my uni experience. Because guess what guys? If they're actually your friends and human beings then theyre not going force you. Just ask for reasons and say fair enough.
I am living proof that you don't need to be drunk to have a good time, if you want a good time then you will. If you go in thinking, I am not drunk enough for this then you are not going to have a good time.
Hope this has answered your question
