Teenagers who don't drink :)

Hey I'm one of those rarities - a teenager who doesn't drink. I just don't like the taste of alcohol. Why do people generally consider it to be weird. Anyone the same? :smile:

Joining this club. :smile:

EDIT: Just like to say, if you drink, fine. If you don't drink, fine. It's up to you. Don't generalise every teenager who doesn't drink into the 'no-friends, anti-social, loner, pretentious, uneducated' group. :smile: That's all.

never drunk, don't intend to either! its personal choice.... i don't want a failed kidney before i graduate from med school.. if i do become a doctor i should set the example instead

fresh fruits and veggies yum yum :tongue:
I don't drink either and one of my new friends at uni asked me about it a while ago. When I told her I've never really drank, she was like "aww that's cute"... I find it a bit annoying when people say that haha but she didn't judge me or say it's weird. But I've known people younger than me who found it weird that I don't drink

10 year old kid in my school drinks whiskey.. :redface:
Each to their own, but looking down on people who do drink is just as bad as people looking down on you guys, plus makes you seem annoying/pretentious *cough heavyhandscott cough*

Oh god... Why am I not surprised though haha! I had a friend in the year below me at school who found it weird that I don't drink but she also said once that she "couldn't deal with being a virgin at 16"... I was like okay then..
me!!! :smile:

Yeah I think you have a point. I don't think it's pretentious if people don't want to drink cause they don't enjoy it :smile:

Nothing wrong with drinking occasionally, just don't make it a habit.

Not for everyone, and it's nowhere near as addictive as smoking.

Not necessarily depends on the individual. I drank a lot during freshers and stopped drinking completely just before my exams. You can control it, smoking however.....
