Best thing for you. You can just watch drunk people make a fool out of themselves; probably me :tongue:

I'm not a big fan of alocohol cos I don't really like the taste of most kinds I've tried.
I think I'm just going to socialise and maybe try a bit and see how I get on. Don't really want to be drunk, but don't think I want to go teetotal.

I dont drink.....i tend to have a little out of peer pressure, but i really dont have much! You get on fine without drinking, but i'm not going to pretend that not drinking doesnt give you a sort of social disadvantage. If you drink, you've got something to do with people....if you dont, it's a little harder to socialise!

I drink far too much - the total other end of the spectrum, but I don't hate people who don't drink, unless they give you lectures about it. It's like the people who moan at you when you smoke - we don't care, if you don't care. (although if you do care, we still don't care, but we do hate you. Funny ol' world, ain't it?)

I agree.

I don't mind being in the presence of drinkers because I know it won't affect me in any way. Smoking however, really annoys me.

Yes, I don't teetotal because it's against my principles or anything. I would very much like to drink sociably if only I liked the taste!

Drunkenness does three things:
makes people happy, angry, or depressed. The first is the only one I would consider sociable... I hate seeing people drunk out of their head and depressed or angry... they hit.. HARD.

Are there many people who go to Cambridge who are teetotal? The reason I ask is that I am teetotal and I am slightly concerned I will become a social reject when I go to Cambridge next year.

I don't drink. It's not been a cause for social rejection.

Or course, I'm a reclusive sociopath as well, so I tend to be a social reject anyway, but thats a separate issue. :biggrin:

I did teetotal for a term. It sucked. Mind you, this term has been excessive so far in terms of alcohol consumption, and that has caused many stupid things to happen as well :rolleyes:

Can't win.
