Why do you don't use grammer?

Why, I'd imagine for much the same reason you don't 'use' spelling.

I started drinking at houst partys when I was 11.

I'm 21 now, drinking got boring. I save money, can still have a good time without the booze.

I'll probably start drinking again at some point, but I'm in no hurry to go back to the sauce.

One girl I know just wants to be 'different', I suppose... it's annoying when she tries to take the higher ground over it. She labelled herself as 'straightedge' once...
Another girl is Christian, though nowadays she'll have a couple of drinks... she just doesn't get wasted.
I didn't used to drink because my mum was a bit of an alchy, plus I guess I just wanted to be awkward and different. Then I got over it.

I just like having a clear mind, I think the Buddha had it right with the fifth moral precept: "Refrain from taking intoxicating substances which cloud the mind and cause carelessness." I just don't see it as at all necessary, ever.

Edit: I'm not saying that therefore I do it for a religious reason, I just think that that specific religious teaching sums up my attitude quite well.

I'm very self-reliant so I don't like the feeling of not being under control and at someone else's mercy really and the idea of being absolutely hammered isn't appealing. I just think drinking is best within limits.

I thought I was the only one.
Plus, it's got a lot of sugar in it, which is a no-no, for moi. :frown:

Never cared for it. Never had it. Prefer to spend money on other things, and drink other things (mmm, Ribena :biggrin:

)

Also, seen far too many people having bad experiences :s-smilie:

I don't like the whole "dunk" part of drinking.

I didn't notice the post you were quoting and can't be bothered to go back to find it but it's exactly the same for me, I don't see why people would want to lose some degree of control over their bodies. :confused:

I drink a little, but usually only for special occassions. And even then maybe just a small glass of wine.

I just don't much like the taste, and I really don't like the way it makes me feel. I can't stand being out of control, and I have seen my friends when they're drunk and I would hate to be in that situation.

So I am the designated driver, or the friend that makes sure they get home safely if they get themselves into that state (which they don't do so much now) and I really don't mind this job :yep:

Mostly, I just haven't found any alcohol that I like the taste of. Also, my mother was an alcoholic, so that kind of scares me a bit...

Well, I was branded a judgemental, control freak in another thread for not wanting to experiment with drugs. But, I'd rather that than have no control at all. I could imagine nothing worse than not knowing where I was, who I was with, or how to get home.

I actually saw that but didn't really want to get into it. I canot agree more, the idea of not being clear about anything like that for even a few seconds terrifies me.

I didn't bother reading that thread because I knew if I posted that would happen to me. I assume its full of people boasting about the drugs they've taken?

Anyone I know has always been moral reasons. They either don't like alcohol or don't like what it does to people. A guy I dated a few years back though was all strictly tee-total and ramming his morals down other people's throats, then went to uni and started drinking :rolleyes:

I don't drink much now though, got bored of it tbh.

I'm giving up alcohol :dontknow:

I hate what I become when I drink, and I have so so many regrets because of stuff I've done, that I would never ever do while sober, it's got me into some terrible situations and I hate the way I became reliant on it for a while :dry:

Personally I think I have to go teetotal now :nn:
