To those that don't drink alcohol...

odusgolp

I'm curious as to why (as there are plenty of good reasons, but I'm like an annoying Labrador puppy all up in your business...)

Ya know, strictly for weight loss, self control, health, daddy issues, you vomit uncontrollably...

I didn't start drinking until I was 25. I have much time to make up for...

All my friends in college loved me b/c I was DD. I wonder if that should hurt my feelings? *wink*

Msaip

I did it alot when I was younger and now I really am only a social drinker. And to boot im not that social lol. I might have one fruity drink when Im out but its maybe two or three times a month

I rarely drink alcohol. I'm not anti, per se. I simply never really liked the way it made me feel. Maybe I'm a control freak. I'd also much rather have dessert than a drink. I'll say "cheers" with a forkful of cake!

barbiex3

i just don't drink as much because I don't see the point of it. It's not like it tastes super amazing nor is the feeling of being drunk really amazing. I'd rather eat some brownies and smoke a cig. I mean I will still drink, but i honestly do not enjoy it.

Find it a waste of money and like sharon would rather have cake mmm cake

I didn't get married until I was 37 - which meant I spent 20+ years in the bar scene. It's not that exciting anymore (although I do enjoy a nice glass of wine or a cocktail now and again (in other words, every few months or so)).

Wisconsin is such a horrific binge drinking state... college ruined me *LOL*

(yes, i just blamed the state and college... I'm well aware)

I don't drink alcohol because I can't. I'm Korean and in some Asian genetics there is a deficiency that doesn't allow my body to properly process alcohol and it makes me very ill when I do. I don't know if there's an actual name for it but it can be known as Asian flush. Google it. So anyway, that's why I don't drink. It has nothing to do with weight loss or addiction or personal choice.

jesihovey

Too expensive, mainly...

melodyg

I very rarely drink alcohol, maybe once or twice a year. I never really grew up with it being a social thing, and now it is not good for either my wallet or waistline!

carrie145

I agree with barbiex3. I don't see the point, and I can't get past the bitterness...I had a few mixed drinks on my honeymoon because they were free, but I didn't like the taste at all..

MelissaL582

AnnaPixie

FinalOutrage

I don't drink because I'm not 21...yet.

odusgolp

I hate cake... and brownies... and love beer and wine. I'm doomed *LOL*

Hanna, that's totally interesting! Thanks for sharing, I'd never heard of that and love medical mysteries....

I think being broke is the best thing in the world for my diet - booze included hehe!

KayaSamantha

I've never liked the taste of any drink (alcoholic or not) besides water but I'm also allergic to alcohol and so it gives me hot flashes with hives pretty much as soon as i have a sip.

zaiikaa

I love drinking, but am not doing much of it at the moment because of money and calories.

leynak

It's just not something I crave I guess. Every now & then I'll drink a margarita if I'm out.

Although, when I was pregnant with my second daughter I craved beer like crazy! Of course, I didn't drink any but still it was weird since I am not a beer drinker at all. :laugh:

I hate the taste. I am a super taster (that means that I have super sensitive taste buds and therefore hate all pop, anything carbonated, any alcohol, and any form of tea). I have no idea why anyone would consume something with that many calories and that much sugar and carbs when it doesn't even taste that good.

TexasNurseMom78

I have many reasons. When I was younger I drank a lot so I think to "fun" of it is gone for me. I have no desire to get drunk and I do not want to spend money one alcohol when I could spend it on something else.

shelbym87

I drank a lot when I was younger. Like too young. I guess I got it all out of my system then. Ever since I had my son I just don't drink. I never made the choice just not interested really. Last few times I drank any alcohol socially I got a tummy ache

lalalazzz

I don't drink nearly as much now bc it's no fun at 6 am when you're hung over and have a 9 month old crawling up your back ready to be go climb the walls of your house. Also, I breastfeed so I hae to pump to drink bc I am anal and don't allow formula.

seal57

I don't drink cause I don't see the reason to drink......plus it's way to expensive.........Plus I hate the taste.............
