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*

    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!

    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.

    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)).

    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.

    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!

    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..

    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!
