    I drink on occasion. I don't drink every day, but I enjoy drink with friends, after long week or during a long flight. I've limited my alcohol intake during my diet, but I still do and I still enjoy it occasionally. I don't drink beer because of carbs, but I enjoy good scotch or whiskey and some good aged Cabernet

    I used to drink 5 or 6 nights a week, back when I weighed 325 pounds. When I found out about my ex-wife's affair, and the breakup of our marriage, I decided being drunk and angry would be a bad combination. That was over 4 years and 110 pounds ago! At first, the quitting drinking was for her, a look at my changes kind of thing. Now it is totally for me. One beer in the last 4 years, and don't really miss it.

    I don't but that is a personal issue. My mother was a heavy drinker..I didn't want the "maybe" of becoming one too. I don't care what other people do as long as it does not hurt anyone else. Responsibility is the key...

    I've been tee-total for the last 6 months. I did like a drink, and will go back to enjoying a drink eventually I'd imagine, but for this year at least I'm completely booze free.

    I don't drink much. One...I'm an easy drunk...it doesn't take much. Two...I usually say **** I either don't mean or should've never repeated out loud...Three...it's expensive. When I drink, which is a few times a year, I go all out and it leaves me broke for a few weeks.

    So yeah, I try to stick with water cuz that's what I can afford.

    My boyfriend has been sober over 3 years. I don't drink nearly as much... this month I've cut it out entirely and lately have been considering sobriety as well. My father is an alcoholic, and I tend toward addiction as is.

    I don't drink often, and when I do it's rarely more than a glass or two of wine. I've just never seen the point of it. I don't like losing control and I don't think one needs to drink to have a good time. If they do, they have a problem, in my humble opinion.

    I don't drink at all. I was never a big drinker (too many alcoholics in my family that I've witnessed some pretty stupid behavior from in my life), so when I gave it up completely.. it was no big loss. I haven't had any in 2.5 years and I don't miss it at all. I actually find drunk people horribly obnoxious now.

    I have a glass of wine once or twice a year. Wine is pretty much safe in our house!

    I don't get the interest in rotten fruit and fermented hops. Tastes gross to me. I don't drink for the same reason i don't eat brussle sprouts. I think it tastes gross.

    Thankfully I have no desire for alcohol. Never have. Now if I could only lose my desire for sugary things I would have it made. :-)

    We all have our vices I guess. :-P

    I barely drink anymore. It's to the point where I end up scheduling when I'll be able to have a glass of wine.

    I've been on so many meds lately that suggest not drinking, I figure it's probably best to not drink all together until my body gets itself together (I'd rather not have my stomach start bleeding...).

    I couldn't do it. I need my booze to completely unwind. I'd be miserable if I wasn't allowed to drink ever again. >.<

    Do you enjoy eating pizza? What's the point of eating pizza? Because you like it, right?

    I drink beer because I enjoy the taste. I enjoy the taste of red wine, too. If I've got the calories available, I'll have a nice cold beer. Someone else might have a bowl of ice cream. Or a slice of pizza. We all have our indulgences, mine is a tasty beverage.

    67 days sober.

    I am a recovering alcoholic and it my goal, every day to put a sober head to bed every night.

    That being said, I don't judge anyone because they drink, I just know that I personally, can't handle it.

    my husband and i don't drink.

    do i have an occasional glass of wine, yes -- maybe once or twice a year.

    i haven't seen my husband have a lick of alcohol since we've been together, almost 6 years.

    my motto is, i'd rather eat my calories, not drink them :laugh:

    I don't drink and neither does my husband. Watching my dad stumble in the door every night for my entire childhood made me realize what a fool it can make of you.

    Agree! I watched alcohol destroy my family as I was growing up. My dad loved his alcohol more than his kids! I never really knew him. I drank a 1/2 glass of champagne once when I was 21 and got a splitting headache. Not a good memory. I've had one or two sips of wine in my life, but honestly, it doesn't do a thing for me. I can't even stand the taste (or smell) of booze in my food. And beer? Yuck! Drinking is just not for me.

    Congratulations, rushtogether!!! That's a wonderful victory! And from the looks of that special blessing in your arms, it looks like you've got a very good reason to stay sober! ;o)
