    I used to drink a lot when I was in my early 20's but we were always out at the bars and clubs. I have noticed once I hit 25 my drinking diminished and I couldn't really get drunk anymore lol

    So since I can't really get drunk, I find no point in drinking the excess cals, so I only have one or two when I do drink. And I usually have a couple on bowling nights (I really suck when completely sober for some reason lol) and maybe another day a week, not always but sometimes.

    i do have alcohol issues in my family with a few members, but I haven't had any issues with it, so I don't think it is bad to have every once in a while.

    I worry for the people who lives get altered by it, when that becomes a priority over everything else. Then I think it is too far, but I see nothing wrong with the occasional drink here and there.

    I pretty much hate beer, wine, champagne, and most liquors. I can drink a few foo-foo drinks here and there, but I'm a puker, so I don't indulge very often at all. Plus it makes you FAT...no Kelly Beer Belly here :)

    Me, but it's not really a choice. My stomach lacks an enzyme that metabolizes alcohol, so instead of getting a buzz, I get poisoned! I turn red, can hardly move a muscle, stomach gets upset and I feel like I'm dying, all within minutes of drinking.

    I miss drinking, tasting wines from a winery a friend of ours owns, and my yummy, summer, fruity drinks but it's not worth it. If there was a pill that would cause people to not have this enzyme, there would be no alcoholics. lol

    I had a few sips of champagne at my wedding, but I just don't understand the appeal of booze.

    On average, I have about one or two drinks a month. It's not my thing. I prefer water.

    ME! My last drink was five years ago. I drank an entire bottle of vodka. Had a roaring hangover the next day and never drank again. :P

    I didnt quit because of hangover... I quit cause I don't need it... I love a good party and can go without drinking...

    To those of you who choose not to drink, I respect your decision. To those of you who are alcoholics and have given it up -BRAVO! to you for changing your life positively.

    I personally choose to drink. I make my own beers and wines and enjoy them. It hasn't caused negative issues in my life and I will continue to do so.

    To those who have expressed intolerance - either way - sorry for you.
