Any non-drinkers between 25 and 35 there?

It should be said that it IS possible to drink responsibly and for it NOT to ruin your life. Some people would have you believe that drinking is almost always a DISASTER and maybe for them it is... who knows??

To me it's all about discipline and moderation. If you don't have discipline and cannot moderate... yeah... best not drink. If you do and can.... enjoy :drinker:

I'm not really a drinker, never been drunk and I'm 31. Why, well my dad was a firefighter for 30 years, saw a lot of bad crap. He was chief of a large volunteer company. There were times when I would be out with him, and he would get called out on a call. One time in particular he responsed to an accident where a drunk driver hit two women head on. One badly injured, tje other, 6 months pregnant he killed. Both 20s or so. I was on this call with him, sitting in his truck. When they went to extracate the deceased woman,; the guys were pulling her body out, and her right arm literally fell off I'm one of the guys hands. Never something I will forget. Also, I had a cousin killed by a drunk driver, she hit him on his way to purpose to his g/f and lastly my grandparents were hit but luckily not killed by a drunk driver when out on their motorcycle.

Am I against drinking, Nah. Just never got into it. That being said, I turned 31 in Wednesday. Saturday I went out with friends to celebrate (or loath getting older lol) and did have a few, and got a buzz from it. Totally felt like **** the next day too. But it was a fun night.

These horror stories of people dying in road accidents, arms falling off etc. are awful and tragic... but also a tad silly when it comes to reasons NOT to drink.

Hell.... people cause car accidents texting on their mobile phone while driving.... are you going to stop using mobile phones as well because some idiot mis-uses them in a car??? People shooting people isn't stopping half of all Americans owning guns!!

The problem isn't drinking.... the problem is drinking and DRIVING.

Anyway... I'm starting to sound like an advocate for the alcohol industry so I'll shut up now.

Yes, fully unloaded Desert Eagle. Proper permits had and insured for a photo shoot as well as cleared by the Sheriff's Department before anyone asks.

On the roof of the Salton Sea Yacht Club looking west... Well, of course before it was renovated and became the history museum.

I am 27 and I was in a bad car accident 8 months ago because of drinking. I since have stopped drinking, see a counceler and am working on straightening my life out. My bf still drinks and it can be really tough. Just out of curosity is there any body thats mid 20s to mid 30s that do not drink at all and why??


Edit>>>I appreciate everyones responses...I guess I should of thrown in there I do love drinking and I miss it daily. Its been very hard for me to give it up but I know I have to. Being around my bf and anyone for that matter that drinks makes it even harder. I like the way it tastes and I am not religious. I just need to quit because of the severity of the wreck and the fact the it was a problem for me. Please keep responding!!

By drinker do you mean someone who drinks every weekend or someone who drinks maybe once a year?


I have maybe once a year. Special occasions. Maybe just a drink but that's it. I'm not a huge fan of it I guess.

I dont like drinking really, I might have one bottle of dark/real ale once every few months but can easily live without it.

Oh honey. I am so sorry about the accident. You are an amazing and strong person to overcome this difficult time. You will pull thru this, stronger than ever before. Don't give up on what you believe is right.

I do drink, but I have seen what it can do to a family first hand. I worked at a treatment facility for four years so I know what damage it can cause a family. Therefore I drink maybe once. Month, and get "plastered" about twice a year.

Stay true to yourself. Don't ever lose sight of that.
