Any non-drinkers between 25 and 35 there?

Yup. I personally don't like the taste of it. I can drink select alcohols in tiny amounts, but for the most part, I just can't. I also come from an alcoholic and substance abuse family. While none of my family is abusive, I still find it disgusting that they do this to themselves on a daily basis. I have a hard time letting my kids go to my parents house because neither of them will be sober (alcohol) to drive the kids to the hospital in an emergency, and they live in the middle of nowhere.

My husband used to be a big drinker before he got with me. But his was more social and since I don't really drink, he doesn't either. He does maybe once every 3 months or so, which I'm perfectly ok with, assuming we have the money. He doesn't generally drink alot at these times, but if he does drink, we both prefer harder liquors over beer. Neither of us can stand beer. That being said, I drink maybe once a year...and have only been "drunk" once. I didn't like the feeling.

I've never drank in my life. I don't drink because I am a Christian. In addition to my religious convictions, I've also seen so many people hurt as a a result (physically and emotionally). I have no desire to drink.

I weaned off drinking because I was always ending up the designated driver and I like eating more than I like drinking so the extra calories go to a healthy diet and not downed in a few seconds with drinks which are so high in sugar. My brain just wrapped around it somehow as I was a big drinker but now... not. Also my husband has become an alcaholic in the last 10 years so I guess that doesn't help either.

If you are feeling deprived put a drink in a nice wine glass to give it a bit more of a pick me up. Try mocktails and experimenting so you feel like you are still having some fun. Drinking is not the be all and end all. You can also laugh at those who do and have a clear head in the morning.

I'm 32 and I have never drank alcohol in my life. I am a christian but also my dad was an alcoholic and I have seen how it destroys families. It's never been a temptation and I want nothing to do with alcohol or drugs. My husband is 32 and he does not drink at all either. Actually most of our friends don't either.

I'm 32 and have never tasted alcohol and my husband is 37 and never tasted it either. We made a commitment when we were young not to drink (even though we did not know each other) Don't think it's wrong just found it to be an addiction that I did not want to get involved in and decided to make that covenant to God... Now that I am over 30 the thought has crossed my mind but I've heard this statement a few times "no good thing comes from alcohol" and I can think of nothing so I will stay in the dry and hope this will be a good testimony to friends and my kids that IT IS POSSIBLE! Cause so many people think that it is impossible.

I am 25 (26 in a month) and rarely ever drink. I'm a mom and I'm on a lot of medications which are both reasons to not drink, but I just don't really care much for it. Guess I got that phase out of my system years ago?

Wrong age bracket but I stopped drinking when I was 29. I did not like what it was doing to my life and didn't want to end up like the numerous alcoholics in my family. I wanted to raise my kids in a house where it wasn't normal to keep beer in the fridge, and I want them to grow up understanding that it's just as easy to NEVER start!

I'm an addict/alcoholic so I no longer drink as of two week ago! Doesn't lead to anywhere good for me plus if nothing else its a bunch of empty calories! I'm 24

I'm not at the age your asking but I've been sober 6 years this time

I'm 33 and havent had a drink in nearly 9 years. Been clean and sober since Feb 12 2004

Me!!! I've never been drunk ever. Ill be 33 next month. Alcohol hasn't touched my lips for 10+ years.

Me! I pretty much just don't drink, maybe once in a blue moon will have A beer or A shot, but that's it. And I'm a Bartender lol. I quit because my partying days are behind me and left my body trashed. I now have bad kidneys and even had dialysis. I now take medicine for the rest of my life for my kidneys and also blood pressure, have to watch my sodium, have to monitor my blood pressure. It's not fun and if I knew what I know now I would have slowed down a long time ago. I'm 27 btw.

I'm 28 and I don't drink. I got drunk once at 18, just to do it. Not my thing. Met my husband at 20, also a non-drinker. We would rather spend our money on other things that we enjoy(such as food!! lol) and our children.

I've had a 12 pack in the last four years, spread out over time. Last time I drank was about eight month's ago. I had one beer and I was really buzzed hard. I use to drink, nearly got a DUI one night (was arrested; went to jail for 5 minutes and released because I blew under at the station (long story). 2 of my best friends have 3 DUI's each, mandatory 60 day jail time in California, mandatory 30 day vehicle impound($$$) A fourth DUI will send you to prison (don't drop the soap alcoholic's) I've had numerous friends die in drinking/drug related vehicle crashes(don't believe in accidents) I've gone to jail because of things i've done while drinking(and while not drinking) which takes your freedom, your money and time spent of fighting cases. The funerals are the worse really. It's a reminder how quickly life can be taken. To see the anguish of family and friends, and the anguish you feel as well, for someone you cared about, spent time with, it's sad. I'm not against people who drink, but drinking and driving is stupid, and yes, I use to do it myself.

A taxi is so much cheaper than a DUI

Calling a friend to pick you up is better than getting your a**hole ripped apart in prison(it happens) for killing someone you didn't know in another vehicle, or your friend that was sitting next to you in your own vehicle(it happens)

Just remembered, one of my best friends mom's, sweeties little lady on earth, had some wine after work, driving home, a kid did a "pony hop" off the curb and went into the street and she hit him. If she hadn't been drinking, she wouldn't have been arrested. The kid died, and a lady in her mid 50's who had never been in trouble in her life was now on her way to prison for four years on a manslaughter charge. **** happens, it really does.
