    Not a drinker. As a Diabetic and heart attack survivor, drinks and my meds are a no no. Plus I'd rather have Diet Dr Pepper!

    I'm 23 and everyone and their mother seems to be going to the bar all weekend long. (It's all I see on my FB posts on the weekend...) But I'm a mom and a wife and the bar scene just doesn't feel appropriate anymore. I also am wayyy to broke to drink regularly! I like a nice drink with dinner every once in a while, but with calorie counting I just don't now. I'd rather spend my calories on food :)

    You aren't alone! Never been a drinker and never will be, and I'm perfectly happy that way :) Not drinking is a great way to save both cash and calories (as well as humiliation and other things!)

    I'm sober 7 years, thank the Lord. That stuff almost killed me!
    And incidentally, as soon as i quit drinking, I lost 10 pounds right away. And I agree with the others on this thread, not being hung over is awesome.

    Haven't had a single drop of anything since last September and don't miss it a bit! And who needs all those extra calories anyway!!! So much easier to lose weight without it!

    I am a non-drinker. It can be hard at times since most people drink. Most people accept it if you dont drink though.

    i'm 34 yrs old, don't drink, and never really have. I usually have a few drinks at our company Christmas Party, but that's about all. So you are definitely not alone. I just have more important things in my life to focus on, like my family, as I'm sure do you.:smile:

    I don't drink for the most part. I might have a drink once or twice a year. And then I regret it. You're not alone. I actually haven't had a soft drink in a week! I'm pretty happy about that one too!

    I it makes you feel any better my work colleagues look at me like I;ve got two heads when I tell them I don't drink in the week or at the weekend unless we drink socially with friends. So many people say they "need" a drink after work but the thought of needing alcohol scares me and as I've got an alcoholic mother, I'll never be in need of a drink.

    So no you're not alone :)

    I agree. I quit drinking 7 years ago. It's hard to find friends who don't drink.

    Hubby and I are non-drinkers.
    We may have one drink per year really.
    Don't care for the taste of alcohol.
