Anyone here who lives their life free of alcohol?

I drink everyday because i'm cool and thats what cool people do. If you want to be cool like me, you'll drink everyday and rock and roll all night.

:drinker:

I don't mind a little here and there but thats all anyone does here. I try to hang out with people and do other things but it always leads to drinking. Sometimes i'll just sit there and drink water but its sooo boring for me and everyone give me crap for it. I only have 3 friends and they all want to drink all the time.

I am sorry to hear that. It can be hard when everyone around drinks. Most of my friends don't often drink but I know plenty who do and I am pretty up front about it. We have a lot of drive through traffic where I live because of vineyards and wineries. So its kind of odd when your asked what you like and not have a clue.

I don't drink anymore I have not in almost 4years. I cant stand it, and when people drink and get drunk around me I glad i dont. I always think I use to look and act like that? forget it.

don't drink I just never picked up the habit

how much do you have to drink for it to be considered drinking? cuz i mean, i'll drink a winecooler or beer occasionally, but just because it tastes good. not because it's alcoholic, and i've never drunk enough to actually feel the effects.

Never drink. My grandmother gave us whiskey and honey for a fever when I was very young and that cured me of never wanting to taste it again EVER! I can still remember the smell and taste YUK. Had a few alcoholics in the family that ruined every family gathering so another reason to not take on that damaging habit.

My average is 3-4 drinks a year.

I've been trying to stop, but everyone I know drinks, and everything they do centers around drinking. I'm going sailing with my best friend on Saturday and all he wants to do is sail over to a bar and get fu*ked up. There's going to be several guys and they're all flapping their wings about getting wasted and picking up women. You don't even know the stories I'm dreaming up to get out of this. I mean, I'm not 20 anymore. Its ridiculous. I hate it. I mean, I love having a good time, but I'm questioning why a good time means we need to get ripped out of our minds. Alcohol is truly beginning to bore me. I like two have a glass of wine or two n the evenings. It just takes the edge of my weary mind. But, the adolescent idea of getting hammered all the time is getting really old.

i have drank twice in 7 years. im on seizure meds and in order for me to prepare to switch to less harmful meds for before conceiving my son, i couldnt drink at all or of course during pregnancy, and since it had already been 4 years it didnt even matter anymore. i drank at my friends bday party last year, and i might have a drink this year, but mainly no. i dont find it fun anymore like i did when i was clubbing and going out with friends 4-5 times a week.

I don't drink now…tried it but it didn't work for me. Like many here my dad drank too much all the time when I was growing up. He quit about 30 years ago. After he got sober it took a long time for us to build a relationship -- but we did. He's 80 years old now and has started drinking again. I just asked him to stop. I hope he does. I hate alcohol.

Get new friends?

I didn't realize how many people have had problems with drinking in their past and present.. here. Congrats to all of you who have quit drinking, whether its been a few days, weeks, months or years! And now you're here, getting even healthier yet! I'm proud of you all.

Yea this. I actually do drink and enjoy it, but have cut back since college. In college I drank with the intention of getting ****ed up, but I was in a sorority and we had several members who did not drink for various reasons. When we went out to bars they didn't come, but we always tried to balance it with movie nights or going bowling, pool days, etc. it was important to show that alcohol is not what bound us and we could all have fun without it. Although I will say I was closer with the girls who did get drunk with me, and the ones who didn't had a stronger bond with each other. But still if you are important to these people they will adjust their habits to spend Time with you. If you aren't then find people who you are important to.

I NEVER EVER drink,booze is the lubrication to sin and debauchary. It is EVIL!! Not so much as a DROP of the devils sweat shall touch my lips!!!!!

I would LOVE a life with free alcohol!

Oh wait, I don't think that was the question...
