Anybody NOT a drinker?

[mommaU4]

I have a confession to make. I don't drink alcohol at all. Not even wine with a meal or a beer with friends or something fun and fruity while on vacation. It's not a moral issue so don't applaud my will power or anything. I just don't like the taste!

I've tried to like it. Imagine my disappointment when I finally turned 21 and was able to legally drink and order various drinks whenever we went out only to not like any of them. In Cancun on vacation with DH they had these fun fruity looking drinks with umbrellas and other decorations in them and I couldn't wait to try one. When I did, it was terrible.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. In high school my mom asked if I drank. I said "no mom, I've tried and tried to become a drinker but I just can't!" True story. I don't even like the champagne at weddings.

Am I lucky? Or weird? Or just drinking the wrong things? Maybe I need some really good drink suggestions.

I don't drink either, just don't care for it.
I'm a huge disappointment to my heavy drinking, Irish family.

I don't drink anymore. I lost the taste for it when I was pregnant 11 years ago, and just never got it back.

 

[phorsenuf]

I don't drink either. I used to but I have found since I developed anxiety attacks it a very bad mix! LOL

Everyone loves me though because I'm always a designated driver! LOL

OMG!! I'm not alone! I don't drink tea or coffee either. Ever! My friends in the summer love to get those chilled mocha latte things or whatever they're called and I hate those. In the morning when everyone else is drinking coffee I've got my Diet Pepsi. Not that that's healthier, I just never liked coffee.

 

[Meriweather]

I don't...another that just doesn't care for it.
I don't drink coffee either, but I do drink tea

 

[florida-again]

I don't!!!

For a really weird reason too....alcohol seems to go straight through me!

So if I drink I spend the entire night queuing for the bathroom. Totally not worth it for me! They say however much you drink, you gotta pee out double! I think its more though!

Embarassing but true!

 

[Jennifer S]

At least I can say I don't drink coffee or tea either. Now for the other

 

[eclectics]

No booze for me either!

I don't drink alcohol.

Used to, a bit. But I've been blessed (cursed?) with an alcohol dehydrogenase deficiency, a common enzyme defect in Asians, that renders us unable to metabolize ethanol.

That means that we just get sick from the alcohol, before we get a buzz.

It's like an internal Antabuse reaction.

Anyway, DH used to drink on occasion. He quit when our DD completed the DARE program at school, and asked us if we were being hypocritical by telling HER not to drink, while we did so ourselves.

But we DO drink coffee!!!

I don't care for the taste, so I don't drink. I was at a black tie event in NY for work and my boss offered to pour me red or white. When I declined he said,"Whatsa matter, you have a drinking problem?" Because in his world THAT would be the ONLY reason one wouldn't drink.

 

[SplshMtn99]

I don't drink. I don't care for the taste.

On RARE occasion, I'll ask for a MaiTai at the chinese restaurant, but I ask them to make it VERY VERY VERY WEAK. It still comes to strong, I take a few sips, & DH finishes it for me.

At Christmas, I'll have a few sips of Austi Spumonte as a toast. Again, DH or my dad will finish my glass.

 

[tmt martins]

None here either .don't like the taste or the cost of not remembering ( The GREAT time) you spent your money on.
By the way I only drike reg.pepsi,coke ,water and once in a while a vil milkshake from McD's

So in that sence ya maybe alittle weird.

 

[Rajah]

I can taste alcohol in almost anything it's in, and it ruins the flavor of anything for me.

I *love* things like pina coladas, but only when they're virgin.

 

[wdwgirl03]

I don't...but then again I am only 20. I'll be turning 21 in March, and even when I will be legal I just don't see myself drinking. I must be the only college kid on the face of the planet who doesn't drink...eh, so be it...it's just not my thing.

I think you are right with that. My 2 kids in college are soaks. I told them, I am going to ring their necks, dry them out and send them to AA. Never in my entire life did I ever drink like those 2. My husband either. If I drink it, the effect for me is istant depression, my husband's personality turns mean. So we never drank or went to bars when our kids were growing up. We still don't. I'm starting to make them pay some of their own bills, if they think they can spend all that money going to bars.

No, I'm not a drinker. Haven't had a drop in about 15 years. I did enough drinking in college 20 years ago to last a lifetime, probably more than the average person drinks in a lifetime!
