a friend of mine said I was strange for not caring about drinking

Ya so I was talking to an old friend of mine about how I'm turning 21 this Tues(sept 13th). Yep lucky 13th but anyways, she asked me if I'm going bar hopping.
I told her I'm not much of a drinker. The concept of drinking a lot and feeling like shit the next day doesn't really fase me much. She called me strange for not liking to drink. I know that I'm not strange for not liking to drink. Does anyone else dislike drinking?

I enjoy drinking, but not to the point I'm shitfaced. Some people just take drinking to far, especially when you become of age. How come once your old enough to drink people think you should bar hop and get so drunk you embarass yourself and feel like shit the next day? I'm turning 19 (legal drinking age in Canada) in November so I know how you feel. I'm going to go drinking but not with people who will try and get me to drink more than I feel like I should.

I hate drinking. My friend argues with me all the time about how
drinking is better than smoking. I don't argue back. I just sit
and watch him puke all over while I enjoy my high and listen to music.
That's better than winning an argument.

I don't like to drink to get drunk really, and I only drink about 1/5th of the time that my friends do. They're cool though so they understand. I do like to drink a FEW beers or shots spaced out over a few hours sometimes when I smoke, especially when everone else is super drunk. It make those times more fun.

I was an alcoholic, but never enjoyed drinking or really understood anything about it other than it's potential as an agent of self destruction and people think I'm pretty weird. My girlfriend grew up kind of sheltered and doesn't understand anything about any form of social drug use and people think she's kind of weird.
I live in a full-out college neighborhood and watch hundreds of kids walk around my streets dressed like whores and pimps hopping from bar to bar, party to party. They terrorize this neighborhood in my home town- destroying property, throwing garbage around, keeping the working class awake all hours, smashing bottles, and laughing all the while. They destroy their apartments because it's not as if they've earned the money they're paying for them with and this leads the landlords to expect this behavior so they don't bother to fix up the shambles that are left every June, leaving this area a disgusting joke. My house has fire damage from the people next door starting bonfires which no authority will respond to because of the commoness of this shit. If the police are called and a party is broken up, it obvious that the non-student is the rat and it quickly retaliated against. Cars are keyed, windows are broken... All because of alcohol...
</rant>
I've yet to lose my temper over such things, I just direct it all towards my feelings toward the power of booze. It's of course not that bad all the time. That is just a sampling of what I've been seeing in the past two years. Man... I'm really pissed off right now. Sorry to jack the thread.

No it's all good. You gave good reasons for me not to even care about drinking ehh not that I really did care about drinking at all.

Everyone enjoys different things. I, for one, never cared much for marijuana even when I did smoke it ocassionaly. And I haven't touched it in years now. Many people on this site think I am strange bacause of this.
If you don't like alcohol theres nothing strange about that.

Irresponsible, asshole people are your problem, not fricking alcohol. I come to these forums to get away from the whole "blame the drug not the person mentality". I'm a responsible drug user. In the list of drugs I use alcohol is one of them. At no point during my alcohol use do I disrespect people or property.

I'm not much of a drinker, and when I do, I try not to get drunk...just ride out that buzz. And yes, people think it is strange I do "drugs" but won't drink alcohol. Ignore em.

I'm not much of a drinker, myself. I mean, I'll have the occasional beers/shots...but nothing to the extreme. For some reason I get hangovers so bad, so drinking is not my game.
I prefer to sit back, and just toke on a bowl and listen to some music.

It just depends on the mood really, sometimes I feel like just having a few beers and sometimes I feel like having more but you arent wierd for not drinking.

Alcohol is evil, straight up. I go out and get drunk once in awhile but alcohol by itself makes me someone I don't like to be. Throwing in a bowl between say every three-four beers makes it a much better time for me. Yet I'll still drink it even though I know it's not good for me..that's why it's evil, lol.

So true....
I hate drinking as well.. I really don't like the taste of alcohol, and I especially hate hangovers.

I used to drink about 5 nights a week, when I was going to school no less. Now that I drink maybe 1-2 times a month, and see my friends that still drink like this, it makes me dislike what alcohol can do to people in general. Try staying the sober one in your group of drunk friends, you learn things.
