Just curious about SVT's opinion on people who don't drink alcoholic beverages. Good, bad, indifferent?

I drank A LOT from 16-22 and these last two years (24 now) I only enjoy a beer or two socially, more then that I have no interest in.

Maybe its a phase I'm going through or just care about my health to much idk.

I find my myself drinking too much when I do drink nowadays and I turn into a real shithead.. I've decided to stop for a while, or drastically cut back. I never thought bad about those who don't drink, unless they looked down on my for drinking.

I don't drink at all. Simply cause I don't like the taste of alcohol.

I don't drink and honestly don't care to. Any alcohol has no good taste to me but I still hang out with friends who socially drink. Just turned 21 and haven't used my license for anything but to look cool.

nothing beats a good bbq and drinks on a weekend, just to go burn it off during the week.

Nothing odd about them. We all have reasons for why we do or do not partake in certain libations. Not my place to judge as long as they do not judge me.

I never have had and never will drink any alcohol. I have nothing against it and people that do drink, I just have never had any interest in trying it.

Edit - I guess I should clarify. When I was around 6 years old, we had a superbowl party at our house. I asked my dad where his drink was and he pointed to the counter with like, 4 other cups. I grabbed the first one, took a sip and spit it all out. That was the only time in my life I had tasted alcohol and the last time as well.

When you're the one who moderates you quickly realize how pathetic people who are 30+ and continue to get drunk are.

Interesting, I also had a similar experience and don't drink either.

I wish the people who voted that they had a bad opinion of non-drinkers would comment. I always love threads like this since SVT is a pretty good cross section of the opinions of people living in (mostly) the USA.

I'm a social drinker. And I keep it to jack Daniels and captain Morgan when I do. I drank beer in high school, but now I don't really like the taste of it. I someone doesn't want to drink alcoholic beverages, it wouldn't change how I thought of them.

I've mastered the art of catching a buzz and keeping it there. I know how to have fun without alcohol, but why start a fire with 2 sticks when the lighter's been invented?


I don't trust people that don't drink. EVERYONE has a bad habit, I like it to be visible.

As long as someone doesn't look at you funny because you drink and they don't, I'm ok with non drinkers.

Another social drinker here. I've always hated the taste of beer so I stick to morgan/cokes or vodka/redbulls. Even though I like both mixed drinks neither of them are ever something I just gotta have. If everyone one else is drinking I'll get one. I fit right in with people that choose not to drink as I firmly believe you can have just as great of a time without the need of booze although I will admit that holding a buzz is pretty damn fun.
