Hmm, you see, I am 18 (the legal age in Australia to buy liquor) and don\'t really like the stuff.
I hate anything thats really hard, like Scotch, Rum, Boubon etc and the only thing I drink are Vodka Cruisers.
If you don\'t know what they are, they are just Vodka pre mixes in flavours like Raspberry, Lemon, Lime, Watermelon etc and contain like 5% alcohol.
All my freinds laugh at me because thats all I drink, and I have never ever been fully drunk.
So do you think its normal? I dunno, I just dont really fancy the stuff. I mean, its damn expensive if you buy it from resturaunts or cafe\'s (nightclubs its dirt cheap).
I dunno, maybe I am weird...
What you think?
-
weirdo ;)
Whats wrong?..its the cause AND solution to all of lifes problems ;)
-
Dude I\'m 18 and I don\'t even drink...I like to stay in control thank you very much.
-
:laughing: Yeah your screwed in the head man. You should be banished from your country, and dropped on a remote island somewhere....
:rolleyes: Oh yeah your on a remote island....
I\'m just kiddin with ya! I don\'t think it\'s unnormal at all. I mean if you like to drink so be it. If you don\'t, congratulations(Your liver will thank you in the longrun) :D

When you\'re young you want to find out what alcohol is all about so you start drinking. Invariably you drink too much, and get drunk. That\'s ok as long as you\'re at a party or at home so you don\'t try to drive or operate a backhoe or something. Your judgement\'s imparied when you\'re drunk so you KEEP drinking. You figure, "this is cool, so if this much got me drunk, then more must be even better." Unfortunately it doesn\'t work that way, and you get sick. It takes experience to learn exactly how much alcohol it take to reach the optimal level of drunkeness, and when to stop drinking. Young people don\'t have the experience. You have to learn that there\'s always alcohol in your stomach that hasn\'t been processed yet, so you actually have to stop a little BEFORE the optimal point.
Eventually after a few years you realize that simply being drunk is not the greatest thing. Sure you might get drunk at the occasional party, but being drunk often sucks because you disappoint friends, turn off girls, waste money, look like an idiot, and maybe worse things. I\'m in my 30s and I rarely get drunk anymore. Just getting a buzz when I feel like it is fine.
So what I\'m saying is that you\'re actually ahead of your friends if they drink just to get drunk. You say you don\'t like alcohol, but I think that\'s because you haven\'t tried it prepared properly. People who drink straight liquor do it just to get hammered. That\'s dumb. You should find someone who knows how to make a proper cocktail and drink that to find out whether you like Scotch, Rum, Burbon, Vodka, etc. You will probably find that you don\'t hate it after all. Cocktails in most bars and clubs are awful because they use cheap ingredients or cheat you on the alcohol content.

Yeah I don\'t like drinking either, getting drunk and puking everywhere doesn\'t sound fun to me, but I\'m willing to have a couple drinks at a party to loosen up but nothing more
-
Well said CoredWeller.. Your in LA? Im only an hour away in San Bernardino, we should get drunk some time. ;)
-
Yes, it\'s normal.. I\'m 17 and I think drinking blows. It\'s ok once in a while though.. Like parties and such.. So you get to get drunk and hump all the girls. :nerd:
-
Screw what your friends think, they are just teasin ya anyways do what you wanna do, don\'t drink cuz they do.:eyemouth:
-
I dunno why, I just don\'t worship the stuff the same way everyone else does.
It does nothing for me, but I have to admit that I do like Vodka.
-
Its fine that you don\'t like alcohol. :)
-

I love that feeling thats what i was like at my new years party last year. Its cool just lie down on your sofa and look up at the light.
-
I hate beer, at least Australian beer anyway (I dont like bitter beer).
Crown (USA) and Bud (USA) is OK.
-
I have never liked the Smell of beer........I can drink wine coolers......have no prob with them.........
:hat:ScottyJ:hat:
-
There is absouletly nothing wrong with not drinking. I\'m 20. Me and my mates go drinking quite often but one of them has never touched alcohol in his life and it doesnt bother us. We dont pressure him into it, he has just as much fun as us anyway
-
Yeah I have a mate who doesn\'t touch alcohol. It must be a bit boring for him but he says not and he should know what he finds boring so thats cool. As long as he has a good time thats all that counts.
-
Alcohol tastes awful (the stronger the worse.)
But I drink every once in a while anyway.
I only like the taste of cider.

Amen to that. That\'s why I only (well, mostly) drink beer. Carlsberg r0x. :)
-
ahhhhw.... beer and zambuca :D
-
I\'m almost 20, and I barely drink at all. Alcohol just tastes like crap overall, especially beer which is just plain horrible. But actually, I will say that I do enjoy having a drink or two of the harder liquors from time to time. Maybe like twice a year. Heh...An odd boy I am, I am.
-
I guess u have not tasted the norwegian or danish beer yet Racer :) Denmark = Heaven
-
i drink maybe like 3-4 times a month but i dont get drunk everytime and stuff - hell i gotta use college for what its worth ya know
