Do you drink?!


Question: Why or why not? I've only had mostly sips of alcohol (I'm 24). I didn't go out for my 21st birthday to get drunk since I live in a strict Southern Baptist home, so I rarely drink in front of them. I have two older sisters who used to drink but they didn't do it at home or anything (before and after they were 21). I did have a few sips at college (lived in a dry, freshman dorm) when I was 19 or something and a sip of alcohol on a summer vacation last year. I look young, I didn't have an idea so I had to sip a drink from my sisters glasses, we tried some wine and champagne at a couple of places.

Oh I did settle down one night this summer with a night out with 4 drinking friendly male cousins and had about a 1/4 of a purple hooter shooter. It was really strong, lol.

I would probably drink more if I had more money and didn't live with my parents.

I am 28 will be 29 in December, I use to drink and a lot! Now I don't drink much at all, I go out about once a month and have a few. I think many people who drink over do it at lest when I go out the people I see either get drunk or they drink Coke/ water. I use to drink to relax and forget about problems but then I realized that all I was doing was wasting money, time and killing my liver. I am also from a strict Southern Baptist home so I never let anyone know or see me drinking, well family anyway. Some people just shouldn't drink, they have one and that leads to two then by the time their done they have had 8 or 10. I know, that's how I am and that's how most people I have seen out drinking drink. If one likes a glass of wine with a meal or a drink before or after dinner and will only drink one or two then that is OK. The thing is many people who drink don't just have one, they have 10.

no i am 13

yes im 14 and i love beer tequila and vodka i love to go drinking with hott boys and we always get drunk and start making out lots of fun :]

I drink, but not to excess

No.
1) It's way too much fun to be the sober one watching the drunk ones!
2) I have to be responsible because I'm a parent & never know when I need to be on "duty" so to speak.
3) I have B4 & learned my lessons.
4) Don't want to become an alcoholic

I use to drink A LOT, I would go out on the weekends and spend almost $100 a night. There is a lot of alcoholics in my family and I was worried that I was turning into one. In the last 3 months I have had 1 beer and 1 whiskey sour.I like pretty much "not drinking." It's a lot cheaper and no hangovers.

I used to drink. I experimented a bit in college and well into my 20's - but only occasionally. I got drunk quite a few times. I reached a point where it hit me that it never turned out as fun as I'd anticipated, and it always cost a lot of money. I would typically drink to get a buzz, and sometimes would get drunk. In either case I'd suffer in the morning. Often I embarassed myself with things I said or did when I was drinking. I think the last time I got drunk I was around 28 or 29. (I'm 38 now.) I'll have a glass of wine now and again (like a couple of times a year), but the allure of the alcohol is gone. It just was never what it was cracked up to be.

I'm a recovering alcoholic that didn't start drinking until I was a little over 21. It took me 5 years to hit rock bottom, and I continued to get drunk on occasion and have bad things happen as a result until last year.

You are not missing anything by not abusing alcohol. Blessings

i used to drink saying that i am only 18 i never drank before i was 18 i had a few days of heavy drinking after my birthday which was in may like you do and when i went to leeds festival in august this year but i don't really like drinking waste of money also it can become an addiction which ive seen a friend do long story but ill cut it short, our friend died of a drug overdose and we found him in his flat which affected us both hard but my friend harder and drank alot and now he has become quite dependent on it ruining his life, social life and finances, drink also brings out the worse in people

No,Im 10 almost 11

I did drink and go to bars and have fun in my early 20's. But then I got married and had kids. I grew up. I really don't drink any more - no desire to. I may have an eggnog with cap't morgan once a year. I don't miss it one bit. Drinking, passing or blacking out, puking -- don't miss it one bit!!

I drink with my hubby, we stay home all the time so having a drink every now and then is okay as long as it doesn't turn into an everyday thing

I have an occasional drink socially but dont get drunk. I hate that feeling the next day when you have drank to excess the night before.

I used to drink, and sometimes too heavily. I no longer drink on a regular basis. I will occasionally have a glass of wine.

If you are going to drink, don't do it to intentionally get drunk. Trust me, you don't need alcohol to have a good time.

hell ya when you work at a crapy job you gotta like my boss says you work fastfood you drink!

I drank at age 18 to 21 and did it because I thought it made me look older and cool. After getting drunk a couple of times I realized that this sick feeling was for the birds and there was no way I wanted to do it again. I had a beer of A mixed drink from then on. I have a towing business and see kids get killed and have helped the coroner carry dead kids and grown people to his wagon. The drinking kills a lot of people each year. Ive seen it ll. I only have A drink on a dinner or 1-2 beers at home when not driving. I have a lot more fun sober than I ever did with a buzzzzz.

I'm also 24 and I only drink socially or I'll have a glass of wine with dinner. I had my first drink at 18 at a friend's 21st brithday party.
That's about it. I'm not a drunkard because I don't think chicks who drink themselves stupid and start acting like complete drunk tramps are classy. Its certainly not my thing. I'm way too good for that.
