    Erm yes. Every now and then. I tend to say I'm not going to have a bunch, but then I have a drink and I forget all about it.

    Maybe like once a month. I never ever get drunk though. I may have a beer or two, maybe a mojito, and that's it.

    I'm not much of a drinker. Until a year or 2 ago I didn't drink anything, except at the occasional party or get together (maybe every 2 months).

    I don't like to be drunk (3-4 drinks in a single sitting or about one per hour is my preferred cut-off), but it happened more than I would have liked this summer. I'm still learning to tell my friends no.

    Yup, but I rarely get drunk. I drink mostly wine though and I love it. I got into it in my late twenties, and it's become sort of a hobby for me. I educated myself enough about it, so these days I even make recommendation to random people who are looking for a decent bottle but are in a yellow tail section... Cheers!

    I enjoy white wine, and occasionally a cold beer. I'm not much for hard stuff, except for Creme de Menthe liqueur. I love mint.

    ahhh...*grabs his Pennsylvania Dutch eggnog to reply*

    Yes. Yes I do. My mother thinks I'm becoming an alcoholic when in reality I just do my own thing.

    Right on. I despise the taste of it. I don't see why people are so overzealous about it.

    Yes! I'm no alcoholic, but I love drinking. I don't need it to have fun or anything, but I like the way it makes me feel, so I partake. No shame in that.

    My parents also drink, so I usually have at least one drink per week, but sometimes more. Especially when school is out.

    I like to drink wine, beer (typically hard cider), liquor, mixed drinks... anything really lol.

    Right. You can have a piece of the richest overly frosted cake, eat moderate meals the rest of that day, and exercise ... and you should not gain weight, unless your metabolism is not working properly or it has slowed down. You can't do this all the time, but a few times a week is perfectly acceptable. And here I'm referring to a decadent dessert and not alcohol. It's desserts that I have trouble pushing away.

    I've honestly never consumed alcohol and, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to keep it that way. The thought of not being in control of myself terrifies me, and I have a family history of alcoholics, so I'd like to keep away from that stigma as much as possible.

    Nope for several reasons.
    1. I'm underage
    2. The time I acidently had wine, I thought it tasted like vomit mixed with sprite.
    3. My aunt is an alcoholic and my dad has been clean for 7th months now. Why get addicted to something you don't have to. I know I would due to family history.


    The only "alcohol" I like is Creme de Menthe squares that my mom makes at christmas. I don't like wine even in cooking but a little cooking sherry is okay.

    Yep, I do...
    Guilty pleasure, actually. I'm underage so I shouldn't drink, but still...

    And quitting drinking because of gaining weight is not good enough of a reason for me. Eating also makes a person gain weight but quitting it is not a very reasonable solution, now is it?

    I mean, out of all the reasons why someone should quit drinking, weight gain is at the bottom of my list... :|

    Nope. I might have a drink if it's being offered, but I usually don't. I never saw the appeal of getting drunk and I hate how straight beer tastes.
