Would you date a teetotaler?

Yes as long as they don't mind me drinking

 

Hell yea I would. I'm an abstainer so I wouldn't have any problem with it, I'd actually welcome it.

 

Of course, I'm very close beeing one too.
Only drink some on new year evening, eastern dinner when I'm invited or
it's in the sauce of the food.

 

I would have no problem with someone who doesn't drink, would actually prefer it since I don't drink myself. I have tried sips of wine and can't stand the taste, hate the smell of beer, and getting drunk has no appeal to me. I think it is actually harder to meet someone when you choose not to drink which kind of sucks. I don't mind if the other person drinks occasionally, like with dinner once a week or if we were to go out.

 

If someone rejects you solely because you don't drink, then they aren't worthy of you. I drink, but my wife doesn't. We have no problem there. It's a choice everyone makes. That would be like someone not liking you because you don't want garlic in your lasagna.

 

I think as long as you don't mind if your partner drinks, there are people who may see this as a plus. I myself don't drink, and I have had a lot of people ask me if I mind being a designated driver because of this, and I said no problem. Win-win.

I'm actually married as of March and my wife and I are both completely straight edge. (Meaning no alcohol, pot, or recreational drugs of any kind for us.) I've had some coworkers try to invite me drinking, and certainly some people will be put off by it, but there are definitely plenty who won't mind that you don't drink.

But just like anything else in your personality, it's a part of who you are, and the right person will accept or even like that in you.

 

Oh my, that would be hard! I would have no say no, it would not work.

I worked for 5 years as a Sommelier/wine buyer for a group of fine dining restaurants, and even now, working in a library, I am very much a lover of a good meal, with a good wine. And wine has long been a hobby of mine, taking tasting notes, learning about all the regions, the history of the regions, and at times, even building up a small cellar/collection.

It is indeed hard to imagine, for me, that there are people who have the defect of not drinking wine :V

 

This really isn't something I gave a great deal of thought to. I drink very seldom, and boyfriend is the same way.

 

Would sherry and port count? Otherwise, I'm partial to the occasional brandy ^^

 

Yes, Sherry and Port would most certainly count!

Port goes really well with chocolate, too. And nuts.

 

I think I'd have a problem dating a drinker. Pre- drinks are now a thing. You apparently get drunk at home before you go out because it's cheaper. I'm a 25 year old non-drinker sharing an apartment with 5 17-18ry olds who do drink and had equal looks of shock when they found out I don't. We are in Ireland drinking is this country's pastime.

 

I would. My younger sister (28) doesn't drink at all and never has because she's allergic to alcohol. Her alcoholic abusive ex had a big issue with it but her partners since haven't.

I don't drink often or much myself.

 

I don't drink and neither does my wife. We have much better things to do anyway.

 

Actually yes. I dont drink that often due to the fact that I take medication for adhd and what happens there is you have antidepressants fighting depressants. I only drink on certain occasions.

 

As a drinker and a pothead, a partner who does the same is a plus, but definitely not a must. I'm sure there are others that would say it is a must, and there are also people who would say they don't care if you don't but then go and pressure you to drink or whatever, which isn't okay. If you don't judge or scold your date, then they shouldn't be bothered by your choices and if they are, that's their problem and they can see themselves out.
