    Yes I still drink. I don't drink near as often as I used to though. I used to get drunk pretty much every weekend, now I haven't been out drinking since thanksgiving and I still have half a 12 pack that I bought a couple weeks before that.

    No.

    I will occasionally have a drink if someone is treating and that's 1 drink 90% of the time and 2 drinks the other 10% of the time. I probably buy myself an alcoholic drink once every 2 to 3 years.

    Pressure to drink doesn't work on me.

    Due to the fact that I am underage, I can't drink. I haven't yet to decide whether or not I will when I'm older.

    Does a 19 year old British male drink alcohol?

    Not really. I don't rate the whole experience of being drunk very highly compared to other stuff.

    When I'm at a party or something like that... otherwise no. I hate the taste of beer, I'll only drink cocktails and things like that.

    When I first turned 21 I started drinking so much. And also just liquor, no sweet stuff. I put on 30 pounds that basically melted off after I quit drinking. I think there are factors beyond just calories

    I believe I personally don't need alcohol to have fun. I have my own natural energy as it is, and I can have fun without being in an altered state.

    Yes, I drink. I don't drink too often--only at parties or with small groups of people. I never drink alone, and lately I've drank maybe once a month, if that. I don't like to get super drunk, so once I reach a decent state of drunkenness, I usually stop and that's it for the night, which is more than can be said for my friends :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Also, I hate beer.

    Alcohol hasn't caused weight gain for me, though I really only drink on weekends. I might have the odd glass of wine or bottle of cider here and there, but that's it.

    As you get older, I suspect the ability to drink a lot without gaining weight becomes harder, though my sister at 28 gets pretty drunk nearly every weekend and is thin - the thinnest person in our family (and probably the heaviest drinker).

    There is a myriad of factors contributing to to weight gain, and alcohol consumption is but one. Consuming more calories than you burn is the biggest cause.

    Yeah but only on special occasions, like the holidays. I generally avoid it due to its bitter taste :/

    I never drink alcohol. Have made a few exceptions in my life, but I didn't drink much those times, I have never felt drunk and it's not anything I miss. Don't like the taste and I don't feel like I need it.

    Can't drink like I could five years ago but I can still put a good bit down when the time is right. I drink only on weekends now mainly, almost never more than 3-4 mixed drinks a night.

    Not so much anymore, no. Maybe once a month this past school semester because free alcohol, but then I tended to overdo it and the massive hangover reminds me as to why I don't drink more regularly…

    No, I don't. I'm underage though, but it's not like people my age don't drink.

    No... Not because of the weight thing, most of it just tastes disgusting...
