  3. I have a few times but, I don't often because when I drink alcohol, even after a drink, I can feel myself losing control. I choose not to put myself in those situations. If you can handle drinking, power to you. I can't, so I don't.

    No. Mainly because in 2013 someone close to me became really emotionally abusive and really aggressive whenever they drank and they were an alcoholic, so that kind of put me off alcohol.

    I don't drink, for several reasons.

    1) I can't have alcohol with the medications I'm on
    2) I don't really like the taste of most hard alcohol. I love beer though. Things like wine, champagne, hard cider, etc. I like, but not as much as beer.
    3) I refuse to get drunk, and despise being around drunk people. I have a really severe phobia of people throwing up, so I get really panicky/obsessive around people when they're drinking a lot. Easier to avoid it altogether.

    I do get some strange looks when I tell people that I don't drink. They tend to be more understanding of the concept that I can't (because of meds), than of the idea that I don't want to. Does make it difficult to make new friends though.

    Very, very rarely and never in excess. Alcohol makes me sleepy and boring, usually, and most alcoholic drinks taste awful to me anyway.

    I do drink alot of alcohol but only on special occasions... For example I had alot to drink on new years eve but I wouldn't drink as much as I did if it wasn't new years. If it was just a random day out and we went to a bar I would just have a drink or two. It all depends on the occasion for me :slight_smile:.

    I don't drink it very much. Every now and then I will have a beer, but that is it really.

    At present, I'm banned from drinking alcohol by my doctor (Accutane).

    When not under medication, I sometimes drink a beer or two every other week or month :lol: (not really a drinker, but when I do drink a beer, it's Shiner Bock; Budweiser/Miller/Coors can suck it).

    I also don't mind cocktails, if Coca-Cola and whiskey count as a cocktail :lol:.

    I never used to, for several reasons. But as I've been coming out I've also been wanting to try new things and let go of some of the inhibitions I have, and so I've been trying drinks here and there. I don't really want to get wasted or anything but I am learning a "buzz" is not a bad feeling. And I worry a lot less about spilling some deep secret when my guard is down (weird how the mind works, as I was not even aware of what this deep secret *was* before, but I knew I wanted to hide it).

    When I was younger I was pretty much wasted every weekend, now only on special occasions I`ll have a glass of wine.

    I like to drink once in a while. I don't, I can't, drink like I did in college, but even now and then I like to have a beer or two.

    I do drink, but not too much. Usually just a beer or two on the weekend, and if I go to a Mexican restaurant with a decent bar, then I'll get a margarita. But that's about it.

    never. I hate the taste of alcohol. I am also on medication which alcohol can interact with.

    I only just started last year, after graduating high school. Oddly enough, I drink more at home than I do at University.

    Yes, in moderation. I prefer rum and vodka. Sometimes mixed with red bull.

    I usually eat when I'm drinking because it slows the effects. I think I'd soon gain weight if I often drank alcohol because of all that stuff combined.

    Only when I am with friends and never enough to be really drunk.
