I do not drink it. I don't care to either. Seen enough of it's destructive power in too many of my friends and family.

I don't drink. I know I'm also underage, but when I am allowed to drink I don't plan to drink. Coca-Cola is good enough for me. :P

No, in fact Im affraid of people who do. Something weird happens to them and they change... its creepy. I have heard that people drink alcohol because they "find it easier to socialise and have more fun" if they do. I can feel it a pity for them somehow to need something like that to have fun. I can have fun anyway without it....

Once In my life I tasted alcohol by mistake. It was at a disco in Estonia in 1994
I was terrified to be in a foreign country with people I neither knew properly and didnt trust. I was so affraid they would get drunk and I would be left alone. One of them let me taste and I thought it was orange juice as thats what it looked like. When I was told it was alcohol I panicked and started to cry because I was so affraid of it and didnt know what it could do to me....

Apart from that I have never and never will drink alcohol...

It's not a toxic substance unless you drink a lot. First it will make you slightly elated, then you will calm down. Occasionally you will get aggressive if provoked but more likely you'll just want to sleep.

What were you doing in Estonia anyway? :)

Yeah by logic I understand the process would go something like that now. But by then I was young and allowed my fear to take over. I wouldnt panic if it was today most probably but on the other hand I havent put myself in any similuar situation since then...

I was in Estonia with a group of students of a course I was attending by then. A journey was included towards the end of the course and for some reason we choosed Estonia...Oh yeah they didnt get drunk enough to the stage where they lost control and the day after said "I dont remember what happened yesterday" kinda..

Btw, My cousin had a cat many years ago called Tequila. I thought that was a cool name of a cat. Some years later I found out that its actually the name of a kind of alcohol, oops. Also I found out that my cousin tried to make her own alcohol in her home somehow but when I visited her I understood absolutely nothing!!

I've never drunk tequila. Can't imagine that it's very nice really.

It's fairly easy to make your own alcohol if you wish. When I get my own place later this year I plan to make a second attempt at brewing an apfelwein. It needs patience, cleanliness and time more than anything else - great for someone with a OCD cleanliness symptoms I suppose.

You're into photography? Me too. My Flickr account is here.

I drink alcohol rarely. When I do drink it I prefer alcopops as I don't like taste of beer all that much.

Further reply to Tequila:

Oh right, its easy to take for granted Tequila is your favourite drink :wink:
Haha, so I would fit perfectly to make my own alcohol then with my cleanliness OCD :P

You are cool, who noticed my post before I edited off that part about "photography" I thought it was irrelevant for this thread. But it brought on something very good instead - your Flickr account! Thats great, I will save the link and take a look later on as its indeed an interest we have in common. I have for long time planned to get myself an account there but have been too busy with videos, its always So Much You Want To Do!! !!
Thanks for sharing :D

Sometimes I do, but not often.

I don't really like the taste of beer and most wines tend to give me headaches.
I'm kind of more into specialized drinks though.

I don't really drink. I only take sips of alcohol on occasion just to have a taste.

Not since I was, like, twelve or ten years old. It's an inconvenience, and not rewarding enough.
