Who else has never got drunk in their life?

I doubt it would make you seem like friend material to them. And it doesn't matter because they wouldn't be true friends to you. Though kids seem to friend each other some over who they think is boring and who they don't like, what I observe about adults is they make friends around who and what they like and what they like to do.

Never, because 1. I don't like alcohol and 2. I don't see the point to it.

Get new friends.
Cheese is better.

When I was in 4th grade I was put in this chain school called Questar, there, I was mistreated, and people treated me like i was ret*d, sure there were other kids in the school who were ret*d but why should this have been my problem. Sure, I had some behavioral problems and I had autism but I certainly was not ret*d, please comment if you went through the same thing as I did and thanx for reading!

I've never been drunk before. Alcohol kinda tastes like fire.

I wish I could say I've never been drunk, but that horse is out of the barn. Has been since 1983. I think alcohol is far more destructive and dangerous than society gives it credit for.

I have never been drunk, closest I got was when someone put a full shot of Bailey's Irish cream in my chocolate milkshake. That stuff burns... I cannot do alcohol.

Sober Virgin here.

I've certainly been drunk, but not these days. I was first fascinated by alcohol intoxication when I was about 15, and thought it was very clever for a few years, but gradually got bored with it and gave it up apart from a very occasional glass, which I enjoy for its pleasant taste and for the slightly warm glow it gives me.

Last time I had too much was by accident - I was used to drinking gallons of tea a day, and no alcohol at all, but they weren't selling any soft drinks I liked at an open mic night, so I chose Guinness and didn't realise how much it would affect me after so many years away from alcohol. Before I knew it I'd had about 4 pints and I was staggering home. No embarrassing behaviour though, I was just unpleasantly zonked, and wisely kept a low profile till it was home time. The following day I felt like crap, slightly nauseous and good for nothing.

So naturally I don't see it as shameful to be alcohol-free, I think it's good. If anything, it's shameful to drink excessively. I think that being surrounded by a homogenous group of booze-worshippers is one of those things that reinforces my belief that nonconformity is sometimes an asset. As far as I'm concerned they can shove their alcohol culture.

buzzed but never drunk because my body won't tolerate alcohol.

I have been drunk once in my life when I was 21. A "friend" thought it would be funny to spike my drink with hard liquor at a gathering and see what I would act like. Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to alcohol and nearly bled to death internally during the process. Not a good evening to say the least. That was (and will be) the last time alcohol "tickles my innerds" (old Moutain Dew pop bottle phrase).

I've got to admit I'm completely shocked by the amount of "virgins" posting here. Drugs and alcohol have been a (not proud of the fact) way of life for me since I was a teen, I'm 27 now. I do not think there is anything to be ashamed of as far as never drinking before, but I'm willing to bet that your social life has suffered as a result.

We all have social deficits as part of being autistic, that is a given. That is why alcohol and drugs (specifically opiates) have been such a useful tool for me. I have probably had more success socially then most aspies, don't take that as me belittling anyone here either. I just know that if I didn't have the false sense of confidence and the drug induced anxiety relief, I would not have engaged in half as much socially as I did growing up.

It has came with a price though. I had developed an addiction to heroin, spent months of my life in jail, and overdosed and nearly died 3 times. I'm sober today and can still say (as messed up as this sounds) that I was happier when I was using. That is because of the relief of my symptoms around aspergers that I got from using. That's why I get irritated when people try to say autism isn't a disability, because i suffer so much from it's symptoms that it pushes me to find rationality in using a drug that has put me on my death bed three times now....you think I'd still use if I weren't desperate?

I've never gotten myself drunk. In fact, I can't drink alcohol at all because I'm heavily medicated.

I've never been drunk. I've never touched alcohol, except once accidentally when I was seven at party for my dad's work. I grabbed a cup of it because it was the red cool aid in the other punch bowl, and the purple cool aid I had been drinking was empty. It sure didn't taste like cool aid, it was very nasty. I took one taste and disposed of it. I haven't had anything with alcohol in it since.

the closest I've come to intoxication was in the dentist's chair with the nitrous I was literally as high as a kite [had an OOBE]. IMHO all homes should come with built-in NO2 as standard equipment

I've been sober for a little over a year now, but for 35 years I drank like a fish and abused drugs for 22 of those years. Yes, the alcohol was a social lubricant and helped me fit in. Hell, the alcohol "turned down" the world so that lights and sounds didn't impact me as much as it does now. However, just like CrazyFool, I paid a dear price for those abuses - jail, suicide attempts, homelessness, etc. In a weird way you can say that alcohol is our antidote for fitting in socially; unfortunately, for some of us, it exacts a serious price which can result in death.
