I hate alcohol

Here is an article on beer and wine making industries blaming on climate change impacts - http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/ ... RP20141016

Despite the lies behind these industries is THAT they consume a lot of water to make one bottle of beer or wine! Just as much as animal agriculture. It is extremely difficult to overcome this issue. Its because the mainstream society and influences is being dependent on alcoholism. The world is drunk with it. It makes people minds to focus on this, thus making no sense to cause climate change impacts. Just like how everyone thinks of animal agriculture is causing climate change impacts too.

But the alcohol side is quite dangerous and difficult to escape. People is intentionally feel not confident without one because alcohol has influenced their thoughts in the social environment. This is the case where people accept others who drinks too. In a small amounts/doses such as a standard glass a day is feasible for both mitigating climate change impacts from over productions/consumption and as well social development controls.

I am quite surprised that there are no research on this yet, despite on how many social impacts arises from the same issue. Alcohol is leading cause of climate change, that is my opinion. This is because alcohol rethinks people's mind on their behaviour, attitudes and abilities to make decisions, organisation and planning. These factors influences on people's understanding on diversity, environmental values and humanity.

I can see this is clearly an issue. Can't you understand this? There are far more bottle shops than butcheries and that in your own community!! !! ! Even more bottle shops than banks, supermarkets and community social/health centres!

Well if you don't like to drink then that's your desition, more power to ya mate.

Me? I love alcohol. It makes it easyer to talk to people, conversations flow so much easyer when people aren't so damn self concious. I've had some of my best conversations while drunk. Sitting up all night drinking discussing philosophy, pondering the nature of the universe.

I honestly can't fathom how drinking can make a social situation any harder?
Unless offcouse you had a parent who was an abusive alcoholic.

Nay sayers often claim alcohol brings out the worst in people. I beg to differ. Tribes of old used drugs and alcohol to experience altered states of consciousness. When done in a group it lets us experience it together which bonds us together sometimes almost in a spiritual way.

Alcohol also makes flirting so much easyer. Most of the times I drink with people I don't know that well I end up getting a shag by the end of the evening. Last time, with five at once. I find it rude not to flirt back, wich is how I often end up in theese situations.

Infact I owe my life to alcohol, if mum and dad hadn't gotten drunk and wound up together I most likely would never have been bourne, or so they say.

So what if producing alcohol screws up the environment, a lot of things screw it up a lot more in comparison.

Who cares if its not healthy? Sugar is even more unhealthy, but it won't kill you if you're able to show a bit of moderation and common sense.

So if alcohol isn't your cup of long island iced tea, I respect your desition and courage to stand against peer pressure. As for me I'm lucky if I have 30 years left here. So please excuse me while I squease every drop of pleasure I can get out of life.
Cheers

I will never drink because of my emetophobia. I've had a total of 5 sips in my life on 5 separate occasions and I'm turning 20 in the fall.

I stopped drinking alcohol because I got a hang over for the last time last year. It makes me sick to even think about it...I don't miss it at all and I don't need to drink to have fun.

Not everyone drinks;)

i too hate alcohol, for the following reasons:

1.My dad's an alcoholic.
2.I like having my mental faculties intact.

I also don't need it to come out of my shell like some.
I come alive in small groups or in the right crowd.
I am more of a social person than one might expect from me,
but i hate seeing people around me drink alcohol.
It makes me want to either smack that bottle out of their hands
or go home. I don't know, i have a strong dislike for every mind-altering substance that isn't
caffeine.

I still can't understand why the world is so dependent on alcohol for their social lives. Its sick and tormenting to me.

I hate alcohol too.

Why would I want to waste money on something that would only harm me and make me behave angrily/stupid/etc.?

I don't get why drinking alcohol is (pretty much) a requirement if you're going to meet up with someone. Another of the contributions to my hardly ever doing that...

I stopped drinking alcohol about 5 years ago. I started to feel that I became a jerk when I was drinking. I was not particularly happy with my life then. Now, if I even drink a little bit, I start to feel very bad. I don't know if it is a physiological change that causes it or if it just brings back the memory of that time.

Anyway, I think that moderate drinking is not all that bad. For a lot of people it helps them release their inhibitions and to be more open with others. That is the effect it had on me, at the best of times. It is fun if you happen to be surrounded by people who accept you and respond positively to your alcohol-induced openness. I guess I mean that when you find yourself in the presence of kindred spirits, then a little bit of spirits can be fun.

But not for me anymore.

I like it alright in moderation....of course I have gone beyond moderation more than once. I hate how drunk I've gotten in the past but I still like to have a beer, glass of wine(red wine not much into the lighter wines as they tend towards being too sweet or weak in taste) or a mixed drink and get a nice buzz but don't like to go beyond that...due to past hang-overs or just drinking too much at once.

Initially much of my drinking was to cope...like rather than feeling lonely and depressed, being too drunk to notice seemed preferable. Since then I have discovered marijuana to be a much better substance to help with that kind of thing....if I smoke too much weed I might go to sleep....if I drink too much I might draw unwanted attention to myself and end up getting in trouble for disturbing the peace or something.
