Do you not drink alcohol?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't drink alcohol because...

1) It tastes disgusting.
2) After giving myself alcohol poisoning when I was 15 or 16 I realized that since alcoholism runs in the family I should stop drinking just for the sake of getting drunk (which is what I used to do to self medicate).
3) & lastly, it's not vegan (well, most of it isn't).

There's plenty of other better tasting things to drink that wont make you lose control of your own behavior.

no alcohol for me thanks =)
my bf drinks a lot tho...and he has been trying to make me drink with him =P

I occansionally drink a glass of wine wine (I'm allergic to some types of wine) or chocolate liquor, usually on Shabbos (Saturday) or a holiday.

Does that count?

That's why I home brew. I'm not a "pure" vegan I drink Guinness from time to time why they use isinglass in a dark beer is beyond me. I still consider it Kosher their are no traces of the isinglass in the beer, all that fishy gunk falls to the bottom of the holding tanks, what they do with those fishy bi products I do not know perhaps fertilizer?

Where do you draw the line?

I gave up alcohol - I had enough of the hangovers.
Now I drink Diet Cola or Diet Ginger Beer but sometimes Irn Bru [look that one up]

Everyone in my family drinks, but usually in moderation. I'm the exception. I just don't like the idea of something that messes with my head.

That depends on what you drink and how much of it.



If you stick to low-alcohol drinks (say under 4%) you won't have that problem. There are some milds (dark, sweet, malty ales) that are made here that are under 3%. You'd need to drink quite a few to feel very drunk off them. This makes them perfect for lunchtime.

Ah - the famous Scottish hangover cure.

I also use it to clean my car's alloy wheels.

I would drink in moderation but I am not given much chances to do so, at least so far in my life. I do not have any social circles where I would drink.

I haven't drank for 4 years, now. I'm very proud of myself.

I can't drink it anymore but I use to.

Had to be taken into a hospital twice for alcohol poisoning and I also have trouble drinking it "moderately".

Kinda sucks especially when I'm at social gatherings.

I drink it from time to time, few times a year. Nothing big, though... nothing I do often.

Not a heavy drinker. Beer mostly...some wine, no booze. Newcastle Brown Ale and Guinness are my favorites.

I drink every once in awhile. I usually don't enjoy most forms other than rum, and thats when its in my coke.
