I am someone who does drink, but not very often. The truth is I have never been drunk. I have no desire to ever get wasted. I don’t drink just because everyone else is. I like the taste of a good beer or fine wine every now and then. No crappy beers (Bud, Coors…).
I’m just curious Jake, do you not drink because you don’t like the taste, or do you think it makes you a better person to not drink, or fear of alcholism? There are studies that show drinking certain wine and dark beers are actually good for you (obviously in moderation). I can state that I don’t smoke, because it’s gross and has absolutely no health benefits.
I’m aware of the health benefits of some wines and beers, but I don’t drink for a few reasons. Other than the history of alcoholics in my family, I’ve just seen too many people whose lives have been completely f**ked up by alcohol. I’ve also had a good friend of mine who was nearly-killed by a drunk driver, and I don’t want to somehow be the one behind the whell, drunk, and do that to somebody’s innocent family. I really don’t have a problem with others drinking, and most of my best friends drink, but they also respect that I won’t.
Damn straight we tea totalers are simply better people, ya beer swilling peasant! 😉
