I’m always happy when people get mad that I don’t drink because it usually means they’ve never met an alcoholic whose life has been ruined by the bottle and that’s happy to me.
Of course, they should know better than to ask the guy with an extremely addictive personality type who has played more WoW than hours they’ve ever spent watching TV. But hey, the world must be becoming a better place if fewer people know how bad addiction can be :)
- war1025 6y agoI don't get pressed about it often, but usually when people ask why I don't drink, I just say that I have poor self control and all my memories with alcohol end in vomiting. If they push it further than that, I tell them I have family with addiction issues and don't want to risk it.
- bawolff 6y agoOr they have an acohol problem and by not drinking you're un-normalizing alcohol consumption and making them feel self-concious of their faults so they lash out to distract from that. No idea if that's a true thing that happens, but that is definitely the sterotype of people who want everyone to drink.
- sdigital 6y agoThat's exactly it. My line is "no thanks, it's my least favorite drug"... you'll get some interesting reactions to that one.
