Not OP, but I have (virtually) the same rule. I’m averaging about 3 beers a year, and only when I really, _really_ feel like it. I don’t have a specific reason

Not OP, but I have (virtually) the same rule. I’m averaging about 3 beers a year, and only when I really, _really_ feel like it.
I don’t have a specific reason for it. The one reason most people seem to accept is when I say “I don’t like the feeling of losing control”, although that’s only partially it. Another one that comes up is “I don’t need that to have fun”. Although I grew up in France and Belgium, I don’t like the taste of either wine or beer.
I completely agree with OP though: I don’t frankly care when people judge me for not drinking.
- olcor 6y agoyea I agree - one time my dad got me drunk as a kid and molested me and now I'm fucking terrified of alcohol
- rocqua 6y agoDang man. That is some heavy stuff. I can see why you don't like to tell that story, that's got to suck.
- partyboat1586 6y agoDrinking helps people bond which is why people like it. You don't have to drink all the time to get that benefit, just a small bit sometimes to break the ice. Beer is pretty good once you get used to it, the taste completely transforms.
