You can dress it however you want, but "cocktail" is just a guise for self-harm. Do your body a favour and don't drink.

  I don't know why the teetotaler community feels the need to comment in any discussion on the internet where alcohol comes up. You don't have to say anything. There are many risks in life. Most of us make tradeoffs for things which don't maximize longevity but increase happiness in the time we get. For some people that's driving a car, for some people that's getting a sun tan, for some people that's alcohol.

    > teetotaler ah the alcoholics lingo. The word you are looking for is "health conscious".

      teetotaler(n.) also teetotaller, "one who formally pledges to entire abstinence from intoxicating drink," 1834, agent noun from teetotal (q.v.). Related: Teetotaleress (1834); teetotalist (1840). Invented by the "health conscious" and used as a term of self-identification. As far as I know, nobody thinks of it as anything other than a convenient synonym for "doesn't want to drink alcohol, at all". It conveniently avoids motivation, too. Several religions forbid alcohol, it's not a good idea for alcoholics, and of course there are people who just think it's a bad idea for any other reason. "I'm a teetotaller" avoids getting into personal details.
