Late thirties here, and I've never drank, not once. Not for any religious reasons, but exactly what you said: I weighed the positives and negatives as a teen, and decided I'd have more fun watching my friends get drunk and making sure they got home okay, than ending up in the same mess as them.
- danielbln 12y agoI respect that decision, but it is a bit of a false dichotomy. You can responsibly drink w/o becoming "a mess". Granted, that probably works better as an adult than as a teenager. Personally, I follow the 'everything in moderation, even moderation' approach.
- morganvachon 12y agoWell, that was my thought process as a teen. As I got older, I just never saw a need to start drinking. I guess I grew out of it without ever experiencing it. At this stage in my life, why bother?
- kaybe 12y agoWell, there is something to say about a good whiskey. It smells like so many things, and tastes like many others.. I can just smell my glass all evening without ever drinking. It's usually expensive enough that I don't even have enough to feel it, and it lasts a long time (since I keep smelling.. ). What you say sounds to me as if you've never tried chocolate (the good kind, not the sugary cheap one).
- morganvachon 12y agoI can understand that point of view; I love the smell of a good cigar. I just won't smoke one for personal reasons. And yes, I've had gourmet chocolate; I'm not sure what that has to do with alcoholic drinks.
