this is what pisses me off about people who drink and smoke, any time i say i dont drink they get all defensive and get pissed at me for hating on them. like if they ask me if i wanna drink and i say no, then they ask why and i say "i just dont drink" in the nicest way possible, and still half the time people take it as like an insult and think im some uptight ass.
and i dont go around bragging about it, i never tell anyone unless they ask me, really its the people that do drink that go around bragging about it, NOT EVERYONE, but you see alot of kids bragging about how many beers they can drink and how shitty they felt the next morning. or the people at partys shotgunning beers in front of everybody so they can look "daring" and super badass.
again not everyone who drinks acts like this, but there are alot more people who do drink who have that "look at me, i drink, so im cool, give me attention!" attitude, i dont know anyone who doesnt drink that has that attitude.
like i got this friend who has gone to jail(for 6 months but only on weekends), gotten a dui, and multiple tickets, lost his job, and got like 6 grand in fines all from drinking. when he got his dui he was trying to run from the cops while he was extremely drunk, and ended up trying to take a 90 degree neighborhood corner at 80mph and crashed into a house. and he still drinks all the f-ing time and tells me i need to be more outgoing and do fun things (by this he means drinking, nothing else) like if he is drinking and im not, he will spend the whole time trying to convince me to drink. when i say something like "your the perfect example of why not to drink, so no" he trys to play off his now fucked up life like its "cool" and he doesnt care. actually he got punched in the face by another friend of mine after he got his dui, just because he was so pissed at him for being a total careless dick that was the first thing he did when he saw him.
sooo anyway yeah this is really my reason not to drink, there is no reason for me to have less fun than i do now, and have to risk fucking up my life.
for me its really not the alcohol that i dont like (even though i hate the taste of it) its mostly the way people do it, like lets go sit around all night drinking just so we can be drunk. its just such a waste of what could be a good time, instead of going out and doing something fun, half my friends always just wanna sit around all night and drink and be as bored as possible. it just seems like its a boring ass lifestyle. if me and my friends are bored at night, we go outside and find something fun to do, and its much more fun than ive ever had drinking.
infact, when people hang out with us on nights when they would usually be drinking. they almost always tell us how much more fun it is.
to me alcohol is just like any other beverage, ill drink it if it tastes good and im thursty, and if i dont have to drive, otherwise, im not gonna drink something that tastes like shit and makes me feel like shit just so people will think im cool.
