So, I've been of legal drinking age for two years now but I've never tried a drop of anything alcoholic in my life. The hardest stuff I drink is coffee. If you now my background, that's not too surprising. I don't disapprove of drinking but I don't know. The thought of me drinking something that messes with my mind just grosses me out. And the smell of the stuff, yuck.

Am I missing out on anything worthwhile? Really, the only reason I myself might want to drink is to fit in better with friends.

I went through a drinking phase once. It's mostly what crowds you hang out with, and I guess the funny stuff that can happen when people have a good beer buzz. It can help you loosen up and relax.

If you don't feel like doing it, and especially if you don't typically hang out in bars and alchoholic parties, then don't worry about it.

Yeah booze can really take the edge off situations. Honestly, even a slight buzz is nice, you don't have to be full on drunk. That being said, don't do what you do not want to do.



Oh, and I like pot way the fuck more.

I don't handle alcohol well at all. I'm so glad the first time I drank it wasn't in public. I don't drink, if I do I drink reaaaaally little. I also don't like the idea of something that messes with my head, so even if I could tolerate it, I wouldn't drink much.

A friend of mine offered a puff once. I didn't like it initially, but it had an interesting aftertaste. I didn't really seek out any more, though. I doubt you can just pick up a box of weed at the convenience store like you can cigarettes.

...It's pretty much that simple after a while

^^^ This. ^^^

You don't have to get rip-roaring hammered. Really, getting that ripped isn't fun.

Some things (e.g. straight hard liquor) is an acquired taste, and yeah, if you don't have a taste for it, it can smell and taste terrible.

Try some hard cider sometime though. It's only moderately alcoholic and the crisp varieties taste like not-overly-sweet fizzy apple juice.

It just makes me feel shitty. I hate it.

Oh you can't take alcohol either? Yea, felt really bad. I haven't tried anymore since, I just sip a little if the situation calls for it.
