Do you drink alcoholic drinks?

People(friends, coworkers) always ask me to drink alcoholic drinks when we hang out, since that is usually one of the things that is always present when late night hang outs And i always decline because of many things...i promised my mom and myself that i wouldn't, and i also do not like the taste. I have tasted some of it though just so i can recognize it but just a tiny sip and that's it. It is just so annoying to explain to people all the time, especially the pushy ones. Do you drink?

I used to when I was younger but with my friends only. I do not usually drink with co workers.

Very good self control you have in there. Peer pressure can sometimes be so much especially when your companions are already drunk and would somehow pressure you to drink a little or sometime may convince someone to take the same as well. I would supposed that you are with good company that they do not force you to take and respect your decision not to take what they are taking.

Yes I do occasionally and only when I'm in the mood. These days when there's a party I go to, I just drink martini.

I don't and that was a dampener in my career. Most expect to be entertained with drinks etc which was a turn off for me. I found a safe haven away from such habit-forming pursuits - siva

I was once like you until I was advised "enjoy your youth". You literally don't have to drink to stagger. You just have to drink responsibly. I usually drink but once in a while during parties.

yeah, i'm not really against those who drink.. just people should know their limits and also respect others who choose not to drink

I do drink, mostly when I play music with friends. But I try to drink what (and how much) *I* want to drink, not how much others want me to drink.

Although I will have a drink once in a while I still say I don`t drink because its not something I do often. I think its been 2 years since I had a drink. One drink makes me drunk anyways.

No. Never tasted any. And not interested to try. Few days ago i watched one program on " Caught on Camera" where a guy who has dashcam in his car followed behind a drunk driver. He tried to stop the drunk driver. After a few attempts he managed to stop the car and quickly went to the guy and took his car key away. Good that somebody intervened and prevented him from harming anybody.
