No judgement here. Obviously we live in different places where alcohol is regarded differently. Vote for which comment you associate with most.
No, I don’t drink alcohol.
No, last time I did was when I accidentally drank some rum. Tasted like shit if you ask me.
Oh for sure. It’s trash. I mean it’s literal poison. But the feeling it gives me and the urges I feel I have to satisfy are greater than the repulsive taste and destruction :/ I’m getting help
I drink from time to time.
Yeah, kind of an alcoholic.
I’m sorry comrade. I relate. It’s a hard thing to go through. We must remember that there are better ways of channeling our pain and suffering and all this is doing to us is destroying our brains and bodies.
I know that’s not much help, and care is expensive as fuck, but still. Hang in there, friend.
Yeah, I mean, I’m not wake up at the middle of the night for a drink alcoholic, but I drink most days of the week at least a little, and there are times where I drink every day for a few months. Maybe not exorbitant amounts some times, although others I do, but some days you just come back home full of shit and a glass of anything helps you get through. Maybe some people will say smoke some weed but it’s not the same and it usually gives me anxiety unless it’s high CBD weed, which is hard to come by.
Very rarely and only in small quantities then. Have seen too many friends get stuck in their early-20s casual drinking mode and developing an addiction to it (despite being high functioning) to touch that stuff more than occasionally. Also hangovers are horrible and being drunk imo just isn’t a fun “trip”. Just a terrible drug
I live in Australia, comes as natural as my mullet. Jokes aside I can count the number of drinks I have a year and have never been seriously drunk.
I have always had a preference for Cannabis, but I do enjoy rice liquor with friends on a end of work week
I grew more and more critical of alcohol with time but it plays such a big role where I live that I don’t see myself without it in that context. At the same time, I appreciate craft beer and pure whiskey, which isn’t like binge drinking diluted shitty liquor just to get smashed.
I recommend any young person starting to drink to always take it slow, resist peer pressure for you and the people around you, learn to say no and help people saying no when they want to. Appreciate the taste of decent alcoholic product and don’t force yourself to ingest anything just to get drunk. Respect people who don’t drink and support them in their choice.

Aww yeah. A glass of good, pure, whiskey or other fine liquor is a very nice treat.

Yes, I regularly drink alcohol
I’m not at legal drinking age yet, so no, but I also don’t plan to ever consume it. Consuming alcohol is equivalent to intentionally consuming a toxin. Most of the ethanol is metabolized in the liver, via alcohol dehydrogenase, into acetaldehyde, which is a toxic carcinogen that can do fun things like damaging DNA and causing abnormal muscle development by binding to proteins.
Good on you! Yay for sober trans

No.
I find the smell and/or taste of the majority of alcohol repulsive. I have attempted to try a wide variety of alcohols ranging from wines, beer, champagne, spirits, vodka, whiskey, bourbon, kvas, and so on. My family also has running heart problems and alcoholism, so I feel no need to poke the bear with drinking.
Plus other then drunkeness, there is really no benefit (or really a disadvantage) provided by an alcoholic beverage that cannot be provided by a non-alcoholic beverage.
Water all day every day, soda incredibly rarely, tea daily for energy, and the occasional energy drink for a big boost in energy.
Very rarely.
Nah, I hate the taste and I’ve seen what happens when people get drunk and I want no part of it.
Last part is facts. I love the taste of beer (somehow) but I’ve done countless stupid things while drunk that I regret to this day. Rather recently, too.
No… but I contemplate it almost every week.
