I agree. I try to have two to three glasses of wine a week because it's supposed to be healthier than not drinking (to the point where some health insurers charge more if you do not drink at all) but I only do it on set days because I worry that social drinking would cause me to lose control
It reminds me of a French anti drinking campaign where a charity created a fake influencer on Instagram and posted as "her" for several months and then revealed that in every one of her pictures (including at home, etc) she was drinking, which would put her far beyond healthy limits but none of her followers ever noticed because they were so used to seeing it as normal
Stupid isn't it. Because I'd give anything to be boring and normal and not suffer with anxiety and panic disorder. Knock on wood the last 3 months I've not had either
I was talking to my flatmate the other day about how i don't think there's anyone I know in America who drinks well not in the close circle of my sober partner and he said he doesn't think he knows anyone who doesn't drink. There's a whole discussion there in itself..
White chocolate isn’t chocolate. It just tastes of solidified fat and probably is.
- I can tolerate a milky bar, providing it is in button form though, but any other white chocolate is foul.
Don't know anyone that drinks! That does not compute. Pretty much all social events revolve around drinking. You get the odd T totaller who is usually religious or an alcoholic, but to not know anyone that drinks. Weird.
I think you misread my post.. In America I don't know anyone who drinks. in the UK i and my flatmate don't know anyone who doesnt drink in the UK and he thinks i am weird for wanting to give up for various reasons. You can actually go to a social event and not drink alcohol. "Other beverages are available" I don't think there is anything religious or alcoholic about most of the people I know in America who doesn't drink alcohol - none of them are religious and and only a couple of people say that they had a drink problem before they gave up.
If anything else doesn't compute feel free to ask away... happy to clear up
McDonald’s happy meal toys are tit now compared to when I was a child, they seem to be mostly made of cardboard and it barely lasts 5 minutes. Bring back the plastic tat, at least it lasted longer than the cardboard tat.
If you have more than 2 glasses of wine in America they want to do an intervention!
Seriously though, my husband doesn't drink at all. Hasn't had a drink in about 30 years. He did occasionally when he was younger but says he just doesn't like it. My daughter hasn't had a drink for about 16 months. Again, she said she just doesn't like it and only previously had a drink as it was expected when going out with her friends.
I make up for both of them
Someone I know is desperate for that label but really she’s a lazy mother. She lets him run riot and doesn’t even attempt to discipline him because “he’s autistic” despite never having seen a doctor. She’d rather be on her phone
No, I got that you were saying no one you knew in the us drinks. I still think it's weird.
Yes there are other drinks available, but they're pretty pointless. Who wants to sit sipping orange juice all night.
I can understand that some people don't drink often. But to never drink just because, it's strange to me. No champagne at celebrations, no nulled wine in the winter, no wine with a meal, no beer at a festival.
I work with a guy who never drinks. He says he doesn’t like the taste. I think he’s an alcoholic and therefore can’t drink. I don’t understand ‘doesn’t like the taste’ beer taste completely different to champagne
I don’t drink because I don’t like the feeling of being drunk. I also have horrendous stomach cramps, the runs, headaches and hot sweats after alcohol. I just don’t like it.
I’m confident enough to not drink and still enjoy nights out just as much as the people who do drink. Alcohol is not the be all and end all of social events.
I don’t have a problem with people who do drink. & I never question them on why they do. But so many people question me on my reasons for not drinking. I find that strange.
People who find non-drinkers strange, are actually the strange ones. We’re just loving life on our OJ’s we don’t give a duck who drinks or not.
Are you basing that on anything other than the fact you don't understand someone just doesn't like it?
Make it make sense?!?! I don't like the taste of alcohol and I might have ONE drink a year, normally for Xmas day or NY eve. How do you get to we must be alcoholics?
Isn’t it odd that if someone says they don’t smoke no one questions it, but if they say they don’t drink it’s viewed as weird? Alcohol is arguably every bit as bad for the health as tobacco but in the UK at least it feels almost obligatory.
In fairness the OP didn't say that anyone who doesn't drink is an alcoholic. She said that she thinks that about a particular person she works with
Coffee.
It’s vile and stinks.
Coffee shops are over priced and they stink.
Tiramisu is minging.
I’m actually jealous because some cups of coffee look lovely and I see the enjoyment on peoples faces when they drink it, but nope, sorry, it stinks
