I have never touched the stuff. It is still illegal for me to drink here in the US but a ton of my friends/classmates do. It kind of sucks sometimes because people call me the goodie goodie because I don't drink and they make fun. I think it is really stupid of them to do that because I don't judge them for drinking but they judge me for not drinking. So yeah I don't plan on drinking until I am of age and even then I don't think I will drink much if any. I am clumsy enough as it is I don't need any more help. :smile:
 
I'm the only person who put "Other".... I feel all alone now...


Anyway the reason I did was because I have never been completely drunk. Not because I don't drink, but because I don't see the point. It's much more fun to watch other people get completely wasted - or, since the thread titled "Alcohol" seems to have drawn out all the Scots: pished! I'll happily drink, but not to the point where I won't remember things or pass out. That's no fun!

'pished', lol!
Yeah, the Scots jumped all over this thread, haha. Makes us look like raging alcoholics😉

I love your sig!!
I'm another of the haven't-touched-alcohol clan. Mostly I just have no desire to drink, and I agree with Lyri--I prefer to remember the previous night when I get up in the morning.

Some of my friends drink. Easily half the kids in my grade did as well. But I've got a group of close friends who don't drink, which is great. My best friend from elementary school on to a few years ago got really into the whole partying scene, which I didn't like but didn't try to change. When she made it my issue was where I drew the line. And I don't see myself drinking at all when I'm of age either. I've done the whole designated driver thing and I think I like it better.

Plus, alcoholic beverages have a tendency to smell awful.
 
I was 22 and on my honeymoon. We were waiting for the horse drawn carriage tour and the only thing that was open was a martini bar, so we went in and I tried one. I didn't like the martini. Honestly, I don't like the scent of alcohol and I don't like fruit, so there aren't many alcoholic drinks that appeal to me.

I now drink socially so as not to look completely weird, but I only do so in moderation. I've been drunk only a couple of times. Mostly, I dislike the feeling (although I can hold it well for such a tiny person and don't get sick the next morning). I'm kind of a control freak, so feeling all relaxed and free makes me uncomfortable. I also talk non-stop when drunk, which can get kind of embarrassing, so I prefer to avoid the drinky drinky. I usually don't drink. If I do, it usually involves sipping the same rum and coke all night long.
 
I was definitely younger than 14 - but then I did stuff when I was younger that I wouldn't consider doing now 'lol' I can remember many a drunken night - note I said 'remember' - I've never been that bad that I woke up the next morning not remembering what happened the night before! I used to drink alot when I was younger, you know, going out clubbing Thur-Sun, spending loads of money etc. Rebelling against a restrictive childhood I think looking back.

I wouldn't dream of doing that now though, and although I still like a drink, fave tipple being whiskey, I don't go to extremes - with 5 kids having a hangover is so not a good idea 'lol'. I like to be 'relaxed' and have a good time, and I'm not saying that I couldn't do the same without alcohol, but I enjoy the taste and don't do it all the time, so when I do have a drink, I enjoy it. These days it tends to be social gatherings, if it's just me and the hubby, then I might have the odd bottle of lager, or glass of wine, but that's it, aqnd that's not very often as we don't actually go anywhere because of having the kids - we don't like dumping them on other people so we tend to stay in ALOT!
 
Well I feel like a teenage tearaway. I was 13 and at a church function. We'd had a party to welcome the new vicar, and my friends and took a bottle of wine off one of the tables and went and hid in a room and drank it. We got in so much trouble off our parents but at least our first time drunk was in a safe environment... hangover at school the next day wasn't great though especially as we were all in a school play and I was the lead! lol
 
14. We were on a class trip and everyone was pretty much drinking so I figured what the heck and just did it myself. Most people were seriously impressed by the amount of straight vodka I could just drink in one go. Though most people knew it was my first time doing serious drinking, it was unfortunately only after I started barfing that they told me I wasn't supposed to mix any hardcore alcoholic substances with others. Not really that good of an experience. But hey, at least it was the only time ever alcohol brang me down like that, never had to deal with the throwing up again so far.

Nope. Sure haven't.
I was 14 and I was on a school trip. Almost everybody had alcohol with them. I was in the room at the ground floor with two other girls. Firstly we were supposed to go to the first floor because there was going to be a party but when we came back from the bathroom teachers didn't let us go there.
So we decided to drink beer in our room. Later came two another girls and they were SERIOUSLY drunk. They wanted to get to the first floor and climbed the rainspout but they fell off so they came to us. They brought vodka with them.
We drank it and after some time they came back to their rooms. We almost got caught because one of the teachers heard something and knocked to our door. We decided we wouldn't open it and waited as he left. The other day when I opened the door he was already standing there( like in a movie) and said: " Ladies didn't open the door last night. Why?" I said: "Hmm..Ummm... We didn't hear it" I had to be the one who opened the door!
I tried alcohol before that but it were little amounts.
The whole thing seemed fun but at the morning I woke up in the room dirty like hell full of the smell of vodka and cigarettes ( the girls who visited us were smoking).
I had a headache too. I wanted so much to go home but we had another day of sightseeing. Now I don't really count it as one of my best experiences.
 
sounds a bit like a school trip i had where the following day we went up the Eiffel tower and the photos of us up there look horrible, it was like February and wer all huddled up with big coats and scarfs and mittens trying to hide our bloodshot eyes from the night before... aaaah memories. that morning it was horrible trying to avoid teachers, and looking down at the table at breakfast so they couldnt smell the alcohol on us or see how bad we looked since we had gotten no sleep.

it was confusing enough that there were three Rachel's on the trip (me being one of them so we all went by othernames)
 
Aside from taking the odd sip of parent's wine (and cringing at the tender age I was! That stuff is bitter!), my first real encounter with alcohol was at age 13. A friend of mine had an older sister who had bought a bottle of vodka and we broke into it one night. Starting taking sips straight from the bottle-- got a little tipsy but nothing major. Back then it was just so "taboo" that we couldn't bring ourselves to have anymore than a couple sips :silly: Probably for the best!

Had a couple experiences since then (including being one of those pitiful criers at a school dance a few years back, and a very barf-tastic new years eve *cringes*), turned me off of it quite promptly. I still enjoy a drink every now and again, but for the most part I've learned to stay away from it.

One of the whole seven people in my area who don't drink, mind you 😉

Yeah. Being a non-drinker is not really great for the social life. Much better for the digestion and the wallet, though. It's a trade-off.
When you went to high school in a super-small farming town, what else it there to do? 🙂

We always went out to the 'field' during our senior year of high school. So, that'd be 17 years old for me. Once you get over the novelty of feeling not good the next day, it kinda becomes something worthless.

I've only been out one time since becoming legal age with some friends from college. That was almost five years ago.

It also doesn't help when you have a diabetic friend be seriously stupid and not eat much during the day, nor take his insulin shot and do many jello shots in one evening. You kind of sober up real quick and don't really feel like doing all that anymore when you're driving him to the hospital and then driving to his house to wake up his parents and let them know that their son is getting his stomach pumped at the emergency room. That totally puts it all in perspective.

i had a lot of good times at the top of our school field
First time I was drunk I was 17, and I was pretty straight edge before that, really.. After that I drank quite often though, but it's legal from 18 in Sweden so I was pretty late with starting to drink I guess.. which I don't regret or anything lol..
 
Hmmm, I think I was 16 when I first got officially drunk. I was at a convention. After that I didn't drink much, only at conventions really because I find it safest to drink there. A confined location. Staying in a hotel. No worry of driving home. Safe with my friends. It works for me.

Now, obviously, I drink at parties with friends, but that's about it.

I think I didn't go crazy with alcohol as some teens do because my mom made alcohol okay. She used to give me a glass of wine with dinner every now and then.
 
first time i was ever drunk was at 15 and it was bad!!!! my friends got me to take vodka shots and i hadnt eaten at all that day... suffice to say the night didnt last long

worst part was my brother(who is 3 years older then me and is a heavy drinker) told my parents the next day
