I'm a 21 year old lad and I'm the nicest guy sober but when alcohol is in my system it turns me into a nasty argumentative arrogant arse wipe so I don't drink anymore plus I get no benefit whatsoever if I'm not angry I'm depressed with booze inside me. it's overrated I prefer been sober.
Since you first talked about not drinking alcohol I thought about quitting drinking it a lot and I even asked u for advice and reasons to stop drinking it and you really encouraged me to really quit. It never did anything good to me and I almost only had shitty experiences with alcohol and being drunk. Thank you for helping me 💖
AMEN! It's a shame that society deems you weird if you choose not to drink. People ask me, I tell them I don't drink, then their response is immediately why?! And from there onwards, they insist and insist on buying me a drink or interrogating me on my reasons why I don't drink. I could ask the drinkers the same question, do you drink because you're too insecure to act like an idiot without it? is it because of peer pressure? Well, my answer is damn simple and legit; it's because I don't like the taste. (Oh and I am doing a great job of dancing like an idiot without the help of alcohol, thanks).
I've been dying to visit Germany for the longest time, can you talk about your favorite things to do or go? From your vids I see that there are so many vegan friendly places and it looks so beautiful!
hey kicki! can u talk about your confidence, and how you've achieved that mindset? also! how you stay motivated to learn for exams? :p Who are your inspiration? I really would love to hear
I love this kind of talking videos Kicki's making. You get completely sucked into her stories, making it almost impossible to click away. Please make more of these if you want to! They are extremely interesting and helpful :))
When you think about it alcohol is poison, and you were experiencing an episode of alcohol poisoning. Thank goodness you lived to tell your story, some people don't.
im in that point at school where most people are drinking and taking drugs and tbh it scares me knowing the side effects. seeing the culture that has to developed around teenage alcohol consumption is frightening. it's seen as 'cool' but i think it's better to stick to what you believe in than try to fit in. thank you for this video Kicki 💕
I clicked on this video because I actually asked myself if something is wrong with me See, i'm in this holdiaycamp with other teenagers and it's only the 2nd day and they drink literally 24/7 I'm 15 and older than some of them and they laugh at me for not drinking and i'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't drink
Believe me, then the shit is about to happen to them, you be the one laughing haha but for real younger than 15 and drinking? that's obiously not good 😞
this shit's been happening to me since I was like 13, I've never touched alcohol and I'm 18 now and I still haven't. straight edge is a great lifestyle, you're the captain of your own ship
I can advise you to never drink alcohol. I have been grown up with a father that sometimes would drink too much (he didnt had a grate time after that). I wont ever drink. I hate it when teenagers are pretending to be "cool" by drinking. Alcohol really wont do anything good for you. Just like smoking.
My worst experience with alcohol was in 2008, my co worker and I both worked at this little bakery in New York and became friends. She was like 3 years younger than me. I told her I never drank before so she invited me to her house and we had a few bottles of hard lemonade/malt beverages. Like 4 bottles in I was a twisty girl, could barely make it down the stairs. Her mother comes home unexpectedly and the girl low key freaks out and just wants to get me out of her house as quickly as possible so her mother wouldn't notice so this bitch walks me to the train station and just leaves me there. Never drink with friends who don't care about you rule #1.
Idk if it was just me but I got low key emotional af when you were talking about being lost in the wrong train station. You're a really good story teller, and I could 101% imagine how scared and lost you must've felt. My experience is also similar with alcohol where i just can't drink without feeling absolutely shitty. After a kick back with my friends in college where I threw up 2-3 times, I don't even like smelling alcohol without feeing nauseating. My heart beats really fast and my head hurts and there are just too many cons. Maybe our bodies are allergic to alcohol Lol. Also, I'm loving tea time! Please do lots of these talking videos, this was so fun and interesting! ♥️
Whenever I tell people that I'm just not interested in drinking/don't have a taste for it they just say "oh you just haven't drank enough" or "you just haven't had good alcohol" and I'm BITCH excuse me?? We have different taste buds and I like being in control of my body. I'm right there w u Kicki 😽
Well.... my parents sometimes watch my videos 😅 to make it short: I'm not an extreme stoner tho but I had good experiences only with weed and I don't understand why alcohol is legal and weed is not.
When I drink, I feel depressed, dizzy and extremely sick.. and the worst thing is that I have a hangover which lasts for a week. So I don't drink either, it doesn't have ANY positive effects for me
I never ever liked how I felt while I was drinking and I'm a control freak so I hate not having control over my head. Haven't had alcohol for almost two years now. Woop woop!
I really feel you! I really don't like drinking very often, but sometimes I feel very forced to do it anyways. I mean, I know I have a choice, but when your out with friends and their wasted as fuck, they're always hating so much if your sober. Or just a mess to be around cause they don't even remember their own name haha. I definitely think drinking can be fun in the moment (if your not too wasted ofc) and I do it occasionally, but the day after and the things it does to your body is awful. And I also just hate the way of thinking that (especially where I live) "you can't have fun without alcohol". btw THAT SWEATSHIRT
I love what you said, “When you have the strength to say ‘no’, that makes you the coolest person in that group”. So very true. Being true to yourself is the coolest thing you can do...at any age.
I'm really thankful that you made a video like this. I personally don't drink either but sadly it's not really accepted. My friends are always drinking alcohol when there's a opportunity for it. I'm always denying the offers to drink with them but they start to judge me because I don't want to drink. They call me a coward and a party pooper and put this kind of pressure on me to join their drinking. I don't feel really comfortable with drinking alcohol because it's poison which is slowly destroying your body and I don't really get the point why I should do it for "fun". I'm alright with everyone who still drinks if they do it for real reasons like they enjoying vine for instance. But I think people should understand and accept if someone doesn't want to join drinking. I'm really happy that you also have a similar point of view and you are also someone who proves everyone wrong who claims that partying without liquor isn't fun.
No you aren't!! Don't think that.. I myself am the only one in my group of friends who doesn't drink alcohol and I think it's totally okay :) it's not weird at all :D
you're not! I mean I drink occasially, but I would never judge somebody for not doing it. ffs, it's poison for our body, you're smart if you don't drink alcohol :D
I'm sooooo glad you made the video. I hate alcohol. Never been drunk. Have always despised the taste. I just never got into the whole drinking phenomenon and I think I'm a pretty cool chick. I was embarrassed to admit this to people for so long but then one day I realized I really don't give a shit what people think. I'm doing me and saving myself tons of money and hangovers. I still go out and have fun but I drink a seltzer instead. I loooove to dance and love music, that's my high. Wish you lived closer to NYC so we could hang, haha. :)
Loved this video Kicki. Good for you for deciding what is best for you and going against the huge drinking culture that's currently present in our generation (even though you're a little younger than me). I don't really drink either for similar reasons because I don't love the taste and I like being in control of myself. I really like sangria though, but I never have a good experience every time I imbibe in a glass.
i just discovered your channel and i finally i've found someone like me. I don't drink alcohol because it doesn't taste good and i don't need to drink alcohol to """"fit in"""". I'd rather be sober than completely drunk and slaughtered. People do not really understand why i do not drink alcohol (even champaign doesn't taste good for me) but i clearly feel good without alcohol, I can dance, talk with people, find my way back home. And i can help my friends who are completely drunk too ! I really like your personality and i feel bad because 3 months ago i was in Berlin and i didn't know your channel yet and it would have been great to meet you :'( Keep on shining !!!xoxoxoxo
i know this video is old but i just wanted to say it took me 7 years of shit like this happening to me to realise alcohol was one of my biggest problems. I'm at uni and it's such a maaassive drinking culture that you're expected to pretty much be either always drunk or always hungover. It got to the point where i felt like drinking a bottle of wine a night ON MY OWN in my room was acceptable and just part of the student lifestyle and that no one my age can have genuine alcoholism bc fuck its all for the sesh right?! fuck that i love being sober and it's so uplifting to see more young people coming forward and saying fuck u to alcohol
I had to come back to watch this video after having the worst experience, like it was so bad that I thought I was going to die because it was my first time getting high, EVER, and I just felt so out of control with reality and I felt so tired. I kept thinking about this video and about how you felt and it was comforting because even though these was your experience with alcohol, I imagine it was just like my experience. I just kept thinking, "It's okay, remember how Kicki felt? And she's fine!" It was just sooo scary lol
Ugh I felt so bad for you, must've been terrible... I don't drink alcohol too and totally agree with you! I just wanted to add that even if you're not confident (I wouldn't call myself confident) you shouldn't drink it. You'll find other ways to open up to ppl but alcohol should never be your option just so you don't seem shy. Actually - being shy is fine. :) I'm sure you didn't mean it that way when you said "If you're confident and don't need it, don't do it" but just in case someone misunderstood I wanted to emphasize that if you're not confident you don't have to do it either way. :) btw - I'm pretty fascinated by how beautiful you are and I love hearing you talk so I would appreciate more of these kind of videos! :D Have a nice day :)
The first video of yours I ever watched was a talky one (Your 'Why I became vegan' video) and even though I love your vlogs and 'crazy edited' videos just as much, listening to you chat was what made me subscribe in the first place. Definitely would be cool to see you do more of this format!
i'm in my 20s, didn't have bad experience with alcohol. tried some wine, beer, champagne, whiskey but never liked. all i could taste is rubbing alcohol. i don't enjoy drinking. and yes ppl can have fun being sober.
holy shit that story is intense! I'm glad you made it home safe and didn't just pass out at the train station... oh god, so scary. I've also had quite a few horrible situations but I guess I still haven't learnt my lesson lol
Ich verfolge dich schon sehr lange auf Facebook und bin sehr froh, dass du wieder aktiv TH-cam Videos machst! Deine Videos sind super und man kann dir so gut zuhören. Mach weiter so!
I don't really understand why drinking alcohol is so enjoyable (probably because I have never tried) and i'm glad I haven't tried and don't plan to after watching this
Babe I feel ya pain! I feel that now I may just be straight up allergic. Any alcohol goes straight to my head and makes me feel ill immediately. It's not worth it. Continue to be high on life and live the vegan life. It changed me and I certainly think you and I are the same in this way. Be good to yourself, be good to your family and good to the planet. Peace and Love
This is a really, really cool video. Thank you for the inspiration. I was listening to you and it reminded me of one of my alcoholic experiences where I ended up being smashed and disgusting and probably dangerous to myself and to others. And that was 8 fucking years ago. I kept drinking since then, like socially. So I always wonder: why doesn't a bad experience ever stops m, or never makes me realise shit? You tell your story and got a lesson out of it, and made choices for your life. I never do. What the actual fuck.
a lot of us asians lack the enzyme alcohol dehydronase. not only do we get "asian flush" or glow, but we just can't metabolize it properly thus the effects get emphasized. I feel you !
Thank you, thank you so much for telling your attitude towards alcohol because I have nearly the same experience with alcohol and then I realized that I do not like the taste of alcohol and the hangover day afterwards anyway and the behavior of drunk people is so shitty and sometimes annoying. My problem is, though, that not everyone will understand that I do not drink alcohol, they will persuade me but I resist of course. Sometimes I feel like I am excluded from society just because I do not drink. Do you have the same experience or is it just about the people I meet and about getting used to the fact that their friend (me, obviously) is not drinking? Of course my best and closest friends understand but the others not. Thanks and I love your channel!
I've just watched your german video and I can't understand the hate on your english? It's good and you don't have a strong accent like many germans do... :) keep it up
you are the living evidence that it's possible to have fun being sober! :) ♥ I've actually never been drunk, because I don't like the effect alcohol has on me even when I take just a little sip (I get headaches and get kind of aggressive.. I am half-asian, so maybe that's why), and I also can't cope with drunk people: I think it makes you unattractive and annoying. I seriously can't bear seeing people I like drunk, because they act like a different (less loveable) person :( the only "problem" I have is that I actually really like the taste of some alcoholic beverages, like baileys or federweißer, so I am always looking for non-alcoholic substitutes that taste similarly :D
To me that sounds like every weekend from age 15-17 and thinking about it makes me sick. Especially vodka. I drink to the point where I can't stand anymore or I don't drink at all. Still working on the in between..
I love your videos and I agree I hate getting drunk, because I get the worst hangovers so now when I drink I know my limits and only drink until I feel a little buzzed then I stop. I prefer to be the mother of the group and take care of my friends, that way I still have fun but I know everyone is safe, works for me :)
I don't really drink and I always wonder why it seems so weird to others, like why is drinking alcohol considered normal and if you don't do it people don't really seem to understand. Guess that's just one of the things people just start doing without questioning it, but I think it's okay as long as it's in moderate amounts which usually sadly isn't how it is. Anyway, enjoyed listening to you talking about your experience, hopefully you inspire someone to rethink their habits too!
hab' dich heute entdeckt und liebe deine art jetzt schon. :) vor allem find ich's nice, das du deine videos in englisch gestaltest. ich mag's und man kann dich gut verstehen, i dunno was die meisten deutschsprachigen haben.. 🙈 btw; ich werd' in 5 tagen 18 und ich hab noch nie so wirklich alkohol getrunken, wozu auch? ist total useless. von daher thumps up an dich, dass du es auch nicht mehr machst. ^.~
I totally get what you're saying. One time I actually mixed two types of alcohol and I had no clue what that would do to me and I straight up thought I am going to die! So, lesson learned.... from now on if you drink you have to do it in a responsible way.
i don't drink either! it's never agreed with me. it makes my anxiety so much worse. i wish i had the option but i know it'll always be a bad decision. i really respect that you don't drink either
Ich hatte auch mal einen mega absturz durch Vodka. Seitdem Tag an kann ich keinen Vodka mehr trinken. Mir wird sofort schlecht...was ich sagen will ist..i feel you girl! Man braucht echt keinen Alkohol um Spaß zu haben. Tolles Video! Hab einen schönen Tag;)
I don't like drinking alcohol either. I've never had a bad experience with it (probably because I never drank enough to actually get drunk) but just the thought of losing control over my body gives me panic attacks. With my anxiety and phobia of anything related to vomit I can't even be around people who are intoxicated. The only time I will drink is if I'm on vacation at like a cocktail bar, where people don't drink just to get drunk, plus cocktails are the only alcoholic drinks I think can taste quite nice. It sucks though when people think that you're uptight just for not liking it :D
Hallo Kicki ich habe dein video über konstruktive kritik gesehen. Es stimmt, dass deine englische Aussprache vielleicht etwas deutsch ist. Aber ich habe gemerkt, dass deine Aussprache nach 3 Min Video einfach mal total natürlich wird haha rede dich vor einem video vielleicht einfach ein paar Minuten vor der Kamera oder dem Spiegel ein. Love :)
Deine story war richtig spannend! Mach doch mal ein Video wo du über deine ersten Erfahrungen mit Jungs redest oder etwas in die Richtung, wenn es was zu erzählen gibt ;) Ooooder du redest über die Orte wo du dich am liebsten aufhältst in deiner Stadt.
Ich habe auch aufgehört. Inzwischen sind es 10 Monate ohne und ich fühle mich super und bin stolz auf mich, dass ich auch feiern gehen kann ohne Alk. Und am nächsten Tag kann ich früh aufstehen und hab was vom Tag, während meine Freunde alle im Saufkoma liegen. Inzwischen hab ich auch Komplimente zu meinem Aussehen bekommen. Nicht mehr so aufgequollen und fertig.. Ich fühle mich super ohne Alkohol. Ich will ja nicht sagen, dass Alkohol einfach nur scheiße ist, aber ich hatte genauso schlechte Erfahrungen und ich denke ich brauche das einfach nicht in meinem Leben. Wer ähnlich denkt kann ja mal eine Testphase machen. Einen Monat ohne oder so. Ist aber keine Empfehlung oder Ansage, sondern nur meine Meinung.
I studied in South Korea and there student life was all about alcohol. Some students were not invited to parties/trips just because they didn't drink alcohol. Sometimes older students would force freshmen to drink. I always told them that they can refuse, it's their life and body anyway. Alcohol is good with food but getting drunk is so overrated...
I've had a really similar situation. I also drank too much alcohol before going to a club with some people, then started feeling horrible and threw up on the couch there. I wasn't close with the people that i went with and i didn't want to bother them any further (they had to clean everything up after me), so some random guy walked me to the closest subway and put me on the right train. Luckily i got out on the right station and walked home. My parents never found out thank god.
Hi Kicki! can I use a part of your experience for my story? I'm using it as an experience for my main character on wattpad. Just want to let you know since I love you lol!
I am rewatching this video right now and after the first time I watched it, I realized that I didn't want to drink alcohol anymore because even if it doesn't make me sick I still feel how my energy lowers down the day after and also in general and I realized how different I behaved, how many things I said and did that I regret the next day but still somehow after a few weeks of not drinking with friends I came back to it because ( and that is what I realized just a few days ago ) it "helped" me with my problems...of course it didn't but of course I did not realize this. First problem solved: I can talk to people comfortably, I feel comfortable in my skin and confident with everything Isay...does not matter what it is. Second problem solved: I don't feel alone in a group of drunk, talkative people. So why did I still feel shit in general? I realized that all of this was temporary and also most of it was fake. Most of the people I liked when I drank I didn't like for real, most "friends" I only saw when we met up to drink and also I didn't get more comfortable in my skin in general but just when I was drunk. Also I realized that I hated being drunk, I have a phobia and it is the phobia of vomiting and all related to it but STILL I got so hogh from being comfortable in my skin that I sometimes took that risk and of course hated myself when I got sick for real. So...I realized that I hate feeling our of control physically, I hate to feel out of control mentally and the only thing I loved alcohol for was the confidence boost I got with other people. I even felt shit when I drank with my best friends because there I didn't get that confident high because I already was confident in front of them so I just felt the effects of alcohol in a raw way and regretted it...this is a very unstructured long-ass comment but seems like I needed to get some things off my chest. The point is ( I guess ) that I used alcohol in hopes of being more comfortable in my own skin in front of people I didn't know very well and after realizing it I now know which areas in my life I need to work on. Videos like this help me to not give in to that peer pressure and stay true to my values! Thanks for that video!!!
I think the throwing up every time you have vodka now might be a bit of classical conditioning; my mom is the same way with anything containing rum. She had a really terrible experience and now every time she has it, she gets sick. In the Caribbean drinking is pretty heavily embedded in the culture, and most of us seem to have a pretty high alcohol tolerance (I'm the type of weirdo who likes beer or straight scotch when I go out, I actually think they taste good xD). The first thing my parents told me about drinking was to be careful about the mixed ones...precisely because the alcohol is so hard to detect. Luckily I hate sweets so I just avoided them anyway. Thanks to the high tolerance I've never managed to get terribly drunk, and this just made me want to avoid it even more ._.
the origins of the straight edge movement didn't cut out caffeine - it's more about that positive state of mind and always acting consciously and considerately :)
i can agree, every time i drink i only feel slightly good on the comeup, an hour later im nauseous and it goes on until the next day. alcohol sucks and makes your makeup smear. never drink alone either its so depressing lol
oh my gosh one time i was drinking and i woke up next to my friend in her bed and i was like "wow i slept so soundly" and she laughed and said i almost tried to pee in her closet at 6am so yeah im on a tea break. great vid!
Beer or cider is ok. Every time I have drunk strong drinks in the past it usually didn't end very well. Either I fell asleep on someone's sofa or on one occasion I had my wallet stolen. I think I have been 'all or nothing' with alcohol at times, which isn't a good way to be. I do like a drink and the feeling of being 'merry', or 'tipsy', but being 'drunk' sucks. You feel ill and feel lousy the next day! Now, I choose to abstain from drink.
nice video. i understand y u dont frink alcohol anymore :). i like cocktails like frozen magharita passion or drinks like vodka lemon.. but u have to enjoy it and dont drink to much from it :D i hope i will never get in a situation as u described..
8 ปีที่แล้ว
I get the whole "vodka makes me vomit" stuff. Cause this Halloween I got pretty drunk, and I threw up and stuff. Now even thinking about drinking alcohol makes me feel nauseous. Like, my birthday was last Wednesday and my mom was asking me if I wanted wine or champagne and I was like "nope, no more of this shit for me".
one of my friends once told me that vodka and orange juice isn't a great mix at all? idk I don't drink that much, and I agree that alcohol tastes like shit but like, I kinda like the feeling when I get light headed a little bit? it's like I don't have to worry and think about stressful things anymore? I like that feeling. I tend to know when I should not cross the line and be totally drunk though so yeah! also chatty videos would be so so amazing!
I don't drink alcohol either. I'm a shy girl and it takes me some time to start dancing and alcohol might help me to feel more confident but I just think "why should I drink alcohol to act differently than I am?". It might take me some time but still I can have fun without it.
Actually had a similar experience - but not with alcohol, it was when I had food poisoning, lol. I personally do drink occasionally, but I'm always quite responsible, only vomited once when I celebrated my graduation. I really only drink for the taste, like wine and cocktails and stuff, not for the sensation of being drunk.
Du musst manchmal aufpassen wenn du in der Vergangenheit sprichst, zum Beispiel hast du einmal "didn't thought" und einmal "didn't saw" gesagt, es müsste aber "didn't think" bzw "didn't see" heißen, weil die Vergangenheit ja bereits durch das "did" ausgedrückt wurde und es ansonsten doppelt wäre (so habe ich es mir immer gemerkt). :)
When I was 16 (2 years ago) I used to drink a lot but now I practically don´t. The reason why I drank so much was because I was not in a good place mentally but luckily I am okay now and I do not crave alc anymore. I barely ever drink nowadays and when I do, I know my limit
I don't even know what to add because it feels like you spoke for me! I had the same experience (but with champagne) and my attitude and reasons i don't drink alcohol is the exact same are yours (=
I did a lot of underage drinking but I knew how to control myself but than one day on news years my sister had a party and she had sujo and everything went down hill.... I regret it so much because I did a lot of stupid shit that night and threw up everywhere (lost like 5 pounds from it) since that day they have been making fun of me even tho I said many times that I was very depressed that day and needed to loosen up (I didn't expect to get that fucked up tho) I went to a party with them and they started telling people about it and I felt so embarrassed and sad that I couldn't even enjoy the drink I had.
i live in Friuli Venezia Giulia, a small region in italy. Here it's common (somewhat a tradition?) to drink wine. Everywhere you go here, you have to drink, even the old people meet in bars and drink a lot. The young people keep on drinking to have fun because there's nothing to do here, so you know, boredom and all that jazz makes the people want t get shitfaced. I was never a really heavy drinker but it's been a couple of years that drinking make me feel bad. Plus, i can't get my head around this thing because why can't you have fun without it? i'm not against it but when it because A NEED if not you haven't fun then i'm against. I know what you mean about confidence but i feel that many can't seem to face life without the help of something (would this be alcohol, pot, cigarettes or other things). I repeat i am not against any of that but the exaggeration makes me wonder about this things. Great video by the way, i'm all up to this kind of chatty videos on your channel!
I'm a 21 year old lad and I'm the nicest guy sober but when alcohol is in my system it turns me into a nasty argumentative arrogant arse wipe so I don't drink anymore plus I get no benefit whatsoever if I'm not angry I'm depressed with booze inside me. it's overrated I prefer been sober.
Since you first talked about not drinking alcohol I thought about quitting drinking it a lot and I even asked u for advice and reasons to stop drinking it and you really encouraged me to really quit. It never did anything good to me and I almost only had shitty experiences with alcohol and being drunk. Thank you for helping me 💖
götlandgirl
I quitted too ... 10 months ago ... and I feel so much better and look so much healthier than before! :)
Gökce Yanak i am also not drinking it and I am so happy with it. Hope you treat your body still nicely! Much love 🌼
AMEN! It's a shame that society deems you weird if you choose not to drink. People ask me, I tell them I don't drink, then their response is immediately why?! And from there onwards, they insist and insist on buying me a drink or interrogating me on my reasons why I don't drink. I could ask the drinkers the same question, do you drink because you're too insecure to act like an idiot without it? is it because of peer pressure?
Well, my answer is damn simple and legit; it's because I don't like the taste. (Oh and I am doing a great job of dancing like an idiot without the help of alcohol, thanks).
if you have any recommendations for tea time videos, pls tell me under this comment ✨
have a nice day 😊
I've been dying to visit Germany for the longest time, can you talk about your favorite things to do or go? From your vids I see that there are so many vegan friendly places and it looks so beautiful!
hey kicki! can u talk about your confidence, and how you've achieved that mindset? also! how you stay motivated to learn for exams? :p
Who are your inspiration? I really would love to hear
Do a style revolution video
Tips for uni freshmen and your experience when starting uni :) Would be super dope since I'm starting my uni in October
I also wanna hear boy stories
I love this kind of talking videos Kicki's making. You get completely sucked into her stories, making it almost impossible to click away. Please make more of these if you want to! They are extremely interesting and helpful :))
I agree, I love Kicki's stories. I love getting to know her better
When you think about it alcohol is poison, and you were experiencing an episode of alcohol poisoning. Thank goodness you lived to tell your story, some people don't.
okay you can chill, plenty of people have bad times on alcohol and throw up its not a crisis event
im in that point at school where most people are drinking and taking drugs and tbh it scares me knowing the side effects. seeing the culture that has to developed around teenage alcohol consumption is frightening. it's seen as 'cool' but i think it's better to stick to what you believe in than try to fit in. thank you for this video Kicki 💕
don't let anyone force you to do something you don't want to 👊🏻
I clicked on this video because I actually asked myself if something is wrong with me
See, i'm in this holdiaycamp with other teenagers and it's only the 2nd day and they drink literally 24/7
I'm 15 and older than some of them and they laugh at me for not drinking and i'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't drink
You go mate! Don't give in to peer pressure ;D
Believe me, then the shit is about to happen to them, you be the one laughing haha but for real younger than 15 and drinking? that's obiously not good 😞
this shit's been happening to me since I was like 13, I've never touched alcohol and I'm 18 now and I still haven't. straight edge is a great lifestyle, you're the captain of your own ship
I can advise you to never drink alcohol. I have been grown up with a father that sometimes would drink too much (he didnt had a grate time after that). I wont ever drink.
I hate it when teenagers are pretending to be "cool" by drinking. Alcohol really wont do anything good for you. Just like smoking.
My worst experience with alcohol was in 2008, my co worker and I both worked at this little bakery in New York and became friends. She was like 3 years younger than me. I told her I never drank before so she invited me to her house and we had a few bottles of hard lemonade/malt beverages. Like 4 bottles in I was a twisty girl, could barely make it down the stairs. Her mother comes home unexpectedly and the girl low key freaks out and just wants to get me out of her house as quickly as possible so her mother wouldn't notice so this bitch walks me to the train station and just leaves me there. Never drink with friends who don't care about you rule #1.
Idk if it was just me but I got low key emotional af when you were talking about being lost in the wrong train station. You're a really good story teller, and I could 101% imagine how scared and lost you must've felt.
My experience is also similar with alcohol where i just can't drink without feeling absolutely shitty. After a kick back with my friends in college where I threw up 2-3 times, I don't even like smelling alcohol without feeing nauseating. My heart beats really fast and my head hurts and there are just too many cons. Maybe our bodies are allergic to alcohol Lol. Also, I'm loving tea time! Please do lots of these talking videos, this was so fun and interesting! ♥️
Whenever I tell people that I'm just not interested in drinking/don't have a taste for it they just say "oh you just haven't drank enough" or "you just haven't had good alcohol" and I'm BITCH excuse me?? We have different taste buds and I like being in control of my body. I'm right there w u Kicki 😽
Can you do a video about your experience with weed? Weed is so much better than alcohol
I was wondering this too.
Well.... my parents sometimes watch my videos 😅 to make it short: I'm not an extreme stoner tho but I had good experiences only with weed and I don't understand why alcohol is legal and weed is not.
When I drink, I feel depressed, dizzy and extremely sick.. and the worst thing is that I have a hangover which lasts for a week. So I don't drink either, it doesn't have ANY positive effects for me
check your liver..?
my liver is ok, I'm asian and my mother has the same problems with alcohol haha
I never ever liked how I felt while I was drinking and I'm a control freak so I hate not having control over my head. Haven't had alcohol for almost two years now. Woop woop!
i actually don't drink either. it's a very rare thing for me to drink. i hateeeeeee it :x
Love the chatty videos!! You should do more!
I really feel you! I really don't like drinking very often, but sometimes I feel very forced to do it anyways. I mean, I know I have a choice, but when your out with friends and their wasted as fuck, they're always hating so much if your sober. Or just a mess to be around cause they don't even remember their own name haha. I definitely think drinking can be fun in the moment (if your not too wasted ofc) and I do it occasionally, but the day after and the things it does to your body is awful. And I also just hate the way of thinking that (especially where I live) "you can't have fun without alcohol". btw THAT SWEATSHIRT
I love what you said, “When you have the strength to say ‘no’, that makes you the coolest person in that group”. So very true. Being true to yourself is the coolest thing you can do...at any age.
I'm really thankful that you made a video like this. I personally don't drink either but sadly it's not really accepted. My friends are always drinking alcohol when there's a opportunity for it. I'm always denying the offers to drink with them but they start to judge me because I don't want to drink. They call me a coward and a party pooper and put this kind of pressure on me to join their drinking. I don't feel really comfortable with drinking alcohol because it's poison which is slowly destroying your body and I don't really get the point why I should do it for "fun". I'm alright with everyone who still drinks if they do it for real reasons like they enjoying vine for instance. But I think people should understand and accept if someone doesn't want to join drinking. I'm really happy that you also have a similar point of view and you are also someone who proves everyone wrong who claims that partying without liquor isn't fun.
true that! when u dare to say no that makes u the coolest person :)
You're one of my favourite youtubers, so glad I found your channel! You come across so friendly and down to earth and I love these chatty videos :)
Thanks Kicki. All my friends are drinking like crazy and I just don't like it. I thought I was weird or something.. 😂💕
No you aren't!! Don't think that.. I myself am the only one in my group of friends who doesn't drink alcohol and I think it's totally okay :) it's not weird at all :D
you're not! I mean I drink occasially, but I would never judge somebody for not doing it. ffs, it's poison for our body, you're smart if you don't drink alcohol :D
I'm sooooo glad you made the video. I hate alcohol. Never been drunk. Have always despised the taste. I just never got into the whole drinking phenomenon and I think I'm a pretty cool chick. I was embarrassed to admit this to people for so long but then one day I realized I really don't give a shit what people think. I'm doing me and saving myself tons of money and hangovers. I still go out and have fun but I drink a seltzer instead. I loooove to dance and love music, that's my high. Wish you lived closer to NYC so we could hang, haha. :)
omg NYC is my dream destination, I wish!! 😍😭
Loved this video Kicki. Good for you for deciding what is best for you and going against the huge drinking culture that's currently present in our generation (even though you're a little younger than me). I don't really drink either for similar reasons because I don't love the taste and I like being in control of myself. I really like sangria though, but I never have a good experience every time I imbibe in a glass.
i just discovered your channel and i finally i've found someone like me. I don't drink alcohol because it doesn't taste good and i don't need to drink alcohol to """"fit in"""". I'd rather be sober than completely drunk and slaughtered. People do not really understand why i do not drink alcohol (even champaign doesn't taste good for me) but i clearly feel good without alcohol, I can dance, talk with people, find my way back home. And i can help my friends who are completely drunk too ! I really like your personality and i feel bad because 3 months ago i was in Berlin and i didn't know your channel yet and it would have been great to meet you :'( Keep on shining !!!xoxoxoxo
Bitte bitte mach solche Videos öfters, es ist einfach so entspannend dir zuzuhören. 🙏🏻
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this story. I don't drink usually anymore and this reinforces my decision :)
Loved this chatty video and hearing why you don't drink. I quit alcohol at the start of this year too :) nice work lady xx
i know this video is old but i just wanted to say it took me 7 years of shit like this happening to me to realise alcohol was one of my biggest problems. I'm at uni and it's such a maaassive drinking culture that you're expected to pretty much be either always drunk or always hungover. It got to the point where i felt like drinking a bottle of wine a night ON MY OWN in my room was acceptable and just part of the student lifestyle and that no one my age can have genuine alcoholism bc fuck its all for the sesh right?! fuck that i love being sober and it's so uplifting to see more young people coming forward and saying fuck u to alcohol
I had to come back to watch this video after having the worst experience, like it was so bad that I thought I was going to die because it was my first time getting high, EVER, and I just felt so out of control with reality and I felt so tired. I kept thinking about this video and about how you felt and it was comforting because even though these was your experience with alcohol, I imagine it was just like my experience. I just kept thinking, "It's okay, remember how Kicki felt? And she's fine!" It was just sooo scary lol
I'm definitely never going to do that again tho. I agree with you-- feeling out of control is just not my thing
Ugh I felt so bad for you, must've been terrible... I don't drink alcohol too and totally agree with you! I just wanted to add that even if you're not confident (I wouldn't call myself confident) you shouldn't drink it. You'll find other ways to open up to ppl but alcohol should never be your option just so you don't seem shy. Actually - being shy is fine. :) I'm sure you didn't mean it that way when you said "If you're confident and don't need it, don't do it" but just in case someone misunderstood I wanted to emphasize that if you're not confident you don't have to do it either way. :)
btw - I'm pretty fascinated by how beautiful you are and I love hearing you talk so I would appreciate more of these kind of videos! :D
Have a nice day :)
Deine Einstellung und dein Selbstbewusstsein sind ein Vorbild für mich!
The first video of yours I ever watched was a talky one (Your 'Why I became vegan' video) and even though I love your vlogs and 'crazy edited' videos just as much, listening to you chat was what made me subscribe in the first place. Definitely would be cool to see you do more of this format!
i'm in my 20s, didn't have bad experience with alcohol. tried some wine, beer, champagne, whiskey but never liked. all i could taste is rubbing alcohol. i don't enjoy drinking. and yes ppl can have fun being sober.
I always get exited when you post a new video
and you've made the right decision to stop drinking
holy shit that story is intense! I'm glad you made it home safe and didn't just pass out at the train station... oh god, so scary. I've also had quite a few horrible situations but I guess I still haven't learnt my lesson lol
I respect you so much. You just do you and I admire you so much. For being Kicki, being vegan and not drinking alcohol. Much love xxx
Ich verfolge dich schon sehr lange auf Facebook und bin sehr froh, dass du wieder aktiv TH-cam Videos machst! Deine Videos sind super und man kann dir so gut zuhören. Mach weiter so!
tea time with kickiiiiiii♥♥♥
I don't really understand why drinking alcohol is so enjoyable (probably because I have never tried) and i'm glad I haven't tried and don't plan to after watching this
Oh my goodness! I'm so glad you got home safely. I've had experiences like that too. 😣But no more. Give me a smoothie or kombucha any day of the week.
Loved this. I could listen to you talk about anything. 💕
This is SO unbelievably relatable!!
Babe I feel ya pain! I feel that now I may just be straight up allergic. Any alcohol goes straight to my head and makes me feel ill immediately. It's not worth it. Continue to be high on life and live the vegan life. It changed me and I certainly think you and I are the same in this way. Be good to yourself, be good to your family and good to the planet. Peace and Love
YES! Talking videos! So here for it!
This is a really, really cool video. Thank you for the inspiration. I was listening to you and it reminded me of one of my alcoholic experiences where I ended up being smashed and disgusting and probably dangerous to myself and to others. And that was 8 fucking years ago. I kept drinking since then, like socially. So I always wonder: why doesn't a bad experience ever stops m, or never makes me realise shit? You tell your story and got a lesson out of it, and made choices for your life. I never do. What the actual fuck.
a lot of us asians lack the enzyme alcohol dehydronase. not only do we get "asian flush" or glow, but we just can't metabolize it properly thus the effects get emphasized. I feel you !
you could maybe talk about your previous job experiences! that would be funny to watch 😌
Thank you, thank you so much for telling your attitude towards alcohol because I have nearly the same experience with alcohol and then I realized that I do not like the taste of alcohol and the hangover day afterwards anyway and the behavior of drunk people is so shitty and sometimes annoying. My problem is, though, that not everyone will understand that I do not drink alcohol, they will persuade me but I resist of course. Sometimes I feel like I am excluded from society just because I do not drink. Do you have the same experience or is it just about the people I meet and about getting used to the fact that their friend (me, obviously) is not drinking? Of course my best and closest friends understand but the others not. Thanks and I love your channel!
I went the same experience. It take courage to not drink alcohol when you go clubbing! You are awesome and I like your channel. 😊
YASSSSS I understand you 100%. I also don't drink alcohol. i just hate it.
I've just watched your german video and I can't understand the hate on your english? It's good and you don't have a strong accent like many germans do... :) keep it up
you are the living evidence that it's possible to have fun being sober! :) ♥
I've actually never been drunk, because I don't like the effect alcohol has on me even when I take just a little sip (I get headaches and get kind of aggressive.. I am half-asian, so maybe that's why), and I also can't cope with drunk people: I think it makes you unattractive and annoying. I seriously can't bear seeing people I like drunk, because they act like a different (less loveable) person :(
the only "problem" I have is that I actually really like the taste of some alcoholic beverages, like baileys or federweißer, so I am always looking for non-alcoholic substitutes that taste similarly :D
To me that sounds like every weekend from age 15-17 and thinking about it makes me sick. Especially vodka.
I drink to the point where I can't stand anymore or I don't drink at all. Still working on the in between..
I love your videos and I agree I hate getting drunk, because I get the worst hangovers so now when I drink I know my limits and only drink until I feel a little buzzed then I stop. I prefer to be the mother of the group and take care of my friends, that way I still have fun but I know everyone is safe, works for me :)
I don't really drink and I always wonder why it seems so weird to others, like why is drinking alcohol considered normal and if you don't do it people don't really seem to understand. Guess that's just one of the things people just start doing without questioning it, but I think it's okay as long as it's in moderate amounts which usually sadly isn't how it is. Anyway, enjoyed listening to you talking about your experience, hopefully you inspire someone to rethink their habits too!
hey i just puked up vodka and orange juice yesterday!! ran out of champagne for mimosas and switched to hard stuff..... what a mistake!!
hab' dich heute entdeckt und liebe deine art jetzt schon. :) vor allem find ich's nice, das du deine videos in englisch gestaltest. ich mag's und man kann dich gut verstehen, i dunno was die meisten deutschsprachigen haben.. 🙈 btw; ich werd' in 5 tagen 18 und ich hab noch nie so wirklich alkohol getrunken, wozu auch? ist total useless. von daher thumps up an dich, dass du es auch nicht mehr machst. ^.~
Just stumbled upon your videos. You are such a joy to watch :)
can you please make a video about relationships, your own experience and surviving breakups?
I totally get what you're saying. One time I actually mixed two types of alcohol and I had no clue what that would do to me and I straight up thought I am going to die! So, lesson learned.... from now on if you drink you have to do it in a responsible way.
Thank you for this video! Keep up these story time talking videos!
i don't drink either! it's never agreed with me. it makes my anxiety so much worse. i wish i had the option but i know it'll always be a bad decision. i really respect that you don't drink either
Ich hatte auch mal einen mega absturz durch Vodka. Seitdem Tag an kann ich keinen Vodka mehr trinken. Mir wird sofort schlecht...was ich sagen will ist..i feel you girl! Man braucht echt keinen Alkohol um Spaß zu haben. Tolles Video! Hab einen schönen Tag;)
you have exactly MY perception upon alcohol, and I had pretty much the same experience as yours. I feel you one hundred percent.
I don't like drinking alcohol either. I've never had a bad experience with it (probably because I never drank enough to actually get drunk) but just the thought of losing control over my body gives me panic attacks. With my anxiety and phobia of anything related to vomit I can't even be around people who are intoxicated. The only time I will drink is if I'm on vacation at like a cocktail bar, where people don't drink just to get drunk, plus cocktails are the only alcoholic drinks I think can taste quite nice. It sucks though when people think that you're uptight just for not liking it :D
Hallo Kicki ich habe dein video über konstruktive kritik gesehen. Es stimmt, dass deine englische Aussprache vielleicht etwas deutsch ist. Aber ich habe gemerkt, dass deine Aussprache nach 3 Min Video einfach mal total natürlich wird haha rede dich vor einem video vielleicht einfach ein paar Minuten vor der Kamera oder dem Spiegel ein.
Love :)
Deine story war richtig spannend!
Mach doch mal ein Video wo du über deine ersten Erfahrungen mit Jungs redest oder etwas in die Richtung, wenn es was zu erzählen gibt ;)
Ooooder du redest über die Orte wo du dich am liebsten aufhältst in deiner Stadt.
Ich habe auch aufgehört. Inzwischen sind es 10 Monate ohne und ich fühle mich super und bin stolz auf mich, dass ich auch feiern gehen kann ohne Alk. Und am nächsten Tag kann ich früh aufstehen und hab was vom Tag, während meine Freunde alle im Saufkoma liegen.
Inzwischen hab ich auch Komplimente zu meinem Aussehen bekommen. Nicht mehr so aufgequollen und fertig..
Ich fühle mich super ohne Alkohol. Ich will ja nicht sagen, dass Alkohol einfach nur scheiße ist, aber ich hatte genauso schlechte Erfahrungen und ich denke ich brauche das einfach nicht in meinem Leben.
Wer ähnlich denkt kann ja mal eine Testphase machen. Einen Monat ohne oder so. Ist aber keine Empfehlung oder Ansage, sondern nur meine Meinung.
I studied in South Korea and there student life was all about alcohol. Some students were not invited to parties/trips just because they didn't drink alcohol. Sometimes older students would force freshmen to drink. I always told them that they can refuse, it's their life and body anyway. Alcohol is good with food but getting drunk is so overrated...
wow I am soooo early!! I love you and your chatty videos❤❤ do more talking videos
I've had a really similar situation. I also drank too much alcohol before going to a club with some people, then started feeling horrible and threw up on the couch there. I wasn't close with the people that i went with and i didn't want to bother them any further (they had to clean everything up after me), so some random guy walked me to the closest subway and put me on the right train. Luckily i got out on the right station and walked home. My parents never found out thank god.
Hi Kicki! can I use a part of your experience for my story? I'm using it as an experience for my main character on wattpad. Just want to let you know since I love you lol!
yeah sure, please send me the result !!
+Kicki Yang Zhang As soon as I'm done editing, I sure will!!! 😍
I am rewatching this video right now and after the first time I watched it, I realized that I didn't want to drink alcohol anymore because even if it doesn't make me sick I still feel how my energy lowers down the day after and also in general and I realized how different I behaved, how many things I said and did that I regret the next day but still somehow after a few weeks of not drinking with friends I came back to it because ( and that is what I realized just a few days ago ) it "helped" me with my problems...of course it didn't but of course I did not realize this. First problem solved: I can talk to people comfortably, I feel comfortable in my skin and confident with everything Isay...does not matter what it is. Second problem solved: I don't feel alone in a group of drunk, talkative people. So why did I still feel shit in general? I realized that all of this was temporary and also most of it was fake. Most of the people I liked when I drank I didn't like for real, most "friends" I only saw when we met up to drink and also I didn't get more comfortable in my skin in general but just when I was drunk. Also I realized that I hated being drunk, I have a phobia and it is the phobia of vomiting and all related to it but STILL I got so hogh from being comfortable in my skin that I sometimes took that risk and of course hated myself when I got sick for real. So...I realized that I hate feeling our of control physically, I hate to feel out of control mentally and the only thing I loved alcohol for was the confidence boost I got with other people. I even felt shit when I drank with my best friends because there I didn't get that confident high because I already was confident in front of them so I just felt the effects of alcohol in a raw way and regretted it...this is a very unstructured long-ass comment but seems like I needed to get some things off my chest. The point is ( I guess ) that I used alcohol in hopes of being more comfortable in my own skin in front of people I didn't know very well and after realizing it I now know which areas in my life I need to work on. Videos like this help me to not give in to that peer pressure and stay true to my values!
Thanks for that video!!!
I'm so glad you made if safely home.
these videos yaaaa girl !! maybe about changes in your style or smth like that
the sad thing is that i ate rice while watching this
why is that sad! rice is f*cking awesome ✨
+Kicki Yang Zhang because i wanted to drink tea with you haha !! next time i'll have tea for sure (or then you'll have rice ? 👏👏)
I think the throwing up every time you have vodka now might be a bit of classical conditioning; my mom is the same way with anything containing rum. She had a really terrible experience and now every time she has it, she gets sick.
In the Caribbean drinking is pretty heavily embedded in the culture, and most of us seem to have a pretty high alcohol tolerance (I'm the type of weirdo who likes beer or straight scotch when I go out, I actually think they taste good xD). The first thing my parents told me about drinking was to be careful about the mixed ones...precisely because the alcohol is so hard to detect. Luckily I hate sweets so I just avoided them anyway.
Thanks to the high tolerance I've never managed to get terribly drunk, and this just made me want to avoid it even more ._.
I've had a couple of bad experiences with drinking and I've realized that drinking isn't for me 😂. I don't think I'll ever drink again honestly.
the origins of the straight edge movement didn't cut out caffeine - it's more about that positive state of mind and always acting consciously and considerately :)
Tell us about when u smoked weed!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
i can agree, every time i drink i only feel slightly good on the comeup, an hour later im nauseous and it goes on until the next day. alcohol sucks and makes your makeup smear. never drink alone either its so depressing lol
oh my gosh one time i was drinking and i woke up next to my friend in her bed and i was like "wow i slept so soundly" and she laughed and said i almost tried to pee in her closet at 6am so yeah im on a tea break. great vid!
I don't like heavy alcohol either but a little bit of beer I don't mind
if you drink responsibly it's totally ok to have beer or any other alcohol! :) it's just nothing for me
Beer or cider is ok. Every time I have drunk strong drinks in the past it usually didn't end very well. Either I fell asleep on someone's sofa or on one occasion I had my wallet stolen. I think I have been 'all or nothing' with alcohol at times, which isn't a good way to be. I do like a drink and the feeling of being 'merry', or 'tipsy', but being 'drunk' sucks. You feel ill and feel lousy the next day! Now, I choose to abstain from drink.
Yup. Pretty much the same happened to me with champagne + rosé wine. CANNOT drink those two anymore.
Your mentality is just so nice I want to be friends with you every time I'm watching your videos :)
nice video. i understand y u dont frink alcohol anymore :). i like cocktails like frozen magharita passion or drinks like vodka lemon.. but u have to enjoy it and dont drink to much from it :D i hope i will never get in a situation as u described..
I get the whole "vodka makes me vomit" stuff. Cause this Halloween I got pretty drunk, and I threw up and stuff. Now even thinking about drinking alcohol makes me feel nauseous. Like, my birthday was last Wednesday and my mom was asking me if I wanted wine or champagne and I was like "nope, no more of this shit for me".
Ich trinke jetzt seit zwei Jahren keinen Alkohol mehr und es ist beste Entscheidung die ich getroffen habe.
one of my friends once told me that vodka and orange juice isn't a great mix at all? idk I don't drink that much, and I agree that alcohol tastes like shit but like, I kinda like the feeling when I get light headed a little bit? it's like I don't have to worry and think about stressful things anymore? I like that feeling. I tend to know when I should not cross the line and be totally drunk though so yeah! also chatty videos would be so so amazing!
Vodka and OJ is kinda gross. But in general vodka isn't even that good unless you get a fancy drink.
I don't drink alcohol either. I'm a shy girl and it takes me some time to start dancing and alcohol might help me to feel more confident but I just think "why should I drink alcohol to act differently than I am?". It might take me some time but still I can have fun without it.
For some reason, I cry hysterically when I'm drunk.
Spencer Universe lmao me too
Actually had a similar experience - but not with alcohol, it was when I had food poisoning, lol. I personally do drink occasionally, but I'm always quite responsible, only vomited once when I celebrated my graduation. I really only drink for the taste, like wine and cocktails and stuff, not for the sensation of being drunk.
Du musst manchmal aufpassen wenn du in der Vergangenheit sprichst, zum Beispiel hast du einmal "didn't thought" und einmal "didn't saw" gesagt, es müsste aber "didn't think" bzw "didn't see" heißen, weil die Vergangenheit ja bereits durch das "did" ausgedrückt wurde und es ansonsten doppelt wäre (so habe ich es mir immer gemerkt). :)
When I was 16 (2 years ago) I used to drink a lot but now I practically don´t. The reason why I drank so much was because I was not in a good place mentally but luckily I am okay now and I do not crave alc anymore. I barely ever drink nowadays and when I do, I know my limit
poor little baby
Last new year... Yeh. I feel sick even thinking about it. I don't drink anything beyond one beer or gin now and even that is pushing it for me!
I don't even know what to add because it feels like you spoke for me! I had the same experience (but with champagne) and my attitude and reasons i don't drink alcohol is the exact same are yours (=
*as yours
I did a lot of underage drinking but I knew how to control myself but than one day on news years my sister had a party and she had sujo and everything went down hill....
I regret it so much because I did a lot of stupid shit that night and threw up everywhere (lost like 5 pounds from it)
since that day they have been making fun of me even tho I said many times that I was very depressed that day and needed to loosen up (I didn't expect to get that fucked up tho)
I went to a party with them and they started telling people about it and I felt so embarrassed and sad that I couldn't even enjoy the drink I had.
i live in Friuli Venezia Giulia, a small region in italy. Here it's common (somewhat a tradition?) to drink wine. Everywhere you go here, you have to drink, even the old people meet in bars and drink a lot. The young people keep on drinking to have fun because there's nothing to do here, so you know, boredom and all that jazz makes the people want t get shitfaced. I was never a really heavy drinker but it's been a couple of years that drinking make me feel bad. Plus, i can't get my head around this thing because why can't you have fun without it? i'm not against it but when it because A NEED if not you haven't fun then i'm against. I know what you mean about confidence but i feel that many can't seem to face life without the help of something (would this be alcohol, pot, cigarettes or other things). I repeat i am not against any of that but the exaggeration makes me wonder about this things. Great video by the way, i'm all up to this kind of chatty videos on your channel!
