![[Live] : ONE 168 วันนี้!! "โจนาธาน vs ซุปเปอร์เล็ก"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0jIN65KgJsI/mqdefault.jpg)
I hit my breaking point on this once and said:
There are 50 people in this room doing something I'm not doing yet I'm perfectly comfortable. You see _one_ person not doing what you're doing and are uncomfortable enough to make an issue of it. What does that say about you?
This is the perfect response. Very well put!
"There are 50 people in the room that are wearing clothes yet I'm perfectly comfortable being naked around them. You see one person being naked and are uncomfortable enough to make an issue of it. What does that say about you?"
Well it doesn't really apply everytime.
Harzburgitic Why? It's the majority to wear clothes as well as it is the majority to drink at a party.
No. I have no idea what kind of logic had lead you to that conclusion.
Nekrochomikon8 The reason why your logic with the naked people doesn't really work is because alcohol and nudisism are both looked at as negative things. (from how I understood it) The original post is referring to a sober person feeling comfortable being surrounded by something negative (for lack of a better word). And those negative people don't feel comfortable around the positive person and they want him to fit in and be negative. Your example by having a room full of clothes people and one naked person is putting one negative person in a room full of positive people who want the megative person to do something positive. Which is the opposite of the original post. Sorry for my bad explanation, but I hope you still understand what I'm trying to say.
I'd like to point out it's not only addicts or religious people who avoid drinking, but also people who just don't like it. I don't like drinking, because it tastes gross and makes me sleepy. Just why?
Heartburn
Abstersroxx seriously. Like, I'm sorry I don't need it to have fun and I'd prefer it to be sick and hating life in a few hours. Smh.
Abstersroxx i made my boyfriend stop because i didnt like him drinking. its a waste of money and bad for you. he's way healthier now and saved a lot of money so i can finally meet him for the first time after being with him for 2 years
exactly
yeah exactly, for me it just doesn't make me feel good for whatever reason, I feel ill 95% of the times I drink so there's just nothing fun or enjoyable in it.
I can't drink yet but I'll never drink because my dad was a severe alcoholic and it just brings bad memories and what if I become like that? So no thanks.
Exact same. I'm glad someone feels this way too, a lot of children of alcoholics also severely start drinking, but there is an oppisite to that too!
Lauren good 👍🏼
Lauren Literally me. I swear. Why do I need to give people another reason?
plot twist: youre not youre dad & youre in control of yourself
turntrie this is true, but growing up that way would of still been unappealing and sill make the idea not worth it.
"Why don't you drink?"
1. I don't like the taste of alcohol very much.
2. I know how to have fun without needing to drink.
Same
@Zelda Ray I can counter at least with one of your argument. The other don't see it as a counter argument.
1 Yup, I tried, didn't like it.
2 I don't really have more fun when I eat ice cream. I get humiliated everytime.
Camilla Olsen finally! someone said it
Zelda Ray
If you want to drink, go ahead. I could care less about what you do. Just stop trying to spread misinformation about it. We don’t want you to drag us down to your level.
I love the taste, it’s just that I dislike the feeling of getting too tipsy. So I tend to not drink much and only on special occasions usually
"live a little" "I'LL LIVE LONGER!" ahhah best
Amber P. does ir matter to live few more years when youre an old shit and u cant do anything
edga truth tho. Rather have good years younger than more years older. Every year younger is worth 5 years when you're older
Michael 2715 That's not what you'll think when you're older.
Lea Kenny at least ill die with no regrets and fun memories
But that's the point. One does not need alcohol/drugs to have fun times.
i also hate hearing "im suprised you're actually having fun and you aren't even drinking!"
.....
CourtneyMarie 6661 omg yes!!! it's like I'm having fun and I will remember this tomorrow
Maryvera Horsefall exactly! and no hang over! we're a rare breed, us non drinkers that still have fun.
you know what sucks? when you are sober and dance like a crazy person and people assume that you must be high on ecstasy -.-
Cygnus I love festivals but people don't believe me when I say I'm sober because I dance like a lunatic X'D
Rin615
Have the same problem i dance a lot and have lots of fun when going out but they al act seprizes and don't belive me. Or say there proud of me. i hate the last one the most beceause there's lituerly nothing to be proud of. The people i go out with know i never had problems with alcohol or have a hard time seeing every one drinking I mean they know I don't mind. while others don't get prazed but have a reason to be.
I have gotten laughed at by bartenders for not drinking. If 90% of your family have had issues with drinking, then why even start?
Taylor R.S good craic
even my dad had a liver problem because of it
According to my mom. My dad and his side of the family spent most of the wedding depressed while my mom and her side of the family enjoyed themselves.
Same here since my grandpa from my mom's side were heavy drinkers that led to most of them suffering severe health issues or died. My grandpa suffered nerve damage to his legs so he has to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Because of this, my mom chose to never drink like her dad and my dad never liked alcohol in general. Personally, I see alcoholic drinks, cigarettes, and drugs (aside for marijuana and other drugs that help people with medical issues) useless and just a waste of money.
Same here.
Reasons why I personally don’t drink:
1. I don’t like the taste of alcohol
2. I don’t like the smell of alcohol
3. I don’t like the idea of me being unable to control my body and say/do something stupid that I will regret the next day.
4. I don’t want to get addicted to it
5. I’m scared that I would get taken advantage of if all of my friends were drunk. (I’m usually the one who has to take care of my friends)
6. I don’t want to damage my liver.
You practice totalism!
*Same* Also 7. We just don't like alcohol and passing out.
every. single. one. YES.
@@_InsertName_ will someone admit 8. i don't drink because i don't like someone that drinks ?
I don't drink because Allah says don't drink.
I'm 31 and never been drunk. It's just not for me. Drunk people annoy the shit out of me when they're drunk and talk BS and when they're hungover and complain about it.
But how do you know it's not for you if you've never been drunk before? XD
I'm not stupid, I see what it does to people. I don't need to set myself on fire to know it's not for me.
+brammatie1 there's plenty of idiots out there who do stupid shit for fun that I don't need to try to know it's not for me. Fallacy back at you.
yeah, they all do stupid shit when they're drunk. It applies to everyone who has ever been drunk. Sort out your fallacy dude!
sweetkorshka I've only been drunk once, coincidentally less than a month ago (on Thanksgiving.)
I'm not sure what you would consider to be stupid behavior, but from my opinion I don't believe I did anything stupid. The worst thing was that I couldn't get in the car correctly, but it was funny for everyone who was watching, and still brought laughter for future conversations. It took away my coordination for sure, but I wasn't compelled to do anything bad.
The whole night, I just listened to music, had some nice conversations, played with some kids, and dance to a song or two. The little kids were the best part. It started off with one of them tickling me out of nowhere. I declared revenge would follow, and later tickled him back. I played catch with several of them, and then they started to tackle me. I had 5 kids doggy piling on top of me at one point. It was a lot of fun!
I can't say with absolute certainty that this wouldn't have happened if I weren't drunk. However, I have severe anxiety and the thought of that happening again while sober, in front of so many adults I didn't know, seems frightening. I would have probably been too embarrassed and self-conscious to be playing around with the kids so much. (Kids don't give me anxiety, it's teens and adults that do.)
But the alcohol made me go in a laugh-mode. I thought everything was fun / funny. I didn't even think or worry about the adults present.
And one of the bigger noticeable differences was this: On all other holidays or get-togethers, I always want to leave as soon as possible. But this time, I stayed for hours and didn't want to leave. It's actually shocking. But, I wouldn't say that was the drinking. It's definitely because of the kids. However, would I have played with them so much if sober? A little bit maybe, but definitely not in the same way. If I visualize it happening again now, but without the drinks, I'd like tickle the little guy back a bit but then turn around awkwardly to see if any of the adults were watching, being fearful of them. I can't see myself shouting revenge, but I can see myself going inside and watching SpongeBob with them at least.
Or worse... when people assume you were a drinker, became an alcoholic and then quit. No. Some of us just never took to drinking. The concept of getting drunk was never appealing to me and it taste terrible.
Equally, some of us drank moderately, and then quit for reasons unconnected to alcoholism.
Dymond Kitty Amen brother
It also doesn't mean we are saints who take no drugs and don't like to party.. I get just as smashed as the next person.. just don't like drinking.. *shocker*
I hate how difficult it is to meet people that don't drink. Especially a boyfriend.
My boyfriend drinks but very rarely. And he doesn't do it to get shitfaced.
BIOL6895 LITERALLY MY STRUGGLE
Go to temperance society meetings & sign the pledge.
Bars are a crap place to meet someone anyway. This is x10 when you don’t drink, especially out with friends. I have 1 friend who has never drank, but sadly 4 friends who drink regularly
As a person who has never consumed alcohol, and intends to never do, the most annoyed I've become is when people don't believe that I won't start drinking at some point. It's like "Oh, you're gonna have a drink one day, and then you're going to like it and you'll just start doing it". But I don't WANT to like it, stop trying to push it on me! Luckily, I'm way too stubborn to listen to any of those people
Always remember that the people who try to force it on you are usually miserable and/or insecure. They want to drag you down to their level because misery loves company. I've genuinely had someone ask me how I can be happy without it.
The simple answer to this is to surround yourself with people who are happy and secure in themselves already. Then they won't care if you drink or not.
It’s actually amazing to see pple like you who doesn’t drink whole it’s something normal in their society which can be very difficult to not do it.
Surprise, Surprise coz I never in my life thought there are some Nonmuslim who can control themselves and not drink it at all. 😱 OMG
The same is here! Where can meet a guy who does like alcohol the same like me?
VikzeLink Same here
yeah good for you
It's so fucking crazy that you actually lose friends from NOT drinking...
"Friends".
Lmao I was also the outsider in school during breaks because I don’t smoke. I mean they took me with them but it was always awkward just standing there
@@pollinger1967 why did you stand there?? You were nearly as dumb as they were - consciously and purposefully poisoning yourself.
Hania Popowska lmao no. I avoided the smoke as much as possible, I literally get throat/nose pain if I inhale that smoke. And it’s not like we get poisoned by the air (car exhausts for example), by shit in our food and stuff already
@@pollinger1967 It is like we get poisoned by it. All the more reason to avoid and delegalize the poisons that are not in the least necessary to our lives.
I don't drink. Never have, never will. Drugs and alcohol do not appeal to me.
Alcohol = drug
I know but generally when I refer to alcohol as a drug, the uninformed masses of the internet go mental like "ALCOHOL ISN'T A DRUG", so now I just separate the two.
tforceraven girl u have a fair point. totally agree
techfan42 being sober does not make you unattractive, and you do not need alcohol to become attractive. I'm female and I'm sober, and personally I find being sober an attractive quality, maybe purely because it's something I can connect with, or maybe because I like a man who stands by what he believes or knows to be right for him. It's not to say I find people who drink unattractive, not at all, but someone who knows drinking is not for them, and stands by it, that's pretty attractive.
tforceraven same
"Don't be boring"
Says people who require alcohol to have fun
Thank you! I already have a drunk personality so I don’t even wanna know what I’m like with alcohol in my system 😂😂
@Ebony Addison i bet you smoke yourself hypocrite
@Zelda Ray
Stop wasting your time trolling and try to do something actually productive. The Internet is not for trolls like you.
Dragon7ly
I can take any opinion, but she said that you need alcohol to have fun, but really, that’s not true. I just don’t get why poisoning yourself and going ape shit throwing up and getting wasted as shit is considered “fun”. To me, that sounds very unpleasant.
But if you want to drink poison and get wasted, go ahead. More power to you. I could care less about what you do with your body. But please don’t spread misinformation about alcohol, because we don’t want to be dragged down to your level. We already have enough alcoholics in the world, and we don’t need more.
Dragon7ly
I didn’t say that I was better than you. Where did I say that? XD
Learn to read, pal. Let me reiterate: I don’t have a problem with people drinking, but my pet peeves are that drinkers WON’T accept the fact that I don’t drink. I’ve seen many people drink until they get drunk and wasted, and I just don’t want to go down that path.
I’m not forcing you to stop alcohol, I’m just asking you to accept that I don’t drink, and that’s all I want. It’s just my personal preference. This is another reason why I don’t like the Western culture. Besides, there are MANY ways to have fun without alcohol. You can read a book, play video games, go to an amusement park, go out with friends, etc.
I don’t drink alcohol because I want to live longer and have a great life. Alcohol, for me, is ONLY used for cooking recipes, because at that point, all the alcohol has been vaporized.
Drunk culture is *SUCH* a problem.
But when you tell people that, you're a weirdo. Smh
This reminds me of a friend who often drives drunk and then I wonder why I'm still friends with her. I despise the idea of driving drunk; such a selfish act. But if I confront her (about anything) she will brush it off. Makes me mad.
@@amy-bethtaylor2656 From my experience. Never. And i mean NEVER have friends that put you and others in danger. Dont get me wrong i dont want to tell you what to do, just speaking from experience. Have a nice day/night
@@ivagrujic248 No I totally agree with you hun! I should speak with her and see if she can wake up about the situation. If not, it's better not to consider her a friend, unfortunately. Thanks for your constructive feedback! :)
@@amy-bethtaylor2656 you should probably signal her to authorities if necessary. I really despise drunk drivers, sorry.
@@JadaKingdom971 No need to apologize. Of course ❤❤. Wise advice.
I really do feel sad for people who can't have fun without getting drunk or high. That may come off kind of pretentious, but I have friends like that and it makes me sad that they waste their money, health, and dignity.
*****
It makes us sad because we care about them :(
And yeah, how are we the boring ones when we can actually remember the fun we've had? XD
*****
cool
*****
??
SomethingReallyStrange People who think that you're boring for not drinking think that because most people are insecure and drinking/drugs make you lose your inhibitions and be less insecure, but you don't need drugs or alcohol if you already feel secure in yourself.
LemonZeppelin thank you!
glad these people are so content in their sobriety, more people should be like that tbh
*Everyone should be like that.
SUM1 why should everyone live like that? Not everyone is addiction prone, or have poor relationships with alcohol. Plus not everyone who drinks does so at a dangerous level.
dinkyboss t. Drunk brat
No one said any of those things you stated, go be a sheep elsewhere
That is like saying I'm content because I don't eat apples.
@SidtheKid because drunk people are annoying and not funny.
For those who say “You are no fun” if someone doesn’t drink, let me tell you that we have more fun watching people being drunk while WE are sober, that’s way more funny than actually being drunk haha
And it's funnier to be able of walking back home without the risk of passing out on the street or being involved in a car accident
Nah, drunks are annoying af when you are sober. Soooooooooooo glad I'm completely sober.
Omg yes! I can relate to that! I thought the same thing :)
*me completely losing my mind when someone drinks (we're not even talking about someone being drunk) and trying to jump out the window to escape* i wish
I mean you have a point and I can relate to it
>”Live a little”
You’re telling me to drink literal poison to “live a little”? Really?
Zelda Ray
Keep your useless poisons to yourself, mate. We don’t want to be dragged down to your level.
Seth Belfort
I did not. 😑😑
Y’all are amazing and It actually surprised me to see pple like you guys who doesn’t drink whole it’s something normal in their society which can be very difficult to not do it.
coz I never in my life thought that there are some Nonmuslim who can control themselves and not drink it at all. 😱 OMG y’all keep going 😏
Seth Belfort
No🙄
Read the spencer o’keefe thread, then you’ll know what I mean
@@halalpolice7544 bruh we get it just stay safe.
I'm 22, i don't drink and i'm surrounded by drinkers. It is strange, because i never really missed drinking alcohol in my life. It is just so pointless to do so. So glad to know that there is more people like me around the world. 😊
Exactly I relate so much
Claire Redd Again with the “moron” thing
Hey dude, I'm 22 going on 23 in a week. I'm the same. I don't drink, surrounded by people who do. I'm at risk of addiction if I do, so I can't, but I also don't see the point.
True
I have a few friends who are 20.. 22.. 23 and I'm 19. None of them drink but I occasionally enjoy a cider or something, but I always feel bad because funny enough, I feel like they are better than me for NOT drinking. Lol do I make any sense? Like not the typical "I won't drink if they don't drink." It's more like... I actually feel ashamed because they are better than me for not drinking 😂.
The sad thing to see is how people need to use dangerous substances in order to 'live a little'. How about enjoying life without drugs or intoxication? Ever thought that the problem is perhaps that you're incapable of being fun without substance abuse?
I think some of us are just naturally miserable, stressed or just incapable of living in the moment, and thats why they need something. That may be weed, booze or prescription drugs, or choose to never take a break from it
@@stephenolder4552 why not harmless hobbies to not be "miserable, depressed or incapable of living properly"? You know... like watching your fav movies or serials, travelling, reading, paragliding, painting, making music, writing, learn a new language or try out different cuisine, dance, teach, take up photography..there's honestly a lot of shit out there. Many therapies and treatments exist just for this. But whatever, if people wanna make excuses about intoxicating their body then so be it.
@@blueshoes5145 some peoples brains are wired to be high strung, stressed or whatever and simply picking up a fun hobby isnt gonna change that. Thats why some people are on some form of prescription drugs, or self medicate with weed or booze.
You may not be like that, so you'd probably find it hard to relate to but thats okay. You dont have to get it.
On a side note, while drinkers do say these annoying lines in the video, some non drinkers do have something just as annoying: self-righteousness. And id rather deal with a drunk than a self righteous person any day of the week. Not saying you're self righteous, im just talking about those who are.
Alcohol isn’t dangerous if you know what you can and can’t do.
I literally only smoke meth so I can go for days without eating.
Its my diet fix. I can go months or years between several day or several week binges.
Meth never destroyed my life like it did with so many of my friends.
Because although I abused substances. Substances weren't my real vice.
Anorexia and bulimia were.
I've cycled through various eating disorders for 15 years though...
I don't need drugs for fun because that's literally not why I take drugs.
what i always think about this subject is that if you need alcohol to have fun,you must be very boring
Gin Yure I get told that all the time. “You don’t drink, you must be boring”. Actually no, you’re a moron.
That's what I used to say when I was 13 and butthurt. I learned later that I actually need it to have fun at parties, because it fixes the social anxiety problem. Unfortunately I'm sort of an alcoholic now, so fuck me
You’d think that, I always got that impression when I was younger but now in new situations it helps people relax and be less awkward because of less anxiety and being afraid of what people think of you x
Ikr??? lol
I can be honest, even blunt, and playful without a single drop of alcohol.
Guess I’m a total drag to be around...lol. People can say whatever shit they want, least I know what’s up with how I drink, or don’t.
Alcohol feeds into mental health like anxiety and depression. A good reason to avoid booze
Zelda Ray
Said every drunk person ever.
It’s really sad that you depend on a poisonous substance to fix your problems. I think you need therapy before it’s too late.
I’m on medication so it’s a win win for me
i stoped drinking because i realised I may create a problem if I need alcohol to get through uncomfortable situations
@Selina Kyle they're saying that they don't drink alcohol because of their medication and that it's a win-win because they won't experience the negative side effects to their mental health
@Zelda Ray yep, you need serious help
-Why don't you drink?
-Because it tastes awful, and it feels like something that really shouldn't be going down.
-You just haven't found your drink.
-I've tasted wine, white, red and pink, tequila, congnac, whyskey, beer, local liquors, rum, gin, mezcal, pulque, sake, and even something I believe was illegal, all in different price points and brands, aone and mixed, never wanted more than a sip. So I just came to the conclusion that I don't like alcohol, thanks.
wtf? illegal? hahahahahah
DarkPock omg hahaha I hear that so much. I will like a drink that doesn't taste like alcohol and doesn't have any side effects... let me just go down to Coles and get a 2L coke for 90cents which I can have the whole night while you spend $12 on a single drink XD
I feel you man!
DarkPock drinks? Hun? :****
Aro & Monsuuni cider is fine but it tastes way better if its alcohol free XD
Ahhh I had people trying to get me drunk since I was fifteen. They never understood that no means no.
Marína Urbanová loser
Marína Urbanová 13 for me
I had a friend tell me at fifteen that if I wouldn't drink she'd spike my drinks

How sad
2:09 "You must be a yoga freak or you just like to eat vegetables don't you? - which is actually true but they shouldn't assume it" 😂💕
yeah i don't do yoga and i dislike veg just as much as i dislike alcohol
Cerulean Skigh stfu u basic
pokekitty1 same! 😂
@Cerulean Skigh I can only do seated yoga because of an injuru
That girls cute.
My ex boyfriend said it was his personal goal to get me to drink. Like wtf? Thats not okay.
My ex was the same way
Thank god he is your ex.
what an ass
what a dumbass, glad he's an ex
@jim taylor not drinking isn't dull or joyless?
I think the worst one is "Drink this, it's water..." when it clearly is vodka
Therefore you shouldn't accept a drink from an unknown source
It doesn't have to be an unknown source
At our school trip there were 30 of us in one room and 5 of us weren't drinking
A friend of mine was quite drunk and came to me with something and said it was coca cola
She knew that I don't want to drink and I reminded her of that and told her that I can smell the alcohol and she crying because "I don't trust her enough to try her drink and I think she'll poison me"
Luckily, another friend (also drunk) came to us and told her to calm down and that he'll make me split the drink with him
When she left he threw the shot in the sink and told me not to worry about it
I'm forever thankful to him for that because if she continued pushing it would end ugly and we wouldn't be friends anymore
water, vodka, whats the difference
@@marlena2535 Frankly, I don't understand why you stayed friends with that girl. It may not have escalated past that but it was still a betrayal of trust when she tried to trick and then outright pressure you to drink it.
Only an idiot would waste vodka on someone that doesn't even want it
Why don't you drink? **dumbfounded face**
I get that so much. Well for starters:
1. Alcohol tastes awful
2. I don't want to make a fool of myself. I do that enough as it is without the help of alcohol
3. It's unhealthy. Not only is it bad for your liver, it also has more calories per unit than anything else besides pure lard.
4. It's so expensive. I could use that money on something way tastier and healthier
5. I don't want to risk becoming dependent on a substance
No it's not because of my religion. No I'm not a boring fun-hater. No I'm not judging you and I don't believe I'm morally superior to you. No I'm not an ex-alcoholic. There's just literally no good reason for me to drink alcohol.
monkiram Good for you 👍!
Ronald Fulton
And?
And why not have fun and try theese things since you only have one life?
Atleast try them lol, and moderation is key.
@@aok9153 if you need alcohol to have fun in life then that sucks...
"more calories per unit than anything else" are you drinking straight ethanol?
"You only live once!" Yes, and I rather not live my only life being an alcoholic.
Lexi Peck Oh god that was surprisingly good
and remebering what I did...
The vast majority of people who drink aren't alcoholics and won't become alcoholics.
Unless you’re an idiot, you won’t become an alcoholic if you drink. I go out every weekend and get pissed but I’m not an alcoholic.
@@tiermax1629 I was going to agree with you, but then you claimed proudly that you get wasted every week... That's just sad.
However, most people who drink aren't alcoholics. And don't get piss drunk every week. It's wrong to assume they all do
"so if you don't drink or smoke, why did you ever turn 18?"
(In my country is legal to drink & smoke after 18)
I rolled my eyes so hard it hurt. Like I could even stop myself from growing older.
@watergod 83 🤣🤣🤣
Age limit to drink is 21 here
I would say " to get my driver's license, that is a lot more useful"
It's so annoying, really. Whenever I go to a birthday party there's at least one person who says something like, "C'mon, it's almost rude not to have a drink on their health." (Which is very ironic by the way.) But they think it isn't rude to casually disrespect my own decision and try the guilt trip on me?
Good job for the keeping of the cool
exactly! its rude to disrespect others sentiments and then guilt trip you into drinking , like if you cant respect that , im leaving.
I've never been interested in alcohol and don't see what is so great about it. It's not even about health.
That's me with weed as well. Take a away all the health factors and I still wouldn't be interested in either. It really sucks how much staying sober takes a hit on your social life though
I dont drink because I don't like the taste and it makes me feel like shit
I love that shit feeling tho
That's the same for everyone you grape.
Rhanna Russell if you don't like the taste of alcohol, you're drinking the wrong thing.
LemonZeppelin that's sort of like saying "if you don't like prostate exams, you haven't found the right finger"
janelle s It's not, because different types of alcohol taste different.
When I was a child a doctor prescribed me a small glass of wine every evening before dinner, to combat Anemia. Ever since then I view alcohol as medicine, like cough syrup. I remember Mom saying, "Come drink your wine", and I'd reply, "Aww, do I have to?" I've never touched that vile stuff since I overcame the Anemia. You could say I gave up drinking when I turned six years old! Yeech.
W K What kind of doctor prescribes wine to a patient?
I just reread your comment. 6 years old? How long were you drinking it?
Lol this was the funniest comment on this video
Never read a bigger load of bullshit in my life
@Pretty Boy it prob was a very small amount. And maybe a special wine. My grandma says when she was little, kids used to have bread with sugar and warm sweet wine for afternoon snack.
My boyfriend doesn't drink because he feels that he doesn't need that fake confidence to chat with people etc. It really showed me how genuine he is compared to a lot of 'friends' I made at uni just because of drink.
Yes, well said girl! :)
I never had the right words ... That's it! Thank you and your boyfriend!
I don't need alcohol, I've got my delicious orange juice thank you very much
Honey cat I can make your orange juice taste better. 😁

Do a "Things not to say to someone who doesn't wear make up" xD
Yakumoki the golden sentence "you would look nice with makeup".....what am I now then? Frankenstein monster?
Hahaha yes! And the "You will look less tired" oh thanks
YAAASS! I've always hated makeup. It made me feel fake. I like my imperfections. I always get, "You'll change your mind." or "You will when you get married." Why? If my husband is fine with me and no make up before marriage, then he'll be fine with it afterward. ^-^
Yakumoki Yes please 😀
On the opposite spectrum, do a "things not to say to someone who wears makeup". So many people get butt hurt over how much makeup people put on their faces (oh, you wear too much makeup, you should go natural, guys prefer girls without makeup, etc 🙄), and being a girl that wears a lot of makeup, I get judged on the daily about how much makeup I wear. But I've never judged (nor have I ever seen someone else been judged) someone simply because they don't wear makeup

"people ask me if im muslim or if im a protestant from the 1600s"
"what do you say?"
"yes."
I don't understand why people think you need to get drunk or drink to have or be fun? Like? I feel bad that you actually need it to be that way. I'm already naturally "high" and "loose" and talk a lot of bs, I don't need alcohol to get me anywhere or make me worse lmao.
Lola Bint yes!!
YES! People have asked if I'm high because I'm naturally so weird and happy, and im like "nah, this is me naturally".
27 years old, (Canadian, so I’ve been legal since 18). Never tasted alcohol, smoked anything, etc, in my life. I went to a bar once, did not consume anything, just went to play pool with a few pals. I just never really saw the thrill. I also know myself well enough to know how quickly I could become addicted to something, and didn’t think something like that would be worth the risk.
I do other fun things. I’m a fiddle player... That’s fun.
I hate when people keep asking "why don't you drink" and then when I say "for personal reasons" it's not a good enough answer. I don't drink because my dad was an abusive alcoholic and I never want to end up like him and I can do completely fine without any alcohol. But that's not something you want to tell someone you've just met, someone who's already a few drinks in and will just say "oh c'mon, one drink won't kill you." So when you meet someone who doesn't drink, don't ask why. Just accept the fact. More drinks for you, yeh?
I'm only 15 and I already know I'm never going to drink cause I have been surrounded by drunk people all my life and it's not pleasnt at all
Wise head on young shoulders. Good luck.

I can't drink, 'cause im severly allergic to alcohol, and the worst is when '' friends '' say « your life must be boring »
OH CAUSE RELYING ON A FERMENTED BREUVERAGE IS BETTER ?

What are your symptoms? I'm planning to use having an alcohol allergy as an excuse.
@@flowercool3985 just google how far east Asians can't handle alcohol and you'll find a list
I'm not allergic, but in alcohol intolerant. I sip of alcohol and within a minute I feel terrible. The feeling is similar to low blood sugar or that feeling after you've had a lot of blood drawn.

Doctors are annoying too.
Doctor: How many drinks do you have a month?
Me: oh I don’t drink
Doctor: oh, but like when was the last time you drank?
Me: ummm.... it’s been about 9 months since my last drink, then it was 6 months before that as well. Very sporadic but maybe twice a year.
Doctor: so I’m gonna put 1-2 drinks a month....
Me: or put that I don’t drink. Whys that so hard to grasp?
Bryan
Plus that would violate the Hippocratic Oath
I told a doctor once I drink only occasionally, but when I do i might go through a two liter carton of wine in two days. Later when I changed doctors (for unrelated reasons) I got my records and found he had written "drinks two liters a day". And before anybody says so, yes I know I'm an alcoholic. I knew it then too but wasn't prepared to stop. But he made it out to be much worse than it was.
@@jayfredrickson8632 A liter carton in two days isn't great. And they give me friggin coins for every year *I* quit drinking, haha
Here's how you really tell: you don't want anything to do with people who don't drink. Nor do you ask or find out more about them as a person after that point.
If you don't want to go anywhere there won't be booze.
If you drink before you leave the house.
If you never had "just one" in your life. EVER. lol.
You think you drive better drunk.
You've never left anything in your glass.
I was sober 4 years before I heard the Joe and Charlie tapes. He said norm drinkers drink maybe one and a little over and when they start to feel a bit high, they STOP! What??
I never stopped until there wasn't any more or I passed out.
Oh, blackouts are another huge red flag.
Jmo.
Not the docto, but i had to get an official mediacal test for a course, and the options to " how often you drink" were +1 a day, 1 a day, several times a week, etc and the last one was 1 a month. There was no less frecuency than that as an option..i was tempted to add a " once in every red moon" option, but instead left it empty and told the doctor i just don't drink except in very rare occasion one single piña colada, but it's usually like once a year or so, because is only in summer and only if i go to a chill out which i don't do so often. So she just made a line over the option to indicate " doesn't drink"
The college I go to is kind of a party school, and roommate last year actually asked me why I was attending school if I wasn't going to drink.....
are the teachers sleeping on the job if a teacher heard a student say that at the college i went to they would kick them out. college is a place of learning not a nightclub
Imagine going $30,000 into debt just because you want to have parties and drink alcohol
wtf? why would someone pay all that money and put themselves into 10+ years of debt just so they can get drunk all the time? that blows my mind
That's hilarious
pokekitty1 at my college I literally heard teachers say we aren't doing college right if we don't drink. As a person who doesnt that was so annoying
Like, I don’t drink alcohol because:
1. Alcoholism runs in my family
2. Alcohol is gross (personal opinion)
3. Being drunk is not fun
4. I DON’T WANT TO
Like Gladys I just don’t want to. You can have a glass of wine, I’ll have my Carbonated water. If people want to stop hanging out with me because I don’t drink, so be it. I don’t need their negativity in my life.
I understand if you don't want to drink alcohol, but why drink carbonated water?! It's rank!
@@emme2141 So is sour milk but I rather have club soda over that for the obvious reasons.
I am not a violent person but when people call me a "wuss" or "boring" because I don't drink, it makes me want to clock em one! This video has made me feel better though and these questions asked are so true! X

This is so true. The way people look at you like you're speaking another language when you tell them you don't drink. And you only live once, that pisses me off. I literally get nothing out of drinking alcohol, I don't enjoy the taste and only drank to get off my face. I do not want to get off my face any more. A year with no booze 👌🏻 doing fine.
Morgan Williams I don't know you but I'm proud of you!!
I wasn't a problem drinker.I just got into my 50's, stopped liking alcohol, and finally quit a couple months ago. In that time I've been dry except for maybe 3 sips of beer and 1 of wine. It's been fine. I'm quite enjoying it, and I've lost a few lbs I needed to lose.
The whole "You Only Live Once" nonsense comes up more than the others and I shake my head. Because I don't drink, I can afford good things, I can afford great things and I can afford to actually enjoy myself without getting pissed as a fart. Another good thing about not drinking alcohol is watching others do it and then make total idiots of themselves.
"You only live once" really should be the exact reason why people don't want to drink. Like if you die... there's no coming back
@@aimeefasick2004 I have a seriously obese friend who uses the YOLO argument as an excuse for feasting. Like... WTF?!

Good for you. While them alcoholics throw up and get wasted, I’ll be drifting my future Rocket Bunny BRZ down some awesome hill and mountain touges.😎😎
Especially in the British and French culture, which I am around a lot, when you're 20 and don't drink, everyone is just so shocked. And the first thing they ask is 'how do you have fun'?. To me when I go out, the music is my drug, it controls my mood and my 'high', its so important to me. People will ask me if I'm drunk and I'll be like no, it's the music. I hope us youngsters can stop relying on alcohol to have fun, or give confidence because it doesn't seem like a good thing in the long run.
Huh gaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy
Chelsea Bondz It isn’t as bad if you know your limits, but I do respect people’s choices.
Yees same here!! Music is that which gives me that good feeling!
In German culture it's just as shocking if you don't drink around the age of 18-19 and my "friends" have also asked me if I'm drunk just bc I was having fun on the dance floor. Even though they all know I don't drink
Same in Hungary. The problem is, we have 1 million alcoholic people in this country, so we have a serious alcoholism issue, still, if you decide not to get on the bandwagon and refuse drinks you are ridiculed. Well, guess who's the idiot here...
I really needed this, the hardest part about me choosing to live a life without alcohol is to find other people who have the same view point, I've walked away from so many friends and toxic people because all they can think about is looking forward to getting drunk on the weekends, I've been put down so many times for being "lame" and I felt guilty for "ruining a night" for people who wanted to go out.
Yes, it is a religious thing, but even if I wasn’t religious I have no desire to drink.
Kelly Harmon SAME !
Gurl, same

Jesus drank wine.
Templedelagloire because back then you drank fruit juice instead of water because water was still iffy to drink while fruit juice was fine. The juice ended up fermenting and had other uses aside from getting you drunk.
So, yeah, Jesus drank wine, but because that’s what was available all that was available at time. They referred to regular juice as new wine and fermented as old wine
I also dont drink alcohol, and because Im muslim, people assume its because of that. Well no, because there are lots of muslims who still drink alcohol. I just dont like the taste, smell and the way it makes you.
EunYoung Uzun Hello 👋I'm a muslim Army too😄
EunYoung Uzun and you're so right!!
Tbh it smells gross too haha I don't drink, in the long run people who look young and have less wrinkles in their 50s usually say it was because they never drank alcohol. I'm on a all water diet cuz healthy lifestyle. Btw JHOOOPEEE lol ✨
My aunt (not blood related) used to drink wine like there was no tomorrow as a horrible way of coping with family issues. She's Muslim and I didn't even know how to help her then because I was a kid
Tbh before alcohol was even haram they were husband that abuse there wives and also u feel sick after eating and change ur whole personality when u were drinking and could be addicted so it's haram
"Live a little!" If drinking for you equates to "the only/best way to have fun, enjoy, or live a full life" You have never truly lived.
I’m a little over 9 months sober this morning. I have many reasons to not drink!
congrats friend!!!
CONGRATS!!!

''hey Dave how was the party last night?'' ''brilliant, I don't remember anything, don't even know how I got home, great night!'''
basically..
I know, at Christmas there was a guy, about 18, on the night bus saying he'd had a great night out, he was sick twice! That's disgusting, why would he not go home when that happened? His body was already telling him he'd had too much.
dave seems like my kinda guy
And me fuckin head is in bits. YEEEEAAA
I don't drink and will never do so, but I don't really have a reason. People are always so eager to know why and they alway think I'm an alcoholic, I'm a health buff, or I'm just boring. I am literally none of those things, I just don't care to have such severely mind altering substances in my body. Simple as that. And it's not even a big deal to me, but other people are so uncomfortable with it, like I'll be offended that they drink, or they don't want me to feel left out. Like trust me, I'm far from uncomfortable and I love being drug free.
They want to drag you down to their level. It's insecurity and not being able to stand someone else being comfortable while sober.
Exact same scenario with me
I don't drink because it makes me feel tired and heavy and I don't really like how I say/do things I wouldn't normally say or do when sober . It's weird how alcohol is synonymous with having a good time in this country (england) . I mean , standing in a room drinking endless liquid is the epitomy of fun ? I get it though , when I was younger I used to drink a lot in pubs and parties too it's just not interesting to me anymore
Ben J, Good for you Ben, each to their own.
Yh I would think that alcohol is just dangerous especially with a wine or a beer or even vodka. So that is why I probably would have to experiment much to my mother’s disgust.
People "You want a drink?"
Me "I dont drink"
People "You are so brave! I wish I could do that"
Its pretty easy, you just dont.
When i meet new people at a bar, and they ask what im drinking (In the glass thats clearly water) I tell them that its straight up pure vodka.
Some girl belived it in, and after some hours she took a sip and was like "You lied" XD
Honestly, what even is the point of going to a Bar sober? It’s loud and crowded with drunk people, I can’t imagine it being fun at all
@@jatsikoira meet girls
Hayden G3 well that's true
I was told several times as a teen (!) that "Oh, come on, don't ruin the party" when I said I don't want to drink. Like, how does me not drinking alcohol affect the mood of the whole party? I don't mind if everybody drinks around me, why you mind that I don't? People just can't seem to understand that some of us can perfectly enjoy parties and gatherings without alcohol. Now I'm older, I occasionally drink liqueur and I can enjoy a glass of fine wine every once in a while, but I drink less that 6 glass of alcohol per year and I'm fine with it. I don't understand this whole "drinking culture", meaning that people try to pressure others into drinking until they get drunk, which will make them sick, and nauseous and weak... it is a damage to health, why would you force me to do that to my body??
My other favourite line is "Oh, then what is your choice of drug?" Like, if I'm not drinking, I must smoke, or take pills, or be addicted to caffeine, etc. but there MUST BE something instead of alcohol,there's no way I'm clean of everything. Well, quite frankly my drug is music and chocolate, I'd choose any of them any time over the above mentioned stuff.
I'm 18 and in the UK and I get called boring. And asked most of these questions and they assume that I am religious. When I get asked at a birthday or a party or some sort of celebration do you want a drink. It's not even a question anymore. Because if you say "no thank you I don't want to drink alcohol" they ask again like they didn't hear you and ask you another 5 times and begin to pour you one. My girlfriends nan said I was a very boring guy and a bring down at parties because I don't drink. Yet that party I stopped someone from falling over and banging there head on concrete and I helped 4 people to their taxis.... I'm helpful not boring. And I came up with all the party ideas.
ironic because the main religion in the country requires you to drink a little alcohol as part of the service which is actually why i hate the stuff. i think only an alcoholic would like the taste of church wine it's that awful i always felt bad for the priest because he had to drink what was left.
Yea... I’m British too, but I not faced that problem... at least not yet cuz I’m underage, but still I remember I given small amount alcohol at one of my family gatherings, but I never drank it. I taste it with my tongue, but it was so horrible that it feels like shit to me. So I leave it at the table and always go to a room where I can be by myself away from my family as I’m a private person and I hate parties. So, yea
Not all alcohol tastes the same. Beer is a unique taste, so is wine. Applae cider is disgusting but a mixed fruit cider is amazing. My recommendation is dont get dead set that you dont want to drink, try a little here and there. Stay away from wine, its the most alcoholic tasteing thing ever
Damo2690 To be honest... I rather not run the risk of getting drunk, embarrassed myself or worse, ended up sleeping with a random stranger. What if I have weak alcohol tolerance? I don’t want to risk that, especially since now I have a boyfriend
Kuno Phantom-Kunoichi2001 If your main fears are the things you listed, *if* you want to, then try having *a* drink with you bf/with friends at a house. If thats ok, then the time after have a 2nd drink. I wouldn't recommend 3 drinks for someone thats just starting to drink.
Edit: I would recommend this only if your 17 or older
Meh. Zero temptation to drink. Don't need to rely on liquid to have a good time.
Nafeesa Ali yet you rely on a chemical reaction and movement of electrons inside of your head
Nafeesa Ali why do people who don’t drink say shit like that?

That’s a bad analogy. His/her meaning if liquid is alcohol
For those who say they don't drink (anymore), I'm glad you say you don't anymore. I support it all the way. However, I have NEVER had an urge to drink ever, and I don't ever want to. I don't do drugs either. Since I was like 12 I knew I wouldn't drink/do drugs ever in my life. I'm 22 now and I have always had morals and a good conscience and for some reason, when I tell people "I don't do that. I never will. Don't ever bring it up again." They never take it serious. They say "But you will eventually, right?" "Like... never?" "But why?" "You can't hold your liquor?" "You need some alcohol in you!" "I'm gonna slip you something someday." "I'm gonna get you drunk one day." "Are you Christian/Catholic?" "But what if..." NAH, FOOL. I JUST DON'T. I don't have urges to drink. I don't have urges to do things like that in my life. I live a creative and art-filled life. What am I missing out on if I don't drink? NOTHING. DANG!!!!
Nobody has the urge to drink tho. "Since I was like 12" - you're letting a 12 year old make decisions for you bruh
Steve Steven I've had friends that started drinking when they were 13 and 14 yrs old so i can understand where she's coming from. I feel bad for them tbh.
some people clearly haven't been to a christian church service then what do they think people drink for holy communion fruit juice?
Not wanting to slowly poison yourself is a good goal to have in life.
I have had two sips of alcohol in my entire life. I hated both of them. The smell of alcohol makes me feel sick.

middynighty I get this I have had three sips though

I don't drink because I hate the taste of alcohol. The only alcoholic drink I've ever liked is Not You Father's Root Beer, because you can barely taste the alcohol. And I really hate the idea you can't have fun without alcohol.

Like i get saying " no one likes vegetables at first, but you can build a taste for it" because vegetables are needed for a good diet... but beer? Why?

As someone with alcohol intolerance / allergies this is so real
And as someone who has a recovering alcoholic as a father (hitting near 10 years of sobriety) it really hits home
oh my godness ! finaly someone else allergic to Alcohol !
it's to a point where people refuse to invite you to party and all
but hey, i totaly get you !
i had to change career because of my allergies
Jay Avera awww I'm so sorry that's awful
):
I think I’m intolerant too. If I even have a small sip of alcohol my stomach feels like it’s gonna explode
I'm alcohol intolerant too. My eczema explodes into massive red inflamed and itchy patches over night after a night out. My dad is also so dependent on alcohol that he falls asleep at the dinner table at 6 o'clock pissed every single night. It's so difficult to tell people I don't drink tho
Honestly this hit home. Especially the not getting invited out part.. almost all of my friends go out partying all the time and I barely get invited purely because I dislike alcohol.. I still like dancing and acting the fool with mates? Just because I won't have a shot with you means that I no longer get to join in on any of the fun? I can visually see people getting uncomfortable when they find out I don't drink (a topic that comes up far too often) and everyone always sais "oh wow that's so great, good for you.. I wish I was like you"... why? I just don't like to drink? It tastes bad and the high you get off it isn't even that great.. I'm just so tired of being treated like I'm being "holier than thou" by not wanting to take a shot.. I'm not judging anyone and it's not my fault yall get uncomfortable.
It's so frustrating. People push me as well and then finally one day I said "both my mother and sister were addicts and they are both dead now. I'd like to live to see my 40s." and that shuts them right up.
@TheActivistBook LOL. Just give me a glass of ice and I'll be lamping coolest in the room.
Real good friends won't care whether you drink or not. Hopefully you encounter better people later on
I stopped drinking because I couldnt control myself, I threw up almost every time and it tastes disgusting. but most of my friends are just like "oh okay" and go. its mostly when you meet strangers that they want you to drink but the allrounder excuse is just to say that youre the driver and they let you be :D
Chiara Hld , sorry but, your “friends” are not really friends. If they didn’t care about u when u were drunk, girl I think u should look for other people.

Personally I'm afraid of the effects of alcohol and weed. It's addicting, it does incredibly dangerous things to your body and everybody just acts like it's normal to be drunk and high. It's a serious problem in society, that's why I choose to not drink or smoke
most people have serious problems and alcohol helps them get thru it. Its the same as taking prescription pills or whatever vice you may have. And everyone has a vice!!!
@@tbewin1z143 Except alcohol is a depressant. Much different than taking psychiatric medication meant for your specific condition(s).

Drinking is nothing to be proud of. I drink occasionally but I really don't make a big deal out of it or suggest it to other people because it's wrong. Besides, non drinkers tend to be more attractive and trustworthy (in my eyes at least)
Your comment reminded me of a situation where I worked for a short time on contract. There was a Women there that smoked a pack a day, I assume. Perfectly nice and such, but one time we were talking at the computers. She had a desk close to mine. She ended the sentence with bla bla bla, "young man". Which is something that would be culturally totally okay to say to someone in a given setting, but only to someone MUCH younger than themselves... I didnt have the heart to tell her I was 4 years older than her. LoL :D
Yeah but I always find people more atractive drunk
@Poison Pumpkin Well I could see why because they usually have less to worry about & a more clear mind. And generally their skin is more hydrated because they're drinking more water & getting the eclectic electrolyte nutrients.
Good eyes.
I just love the fact that I can have a great time without having the need to drink alcohol to do it
Same here, I go to parties, pubs, bars and still have a good time, even though I'm sober.
MY PEOPLE! I don't drink, I never have. and I don't ever want to start! When people find out it's "AT ALL!? What would you do if I put some vodka (or whatever they are drinking) in you drink when you weren't looking!?!!"
Answer: Hate you for life and never trust you again.
Not very open-minded
Artturi Laine "open minded"?
The hell is wrong with you!
iiLove Hate what do you mean?
Artturi Laine you said he was not "open minded"
Were you not reading a storie of what hes friend did to him
iiLove Hate ask what he would do if he put vodka into his drink? I don't see your point, is that supposed tonne traumatic or something
I don’t drink for religious purposes. There’s one businessman at my church who had to go to alcohol filled business parties, and so he always ordered a milk. Half the time, people would get so confused by the color and ask what it was, and when he told them they thought it was hilarious. Next thing you know half the party had switched to milk, and they all had a fantastic time.
I just think that’s amazing. So thats for you, confident alcohol avoiders.
Bollocks!
I am not the only milkolist!
I love this. As cliche as those programs were we all saw in school, peer pressure is real.
They forgot
"I wish I was sober like you."
"Come on just try it once." or "Just one sip"
"Why"
"What do you do for fun then?"
I dont think people realize how insulting it is to insist or try to throw drinks their way to try and change then. For all you drinkers who have done this before, know that it's the most annoying thing on earth to deal with people like that. Because we have dealt with a million other people exactly like you that say exactly the same things. They try to make it their personal goal to try and "convert" someone as if it is some great achievement. Know that you are not only insulting the person but also their morals and beliefs. But whatever 🤷♂️ that's how I feel.
Because its easy to pretend to be someone while sober. When you have a few drinks in you, your inhibitions lower and people get to know the real you and thus can make a better connection and become better friends. Its deep but its why people ask you that. People who dont drink have something to hide imo and know it will come out if they drink.
I'm so glad my parents are both teetotal and grew me up without any alcoholic influence. I tend to abuse any form of entertainment that gives me a type of euphoria, so I have no desire to ever drink alcohol.
yes i agree!
One thing I personally get a lot is people assuming that the reason I don't drink is because I was an alcoholic at one point. Once people find out that I have simply never drinken alcohol, one of two things tend to happen.
1. Some people expect me to just tell them my life story and explain why I have no interest in alcohol.
or
2. They start pushing me to start drinking because 'I don't know what I'm missing'.
I mean you don’t know it before you try it...
And then there’s 3. They’ll both expect an explanation to the lack of interest AND try to get you to “try” it.
@@jatsikoira It's overrated. Not really that worth it. And not worth the price, for sure
Olivia Van Zimmerman well that’s your opinion. Don’t know if you have even tried it, but I suppose it doesn’t matter
Still...you do not know what you're missing, most people like the feeling of being drunk....in my opinion it's a question of severe risks on the one hand and benefits on the other hand Whether you risk it or not remains your decision
I get so many of these. Maybe I just don't want to drink alcohol, is that so hard to understand?!
Everytime my friend gets drunk the only topic she wants to talk about is why I don't drink and the whole evening she is trying to convince me to drink and I am like damn is it really so hard to accept my decisions (honestly after a while it feels really assaulting)
You're really young. Just do daytime things with her.
Things not to say to people with acne. Much much needed!
Asia Ashley 95% of teenagers
The made a video about that wooo
@@valentini8358 and adults can have acne too
@@kaydenhagg6924i didnt say 95% of people with acne are teenagers, but that 95% of teens have it
I don't drink and a lot of people don't understand why that is. I think it's because there is an association that in order to have fun a person needs to drink.
oh my God as a girl who doesn't drink I keep being asked like "are you pregnant?" like seriously if I don't drink does that mean that I'm pregnant I have to worry about someone else's health and not about my own health to not drink?
For some pregnancy is not sufficient reason to stop drinking
@@polinaracheeva9163 Uhhh. And they wonder why their kids turn out the way they do. Which increases the generalization cycle & poor raising of kids who aren't able to gain knowledge & foresight on their own.
@@emanatingf have seen that a lot in my home country. Dumb people are everywhere
I never have and never will drink because I grew up with alcoholic parents and even the disgusting smell of it gives me anxiety 🤢
My dad is drunk pretty much drunk whenever he doesn't have work the next day. Being adicted runs in his blood. Thats the reason why I do not want to drink, ever. I'm only 16 now, so I still have to wait a year and a half before I can, but when I can, I won't.
It stuns me every time how personally offended some people get when you tell them that you don't drink alcohol.
One guy in particular I had a late night heated discussion over an anonymous app with.
He wouldn't take "I don't like the taste" (which is not my only reason) for an answer, because there isn't THE alcoholic flavor.
I then asked him why he doesn't smoke. And get this: He said "Because that tastes like shit".
DUDE.
There isn't THE smoke flavor. You need to have smoked every smokable thing there is in order to be able to say that you don't like how "smoking" tastes.
... He didn't see how that was an argument against his case. 🤦♀️
TBH, he was maybe hoping you would get drunk so you would have sex? The first guy I dated started buying me drinks for that reason. He couldn't tell me that, IDK. He just got annoyed when I didn't want an alcoholic drink or another drink until I finally figured it out after three really boring dates, with him getting ratty for no reason. I guess he thought "If we just get drunk enough, it will just happen..." but he never spoke about his feelings at all and I broke up with him.
sounds like the type to avoid if you ask me i don't understand why some people want to throw caution to the wind that quickly in a relationship.
Lmao i dont get offended, i just think thats a little weird.
I really couldnt care less if someone drinks or not
I don't drink because I find the taste of alcohol repulsive and I'm not a masochist.
Dave So, if you drink you're a masochist?
No, they meant that if you find the taste repulsive and still drink your a masochist
Charlotta is right, but I see how that could be taken out of context.
"You should drink alcohol because YOLO"
"YOLO is the exact reason why i dont drink"
Drinking a few beers isnt going to kill anyone lol
@@tbewin1z143 Only problem I have with alcohol is that it doesn't taste that good. Also in the long run it can makes you look older which I don't want at all.
@@tbewin1z143 k
@@alokbaluni8760 To combat the taste people make cocktails like mojitos. But I understand this reasoning
@@Morphoidism You are right. I am not saying that it tastes awful. Some drinks are quite good but I feel like I can always taste a much better drink with no alcohol in it( generally Soft drinks). Obviously both are bad for your health one more than the other.
I love this comment section, filled with people who don't drink, HIGH FIVE PEEPS!
The life of Dan ✋

No trolls beyond this point
People always said "Just have one" to me and to "live a little" saying I was boring. What they didn't understand is that I grew up around alcohol abuse in my family and it caused so many fights. I didn't see my cousins who I was best friends with because our mothers had a drunken fight and refused to talk to each other for 3 years. My mother would come home from another "late night at work" at 3am smelling of alcohol, barely being able to talk or stand. I saw an A grade student fail highschool because he got into drinking and wouldn't stop. Even his mother offered to pay him to go to school and he refused. After living through all of these things I think I shouldn't be ridiculed for not wanting to drink. I'm 20 now and will have a glass on whisky when I go out for dinner (about once a month) but I refuse to drink any more than that.
I'm turning 13 soon and I already know I'm not gonna drink. The smell is horrible. Seeing someone drunk is scary and I don't want be in that situation.
That's great! Just stay strong and true to yourself if some people try to push and pressure you into doing it! ❤
You should know that almost everybody in your age says that, and 2-3 years later they do it anyway. But well hope you won't be like that and will keep your friends.
Superhirnable Sadly that’s true. But als yourself why. Most of them start because they’re pressured by their peers and society not because it was their initial thought and then they just accept it as normal and required. I‘ve seen this so many times and often these people are getting sober again in their 40s because along the way they have seen the damage it can make.
I said that at 13
@@TheGwynchan Yep, probably true. Society sucks and staying true to myself cost me my social life pretty much. But at the end of the day not playing this game always pays off.
"Just have one..."
Fine. But when it interferes with my medication and I'm tying a noose or standing on the edge of the balcony are you going to be there to stop me? Didn't think so.
