What is your honest opinion of those who do not drink alcohol?

[Anonymous]

Honestly I just don’t like the taste of alcohol. I’d rather eat my calories.

If they are good company, of course! I am an adult and while I enjoy alcohol, I am capable of having fun without it or having a drink and not feeling judged or shamed by the presence of one or more sober people.

No one in my circle drinks regularly. My American and European friends open a bottle of wine for Holidays with guests, but usually not for regular dinner parties. I also had Muslim friends who never drank, ever, and we're Asians who can't tolerate a lot of alcohol, so the rare times we drink alcohol we don't finish our glass.

That’s pretty weird, sorry.

It's weird that people are Asian. Or Muslim. That's what you are saying, PP.

East Asians developed tea for clean water so they can't metabolize alcohol the way that Europeans can- we had to brew beer instead. It's not weird. Nor is it weird that people have religious restrictions against alcohol.

PP you need to get your head checked. There are billions of people who are Asian or Muslim or BOTH. The only reason it's weird to you is that you are uneducated and insular.

Thank you for defending me, PP!

I am in my 40s and the ONLY place I have ever heard such nasty comments against non-drinkers is DCUM. It makes me think there are a few trolls on here. I've lived in several countries in Europe, plus the US, and no one in real life has ever cared that I didn't drink in company.

A rare person can do that.

Definitely weird trolls on here! But it's like everything-- if someone has a problem with a thing you are doing that isn't hurting anyone, that's more about them than you. Clearly they have ISSUES. Just ignore.
