Foo - I'm 21 and still haven't gotten drunk.

It's been a week, and still no akeehawl. I'm not cool I guess. This whole keeping my body healthy thing is pretty cool.

I will be 25 on sat and i have never been drunk

Dude, we're frig'n coolio for reals!

Let's see who can sip a cup of strawberry milk through a crazy straw the fastest!

I'm 23 and have never been drunk, nor have i ever really had a beer or alcoholic beverage. I think i must have a brain tumor...

No hurry to go out and get loaded Jon. It just that now you know if you want to have a beer with you meal etc... you can.

Awww how cute! Come sit next to me and have a virgin *cough cough* margarita. :D

Virgin pina colada? ;)

Virgin pina colada? ;)

Even better! I'll add extra pina and extra virgin to it.

I started drinking at 16

Awww how cute! Come sit next to me and have a virgin *cough cough* margarita. :DDon't leave her alone with that drink for a second. She carries a flask around for just such occasions...

:P

Haha you're funny Heather. Where's the extra virgin coming from?

:P

Who me? I'm as innocent as this non-alcoholic cocktail I'm holding.

*blinks eyes sweetly*

Haha you're funny Heather. Where's the extra virgin coming from?

Hmmm...err.....olive oil?


I'm trying to refrain from being too dirty here...

Who me? I'm as innocent as this cocktail right here.

*blinks eyes sweetly**watches the glass start to be eaten away by the drink inside*

I'm trying to refrain from being too dirty here...Are you feeling okay?

Are you feeling okay?

She's been sippin' the virgin margaritas again.;)

*watches the glass start to be eaten away by the drink inside*

Damn...the virgin does that every single time!

Are you feeling okay?

Hmmm...come to think of it, I thought something changed in me when I fell off my bike the other day...

17 here!

Good on you Jon. I understand the temptation, but I have to say from personal experience, that it is:

A.) Overrated
B.) One more thing that can complicate life unnecessarily

Some folks can handle it well (like Tude), and others... well, some not so well.

Getting drunk sucks! Try marijuana instead. ;)

You're a smart kid IMHO.

I am drunk and do not remember being 21.

I'd rather spend my money on silly string from the dollar store.

mhmmm cancer causing chemicals.

I'm 21 and still haven't gotten drunk.

Loser.

Duh.

i was too hung over to drink when i turned 21. had to wait a week or so.

Good on you Jon. I understand the temptation, but I have to say from personal experience, that it is:

A.) Overrated

Both true, but it has social components that are worth understanding. Fairly important business deals can involve booze, and it's not just because people are acting like idiots or have little concern for their health.

You're a smart kid IMHO.

you have a very unique outlook.

I gave up alcohol last year just before Christmas. Haven't had any since.

+1, totally agree

Good for you, Jon. Understand, though, that there is such a thing as moderation. Most of us are capable of having a glass of wine or a couple of beers with dinner and not becoming raving lunatics.

Ben Franklin said, "wine...a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy."

ok enjoy. I am not going to say congrats because this is right up there with me saying "I haven't had turnip in 10 years"...in moderation alcohol can be fun and at times a good social exercise.

Enjoy yourself not drinking. I will enjoy myself (and my fiance) with some beer tonight :beer:

Never ever?
Walk into any bar, slap a twenty down, and make the same claim. You'll be fixed right up in about 10 mins.

never even had a drink

dont want to either. doesnt appeal

oh well more guinness for me

In seriousness, I have to agree with a lot of posters here. A lot of young people (boy, that makes me sound old) seem to think that getting drunk is, itself, the point. If that were the case, you could just sit alone at home with a jug of the blandest, cheapest, strongest liquor, and have a grand ol' time. However, in real life, that tends to be a symptom of a severe depression. :P

Having a few drinks with a/some friend(s) can be fun, though. Again, not for the express purpose of getting drunk, but just as a part of the evening. Have something that tastes good, sit back, relax, and have a good time. No big deal.

Of course, if you choose to specifically excise any and all alcohol from your diet, that's fine, too.

I would say you're more of a man than me, but this week I had rhubarb for the first time in over 20 years. You should post in another 10 years so we can see how you turned out.

Whether it's booze, food, cycling, or whatever, it's really not that important what you're doing at any instant in time. It's what you sustain year after year.

Why so extreme? Why do you have to get drunk to drink? It only works the other way around. I understand not drinking if you don't know how to do so in moderation. It's not an on-off switch. If you drink, you're not suddenly drunk. It takes most of us more than one drink to get there.

I've been drinking my entire life.

Oh, water doesn't count? Damn.

I am dusting off a medal to present you...

I loves me some beer!
And beer loves me.

Getting drunk sucks! Try marijuana instead. ;)

Weed is where it's at, I haven't been drunk in well over a year.

I, on the other hand, am a big fan of binge drinking every so often.

sounds like my late teens and twenties

I love the responses in this thread.

I'm 44 and haven't been sober since 12 ...:D

O.K. that's a lie. But I did quit alcohol in '99 ... I developed a beer gut and didn't like it.
I'm much fitter these days; getting drunk is overrated anyway, Jon. There are so many
better things to do with your time ... and you'll be able to remember them! :D

29 and never been drunk, with no plans to be. Actually, I've never had much alcohol at all. What I have tried tasted terrible to me, so I figured there was no need to bother.

Those braincells were only going to die from lack of use anyways.:D
