I do, because if I didn't I would die of thirst. Even a camel has to have a drink sooner of later.

I don't drink. Because it smells and tastes like something used for washing windows or like rotten fruits (what in fact it is).
And alcohol belongs to the kind of drugs that makes you leave control over yourself. A no go for a control freak like myself.

I occasionally drink, allthough I don't get drunk (because I don't have any need for it).

I'll drink when I can get it.
But it's not a big deal.

At most I'll have a cocktail once every few months, or a glass of wine. It's also high in empty calories.

I drink some alcoholic drinks, but typically not enough to get a buzz. That I don't like!!! I prefer to maintain self control.

...I've been nominated by my sister that when I turn 21 in a few months, I shall be the designated driver.


T00 bad I am not going near a bar setting.

And by that I mean I'm not sorry.

It hurts me to see people I know do this (binge drink and being drunk) to themselves. A hangover the next morning never sounded appealing to me.

No alcohol for me. Alcoholism runs in my family, and I reason that what I never drink, I can't get addicted to.

Kind of like Lost, Family doesn't have a great history with it. Beside that I don't like the taste of most Alcohol. That being said i have tried it, and just don't enjoy it.
