I used to enjoy it. I now find that I lack energy the day after I drink.

I have a drink maybe once or twice a year. I rarely finish off a whole drink and almost never have another. I'm not attached to it.

I have never liked the taste of most alcohol, and find the smell makes me feel very sick. However, I can stomach Baileys and Pina Colada... I only ever drunk at xmas really, or when very depressed, but that stopped as it never made me feel merry.
I cannot drink now really as my underactive thyroid means it leaves me feeling like crap for days after.

I love to drink, but I have never been drunk, nor do I ever plan on it. I don't see the point in it. Plus I'm underage, so... But seriously, people need to learn to drink the way I do. Have one, maybe two. That's it.

I drink quite a bit.
I am in a situation where I have to interract socially quite a bit more than I am naturally comfortable with..so I use it to help me deal with contantly being around all the noise and crowds...this is at my venue..if i get drunk away from home, I can become a really difficult person..

I hate the taste of all alcoholic beverages, including wine.

I drink only for the taste and not to get drunk. I like a good quality lager or ale and some white wines but I do not like red wine except tawny port.
I think many NT's like to drink a lot of alcohol because it breaks down social inhibitions for them. Aspies are usually not socially inhibited anyway so there is no point in them getting drunk.

I enjoy drinking basically when no one's forcing it down my gullet. At parties when I'm supposed to walk in and first thing head for the keg, and I'm relying on it to make introductions easier, it doesn't do much good. When I decide that I would like a drink and casually sip at a comfortable rate I very much enjoy it.

I point blank will not allow alcohol near my system ever.

I never drink. Partly because I've got epilepsy, and that doesn't go well with alcohol, but the few times I've had it I've thought it's disgusting. The behaviour I've seen from people who are drunk has also put me off drinking.

I meant were you drinking Miller Lite, or were you drinking an Imperial Russian Stout? I hated beer myself until I started drinking the really strong stuff.
