There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, and don't let anyone tell you there is or try to pressure you. That kind of thing isn't for everyone.
I have never been drunk or high (just tipsy, and it was enough to make me feel really nauseous and I hated it), and have no desire to, because nothing about being inebriated seems enjoyable to me. I also felt really "out of it" for years on a cocktail of SSRIs and other meds during my adolescence, so I know all too well what that feels like and hate it, and do not miss it. Perhaps being under the influence of different things feels different, but I really like being fully aware and not having a drowsy or lightheaded feeling like I used to have every single day for 7-8 years. I have also seen how miserable people look when they're hungover and have no desire to even give that a try.
Is it bad I don’t like getting drunk/high?
