I am a soon to be 21 year old woman in college. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs. I used too... but I don't anymore. I have no interest in partying, getting drunk / stoned or smoking cigarettes. I'm not religious. Is it normal?
Totally normal. I grew up in New Orleans, and by the time I hit the legal drinking age, I was already bored with drinking and rarely did it. I've been a non-smoker for three years, and I never got into any kind of drugs because I disliked how they made me feel.
Think of all the money you'll save, all the wear and tear on your body you won't have when you're 40, all the parties you'll get to remember, and rejoice! :)
One caveat, though: Just because you don't do these things doesn't mean other people don't love the hell out of doing them. You will run up against people who take your choice not to drink/smoke/take a pill as a condemnation of their choices even when that isn't what you're doing at all. Be prepared to hear a few insults. It's unfair, but it'll happen. One good way to deflect it is by volunteering to be a designated driver. Everyone loves the DD. :)
Yes, it is normal. I wonder what causes people to question the normality of a drug-free lifestyle.
It's just the world we live in now. Look around and the music we listen to, the shows we watch and way people act make you feel out of the loop for not doing these things. I'm speaking generically of course. I don't know what kinds of entertainment you enjoy, but I think you can understand what I'm trying to say. Also, what proseathlete is completely true. A lot of people think of not taking part in these things as a condemnation of their actions. It's sad but true.
Normal, humans don't do these things naturally.

That is why you never see a newborn baby with a bottle of Jack in one had, a heroin needle in the other arm and a cigarette hanging off his lip.
Well you never see that outside of South Carolina anyway.
There's nothing wrong with it really people who do it a lot are retarded if they think it's cool
*slow clap* Fucking yes. No drugs no booze. Fucking finally.. I am no longer alone.
NEVER do drugs it screws up your brain
Alcohol is almost as bad
Smoking......that's just...terrible
I voted 'Normal'. The only thing slightly not normal about it is that you've made up your mind so soon,, to which I say,, good for you. You tried those things, didn't like them so quit. Obviously, you've already proven yourself capable of resisting peer pressure which is never a bad thing. That you discover stuff for yourself, then form an opinion about it is encouraging. Good luck with your studies.
I don't do any of those things either, outside of medication I need to take (which I only take as prescribed). I've never even tried any of those things either! Part of me feels like the odd person out for never doing those things, especially when I know so many people who have.
Want to join my club! I am all for it! Also not all religions prohibit drinking.
Weed made me a smarter and overall more aware person. I feel like I have some sort of a third eye in between my brain. I can see everything clearly
