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. :)
Is it normal that I don't drink, smoke or do drugs?
