So I don't drink or do drugs at all. I am 24 and I have been this way since I was in school. All my friends were straight edge like me. Eventually they all started drinking. I can't be be around them when they drink or I get upset. I hate the thought of drinking and can't stand hearing about it or seeing people drink. I can't date anyone who drinks either. I had a girlfriend and best friend who got drunk and slept together on a regular basis behind my back in group sex form. But I hated drinking way before that. I just thinking drinking means that person can't make good decisions and doesn't have self control. But I feel like my hatred for drinking is unhealthy. Also its not like my parents drank. I didn't even know what alcohol was until high school.

    It's normal to think less of people when they drink if you do not drink yourself. Drunk people can be extremely annoying when you are sober, but if you are also drunk they can be quite hilarious and charming.

    You have the right to choose whether to drink or not, and so does everybody else. Not every drinker drinks to excess, though it is unfortunately common in our age group (early/mid 20s). I like drinking, but I don't like getting incapatitated and I don't particularly like hanging around people that do, but those people are still people. Just keep that in mind.

    Drinking is a personal choose, and others' chooses should be respected no matter how awful they are. So you need to tune it down a little.

    And there's a huge difference between drinking and getting wasted drunk (Alcohol abuse). I Hold great respect for tequila and I really love it(lol)but I never cross the line and get wasted.

    You sound like a real fun guy... Seriously people who can't deal with other adults choices are immature and narcissistic, probably very stale and dry as well. Mayans that why your girl was getting pounded on the regular by this next dude ? Just lay off the idea that you are better than anyone else and you'll be fine. Your friends didn't start drinking so much as they grew up.

    Ah, Yes. The old group sex form. Many a relationship bit the dust because of that.

    Is that the long group sex form or the short one? Never can keep them straight.

    There's nothing wrong with drinking in moderation, it's actually recommended to drink a glass of red wine at lunch. I think it's good for your heart or something like that.

    Do you mean alcoholics or people who simply occasionally have a drink? I've had a few drinks in my life but it has never caused a problem or made me do something I later regretted. A small amount of alcohol does not turn people into nympho group sex freaks.
    People who drink to get drunk; those are your problem makers.

    That's a fair point, there's use and there's abuse. Same could be said of people who drive really fast cars , it's not cool to drive around at 120mph, but it's grand to drive at 40mph. Over doing something is never good.... Unless you're having fun! For me drinking is a nice relaxant, a means of winding down and taming my mind off things, but being wasted drunk is rarely fun, anything that's described as 'wasted' doesn't sound like fun....
