    Sounds normal to me. You sound like someone who wants to stay away because it's illegal and because of how your dad was as a result of it. Just hold out another year til your 21 then enjoy it if you want, or don't if you don't want to still. Just because 21 is the legal drinking age doesn't mean you have an obligation to drink on your 21st or even ever.

    I can't say I'd recommend it. If you try it, though, do it with beer or weak wine and take it slow. There's a delay between drinking and the full effect of the drink and it catches new drinkers out, making them drink more than they can take. I went mad with overproof vodka and I'm probably lucky to live through what happened.

    That's pretty impressive. Not particularly normal in Western societies to have managed to abstain for so long :P

    Only if you feel you want to drink. I think you should start with beer if its your first time.

    Yes it's normal. Everyone is different. Google 'Teetotaler'. (I don't either, btw)

    It's completely normal. Look up deathanol! There's a facebook page about it.

    The shocking thing is that MDMA and MDEA is far safer than alcohol, yet these substances are illegal. Alcohol and street drugs ruin people. MDMA and MDEA do not ruin people. MDMA and MDEA just causes the body to overheat and that's what causes harm. People on E just move to a cooler room and stay hydrated (not overhydrated) and they usually end up fine. Most E being sold is laced with much more harmful chemicals though.

    Yeah that totally normal I had a friend who's Dad was an alcoholic and died because of it so she doesn't touch the stuff. But i wouldn't let your Dad's problems stop you drinking if you want to just don't go overboard and you will be fine :)
