Is it normal to hate drugs/alcohol?

From an objective standpoint, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with enjoying a person enjoying a few drinks responsibly every once in a while, or getting high with friends or for medical reasons. But I just hate seeing that stuff or it being around me. I grew up with an alcoholic dad and mom who smokes weed and now vapes, so maybe that’s the cause? I just hate it all, I refuse to use any products with weed in them (a friend once offered me a weed salve to help with a bug bite that was annoying me, but I wouldn’t take it) and seeing alcohol in any person’s home (especially my own) makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Is this normal, or am I a prude or something?

    More often than not when people use drugs or alcohol, they tend to get obnoxious.

    There are some people who can enjoy a drink or other drugs and still act normal or at least not act like a dumb ass. The people who do it as a lifestyle though are the ones to avoid. They typically do not keep the best company either.

    It's not normal to be that uncomfortable with booze. To do some arm-chair psychology here, I imagine it stems from the experiences you label as you were growing up.

    Booze/drugs aren't exactly good, but the reactions you posses seem to be something akin to a phobia. What's it like for you when you chill round people who get wasted or do drugs?

    It's normal for you, because you would be what is considered an adult child of an alcoholic. The sight of alcohol, and weed probably triggers bad memories of your parents. I assume they were abusive, and or neglectful.

    Check out the website for Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families.

    People will do what and when they want. Myself - I feel things in moderation. Even if it's a 5th of tequila or weed of your favorite strain. Everything in moderation.

    I'm almost like that. I drink 2 beers and one shot of bourbon a year. I HATE drunks. I hate the dramatics and arguments that go with drinking. My wife gets dramatic and difficult 2 to 4 times a week and I ignore her till the next day and many times I'm still angry the next day after he's forgotten. It's ruined our marriage.

      Yeah I can see that happening. I don't think weed is deadly and I think people should be free to smoke it. However most of the people I've encountered who smoke it seem to either be more socially inept than me or they're just "holier than thou" jerks about some things. XD

    I mean hating weed is illogical. Hating the way it is abused and certain types, Indica for example that makes you feel lazy is ok. But some of it for actual medkcal reasons shouldn't bother you to be around. I understand alcohol. I don't like being around people that drink at all either.

    Drugs is a huge subject. Alcohol could be easily abused, but if not, don't be offended.

    Why do you care? If you don't want drugs then don't take them. It doesn't matter if someone near you happens to have some on them on mentions them

    It's normal to not like drugs and alcohol as long as you're not preachy toward others that do it.
