any teetotalers on tc?

Me, never touched the stuff and don't plan to. I can still go out with my mates and have a laugh sober, to me if you can't have a good time with your mates without being * then if doesn't say too much about your personality. Drink culture in the UK scares me though, I've been on 2 'lads holidays' and saw some scary *. Just don't see why people feel the need to drink so much. It's not just students, teenagers, young adults though, it seems to be a cultural thing that everyone drinks. Alcohol adverts are on every TV channel during every ad break, yet it's illegal to advertise cigarettes, which aren't nearly as dangerous. Makes no sense to me.

 

if im on a night out i always start on a few pints but it never lasts long, i move onto pints of vodka and redbull, then some jagerbombs, few shots sambuca maybe, couple aftershocks, until im blackout drunk

 

pretty much sums it up mate

 

Spot on mate.

It's just sad. I'm 16, yet when I'm at a party, I am the odd one out. People don't understand why I don't drink, crazy.

And now today, on facebook and twitter, people in my year and even the year or two years below me are complaining about having a hangover and needing to 'whitey'.

I worry for some of their futures

 

More or less,last times I drank were before the Barca game and then Juventus,just went off it,drinking every almost every single weekend since you were in school gets tedious.Also realised how much drunk people completely suck.

 

when i was about 11/12 i used to get a sip of cider at new year and that was it up until 15 then i'd have a few cans with my dad and brother watching the football but since i started having palpitions(non drink related) i stopped alcohol althogether and didn't miss it one bit and if i ever get off my tablets for my heart i wont go back to it also never smoked in my life and never will

 

Yep I still have mates that go or sit in the same places drinking every weekend just like in the school days.

And they wonder why I'm hardly ever about lol

 

I love a drink every weekend. But I can control it to a certain point where I just go home when I feel tired.

 

I laugh at these people. :icon_mrgreen:

 

I don't drink or smoke. I'd never do drugs.

So yes, I guess you could class me as teetotal. My last drink was about three summers ago.

 

alcohols always been a bit of a rollercoaster ride tbh,but ive had some of my best times ever on it,folk always want to focus on the negative side

 

its the same for me when i'm at my mates house and theres a few of us they'll have buckie or whatever and go why you not drinking and keep winding me up about it i just tell them ask me the same question tomorrow when you've spewed and i'm fine although its going to get worse as i'm 18 in 2 months and now they're going to want to go to the pub

 

I am not a big drinker, go out maybe 2/3 times a month, i always just take out 20 quid with me so i know firstly i won't waste money and secondly i won't have a disastrous hangover the next morning.

Now 20 quid is still enough to get pretty drunk with pound drinks. I understand the concern, i myself never was or will be a person who always wants to go out, got mates who go out 2 times a week. Just don't see the point. Surely going out every so often makes it better. Going out too many times just dilutes the experience.

Went out last friday with a load of mates, bout 12 of us, first time we all went out in months, it was fantastic, if we did that regularly the excitement would dwindle.

So im not teetotal but i know my limits.

 

I wish I had the moral strength to be a teetotaler - I really do. I admire those who can manage it.

 

Didn't expect to see you in this thread mate

 

Never really have a problem with it. Generally speaking I know when to stop.

 

got a beer in a glass now so naw not a teetotaler but i dont abuse it .

 

Could go a few beers now

 

I very seldom drink these days and have only had one night of drinking this year.

On my way to being a semi tee-totaller.
