Would you ever be teetotal?
 

One to have a think about on St Patrick's day :think:

The chick has tried it, oh she has tried it. But something about those Dark Fruits and Stella that lure her back in for another romp!

I think I could, it's something I've considered for a while. I usually go months without drinking anyway and then when I do it's from feeling pressured in social situations rather than actually wanting it.

I've always been teetotal, lots of people over the years have said they would love to be able to go out and have a good time without the need to drink.

Yes, I am.

Alcohol is extremely overrated and drunk people are the worst :umm2:

No, never.

I could if I had to be. But I dont want to be, I enjoy a few drinks wih the #lads

Changed the title to would for a more definitive answer :oh:

I wish it wasn’t so calorific :(

The bevvies with the girls have me looking like Miss Plump?

Yes.
My life depends on it.

Quite easily tbh. I only drink once in a while as it is, the vast majority of my meet ups with friends don't include alcohol so whenever I do drink I have a great time because it's more of an event (and the rarity of it means I'm a huge lightweight).

I'm not sure I would because as I said I enjoy it when I do but it wouldn't really make a difference to my social life if I did.

I pretty much am, I had 3 WKD’s for my 21st last June and a mouthful of some elderflower tasting drink the other night in the last year or so.

I already am

:joker:

lol no alcohol is my one pleasure in life

I am sweetie, would much prefer to drink a Coke Vanilla or a Lucozade.

shocked at this, you seem as if you’re a cocktail person

I definitely could, I really only drink once every couple months usually. Maybe a different story like 5 years ago (or earlier) --- but still I've never been all that crazy about drinking. The only reason I wouldn't though is because then there's that one night every once in a while that I'm ready to get ****ed up. :joker:

Probably not but I don't drink that much anyway, only at parties/special occasions

I practically already am. I meet up with old friends from school every 6 months or so and we throw back a few, and I'll have a drink at events like weddings / "adults only" parties but that's it. I don't drink casually e.g. in the house (or in fact ever at all around the kids) so basically I only have any alcohol maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

I wouldn't say I judge people for enjoying alcohol or for drinking - but I do think the fact that it's socially accepted as "normal" that a huge number of people have a functional / low level alcohol dependence is pretty worrying :shrug:.

Nah the pub is too big a part of my life - it's where I catch up with friends, where I go to unwind, I play darts there every Monday, we go there after every cricket match and it's just where I go if I fancy some company. I live in a small village so it is pretty much the only social outpost

Could of course go there and not drink alcohol but that would be weird

You won't be saying that when you're old enough to buy though tbh

To me its not a state that needs to be defined. You drink or you don't. There is no necessity to pigeon hole it

i dont like going down the pub just for a soft drink, it feels like going to mcdonalds for a salad or wrap
