As somebody who also doesn't drink, abstaining is a decision you'll never regret.

That's because you don't know what you're missing

I don't tease people who don't like alcohol. They generally have good (and strong emotional) reasons for not doing so. In JT's case, I was kinda sad to hear it, cuz I wanted to go out for a beer with him when he visited his in-laws in the Jax area.

To each their own...
I know some people who really don't like the effects...
And others who, if they drink, can't control themselves.

I don't give people grief for decisions like this.

I don't tease people who are just content with non-consumption (heck, my girlfriend is an abstainee). I tease people who shove their moralist views about alcohol down our throats. I do the same with those who shove their moralist views about sex down our throats

But f JohnT has strong emotional reasons for not drinking, I didn't wish to offend.

What I can't stand are people who really try to push drugs or alcohol on abstainees. Or look at us like we've got 3 heads. Anti-moralists are more missionary than moralists in my experience.

It's not a decision. I'm allergic to alcohol. I discovered this during my First Communion, when I projectile vomited all over the Bishop.

Soooooooooooooooo true

But yeah... Adults can make up their own mind... even if they make the wrong decision. I hate when either side tries to cram their personal view down your throat

Alcohol is good for disinfection and cleansing

Public declarations of sobriety are devices used by the dull and timid in an attempt to make themselves seem less crashingly dull than they really are.

Alcohol is great.
