drinking

[dogs4thewin]

How many of you drink or intend to drink upon reaching legal age?

 

[ladybuelah]

I do, but I'm sensible with it. I really don't see the point in getting drunk.

 

[dogs4thewin]

I am turning 21 ( the legal drinking age) in the states in under two weeks and am excited that finally I can drink.

 

[KTskater]

I will. I don't see anything wrong with a beer when grilling out, or wine with a nice dinner.

As far as going out and getting trashed...it's not gonna happen.

I have alcohol occasionally and in moderation, as was common among Christians until the neo-Pietists came along after the invention of the refrigerator and mass transportation, and decided that fermentation must be evil even though it had been essential to the survival of the human race until that point.

Never drank in my entire life. I'm in my mid 20's... I don't plan on starting either.

I'm 19 and have had a few sips of things with family (and ONLY family). A lot of my friends (and even younger) are really into drinking, partying every weekend. I'm not like that and never have been. My weekends in high school were spent at home watching movies, while all of my friends were getting wasted. Just not my thing.

Will I have a drink every once in a while when I am of legal age? Sure. Will I get drunk? Absolutely not.

I drink once in a while, but not enough to get drunk.

 

[puddleoffaith]

I don't enjoy the taste of alcohol but I am not against drinking. I will have a drink or two now and then, if it's a social affair.

 

[RobertMerton]

I very rarely drink.

I also have one of those 5ml tiny cups of wine during communion.

Trying to get away from the party scene in a college town is harder than I thought, all my friends go out, we usually get drunk...meaning being hungover on Sunday and not going to church and following Gods will...I signed up recently because I looking for support. Not saying I'm a alcoholic but when I do go out it gets out of hand.

I am of legal age but I don't drink. I don't plan to either.

My advice, from personal experience: only drink around people who will practice mutual accountability with you. Do not drink alone, and do not drink "socially" if you're tempted to go along with the crowd.

Oh I never drink alone..thats why I don't go out at months and months at a time.

 

[kittysbecute]

I've never had much interest in drinking alcohol, so I don't do it.

 

[RebornBen]

Well I live in Finland so it's hard not to. People around here start drinking at around 14-16. I drink from time to time but very moderately.

 

[MacFall]

Finland! That's where Korpiklaani is from! =D

 

[RebornBen]

Hah indeed it is! Where have you heard of them?

 

[MacFall]

I ran into them on someone's folk metal playlist on YouTube and immediately started buying their stuff.
