At 15 whole caddy of wine coolers, a bathroom that looked like a warzone for cholera victims and an extremely pissed off ex later I discovered drinking isn't as fun as it seems and have been a proud teetotaler ever since.
I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, but for anyone else reading this, drinking doesn't have to end up like that...it's pretty easy to control and moderate how much you're drinking (and by extension how you're acting). If there's someone going crazy at a party, drinking way too much and doing stupid stuff, try not to be around them while they're drinking, because you'll be tempted to drink more too. Do a couple shots if you want, but then try to limit yourself to whatever is in your hand. If you have to, keep track with pen/sharpy on your arm or something so you can see how much you've drank.
If you really don't like alcohol though, there's nothing at all wrong with just not drinking it...but it doesn't have to turn out like the disasters in this thread!
I totally understand. Honestly if it wasn't for the fact the wine coolers tasted like juicy juice, I probably wouldn't have drank anyway. I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Wine, beer and liquor all taste like nail polish to me. It's those sugary candyhols that are scary to me because you can drink and drink then before you know it it's the next morning and you have a whole lot of explaining to do.

Good for you on not drinking!
