Hi everyone! I just want to ask if you guys are fond of drinking alcoholic beverages? I personally don't drink and its a personal choice of mine. I don't like how the beer taste but I do like baileys! I try to avoid drinking because I don't to get myself hooked on it. My boyfriend borg, does drink and though I don't want him to, I try not to stop him just as long as he knows his limitations. What about you guys... Do you love to drink?

I drink from time to time. Usually about twice to three times a year. Usually the biggest time for me to drink is around the chirstmas holiday when my husband has his work party. We don't have a baby sitter expect for that night so we like to have a few drinks and dance.

I think it still is alright to drink as long as you know your limitations. just like what i said, my boyfriend does drink, I don't necessarily support him but I always remind him not to overdo it. good thing he listens! hehe! Have a nice day! =)

Good thing he's got you to remind him from time to time. Everyone needs that reminder when it comes to things in life.

By you reminding him of taking it slow, or that's enough it shows that you love him and you care about his well being. Though some may take this as you are nagging him, I find it that you just care enough to tell him how you feel about it, and it shows. :)

As long as you take it on moderation and your an occasional drinker then I think that's ok... Remember not to over do it, ok? Hehe! Thank you for taking the time to answer my post! Hope you have a nice day! =)

Most of the people I know also drink every time they are sad. They said it makes them feel a little better afterwards and makes them forget their problem. I don't know if that true...

i used to go out every weekend to the bars with my friends. that was before i met my husband, settled down and had a child. now, i think we've been out maybe less than 5 times. the thought of drinking just doesn't appeal to me anymore. and if i do decide to drink, it's to the point, where if im drinking, i drink to get drunk. gotta make plans to be safe about everything. the first time i got drunk after about a year or so, it took me 2 drinks and a shot, and i was drunk, and the next morning, i had one hell of a hangover. truthfully, if im gonna wake up feeling like that, i want it to be a night that was worthwhile. now, i kinda choose not to go out and drink. not only is it a waste of money, but i have a job, and a lil guy to take care of, and i don't want to have to feel like that anymore.

I drink very rare.Specially in an occasion.But there is a limitation.Only two drinks if i drink whiskey.I think, Drinking is not bad, If you cross your limit, then it will be so harmful.

You are right! Drinking becomes very bad when you take too much and it causes harm not only to you but to others. I think you are responsible though! =) Thank you for commenting on this!

Hi, I used to drink back in 2003. I would drink lightly not heavily. I stopped after that, because I did not want to get hooked on it. That is not my style.. I don't drink anymore. I just did it to fit in with the crowd which is my family, but never again..

Honestly I dont drink much, I mostly just drink on special occasions like new years and maybe on my or someones birthday, and maybe if a friend offers me a drink at a social event, but I didnt grow up with an interest in drinking, I mean most teens, grow up and cant wait until there old enough to drink, but not me in fact when I was young I was never really that interested in drinking dont get me wrong, I did have a mild curiosity about drinking, but it was very mild.

I never drink at all. No matter all of my friends are drinking in occasion. Just yesterday, I had gone to a wedding party, all the friends sitting me were drinking and smoking, only I and my other friend was not drinking. People say, its not good to drink and once we give it a try it becomes habit. But I have give a try just to know the taste. Then I didn't drink at all. Drinking is not bad, if one can remain in their limitations. But personally I refuse to drink. One thing that causes me not to drink is that, I get sick of when I see some drunkards. Their totally silly behaviors, sometimes very annoying, their eagerness to fight, etc. Well I just don't like to get in such activities. People say we should learn good habits from other people, but for me it happens that mostly I learn from such bad habits of other people just that I shouldn't take that habit. Nice post... Happy my lotting.

Personally, I never drink. No matter all of my friends are drinking, I don't take any. Just yesterday, I had gone a wedding party, the friends witting with me were all drinking but I didn't. People say we get used to if we try even once, that's why I have controlled myself not to drink at all from the very beginning. It's not bad to drink to the limitation only. One thing that causes me not to drink is that after getting drunk people forget everything. I see many bad examples of such drunkards. They look totally silly sometimes, sometimes very annoying. And I don't like to be among them. Well people say we should learn the good habits from other person, but for me others bad habit pushes me away from such habits. Nice post...Happy mylotting...

I know how you feel... I also am scared to get hooked on such vice so as not to get hooked on it, I just avoid it! Right? =) Though sometimes I'm curious what I will be like when I'm drunk. One of my friends said that she cries when she's too drunk. That's weird!

Thank you for responding! Let me just say that I'm quiet surprise to hear a lot of people here are not into drinking because most of my friends are all into drinking especially when we go party. I think its also nice to hear from a guy that doesn't have the desire anymore to drink... =)
