I drink pretty often, at least every weekend. Never enough to get drunk and definitely never enough to get sick or hung over.

Actually, I have a bit of a confession:
I get a lot more active around here when I'm tipsy. If you want to play a game of guess whether Soda Fox is drinking and ask me, I will answer you honestly and probably ramble really in depth with you about whatever you want.

uh, I would be what you call a frequent user. School and work is hard and nothing takes the edge off better to me than an ice cold beer. It can definitely be a social thing, and I love that atmosphere of it. Do I pressure those around me who don't drink to do it, absolutely not, its a personal choice and you should honor whatever someone wants to do. This post is making me want to open a beer.....

people are gonna think I'm an alcoholic or something.... but no. I took a class on wine, and becoming more open to trying different beers, worked as a bartender and enjoyed making/ experimenting with cocktails.

If it's any consolation I don't think you're an alcoholic. Imo an alcoholic can't stop even when it costs then their job, ability at school, their families, etc. It's all about knowing your limits.

yeah I may drink too much some nights and suffer for it the next day, but I plan these nights ahead of time and don't look for sympathy for it lol

It's 7:20 on a wednesday
 
^New Belgium? They're the Budweiser of craft beer. :p

I drink, sometimes too often. Much better than when I was actively backpacking, I had a serious problem then. Knowing my limits means I very rarely get absolutely ****faced though so I'm overall pretty functional. Every Wednesday I attend a board/card gaming meetup that rotates to different breweries so I'm guaranteed to be drinking that night.

My roommate & I also have a full bar setup but I only really ever use it when I have friends over or I'm pre-gaming for an event.

Don't be one of those people who judges based on taste in beer! I do like all the light domestics, and I said I was getting into beer still
 
I like drinking beer in the summer but, not more than a bottle. I wouldn't drink more than one and can't anyways.
I also think drinking is ok.

Drinking is alright, as long as it's in moderation. For me it is definitely more of a social thing so I'll never drink alone, it's always with family or friends, and very rarely. Last time I went a little overboard, but good times were had so I can't complain.

I tried beer not too long ago. Couldn't stand it lol.
 
Only sometimes. Even though I'm legally allowed to drink I still feel a bit weird about it even though I'm almost 20.
 
I like drinking every now and again. I only drink juice with vodka in it.
 
Sometimes, like 5 times a year at dinners, Christmas... I would drink more if I had money for that. When I was little I was stealing drinks adults let on the tables at parties, so the first time I got drunk I was 18 months old, since I learned to hold my liquor.

Never have, never will.

95% of the people in my family used to be, or are alcoholics. It is very bad, and I don't want anything to do with it. I see how it makes people and I want no part in it.
 
I understand the appeal of social drinking and partook on very rare occasions during college, but losing the ability to think and behave rationally freaks me out. I'm too much of a control freak and it's just really not my thing.
 
I'm not sure there's a poll option for me. A few months after I turned 21 I tried a little bit. Even saying "a little" might be exaggerating. I had sips of beer and it was awful. It...tasted like I'd imagine what urine would taste like. Why would I drink that? Yuck! I had a sip of a fruity drink, and it made me gag, and overall didn't taste special... If I want something fruity I'll just drink juice.

I quickly decided it simply wasn't a taste worth acquiring. So I fit into the "Never will, it's disgusting" category, but I did try a little in the beginning. A little.

Lot of commoner beers taste like cat pee and stuff like coolers are rather disgusting. I think you should start with high quality champagne ;)
 
I'm still underage, but I don't plan to drink alcohol at all once I am. Accidentally tasted it once 'cause parents made smoothies and I got confused over which one was alcohol-free and which one wasn't, and it tasted really gross to me that I spit it out immediately. Never again. lol

No thanks. As I noted in the end, it isn't a taste worth acquiring for me. It's for the best, and I'm happy that way.
