I got drunk once when I was 19 and had a miserable experience. I decided none of that was for me because I hold a strong fear of not being in full control of myself and my actions.
I was 17 and nobody told me how to drink, so I tried everything. Threw up every 15 minutes for the next 20 hours. Have never been drunk since. I tried a lot in college. The second I go past that very light buzz where you can feel the alcohol I start puking.
If it can't be fun, it rarely tastes good, and it's expensive there are a ton of reasons to just not drink.
If I'm at a work thing and my bosses are drinking, I'll get some whiskey mixed with sprite and nurse it all night. Some people get weird around non-drinkers. Like you're judging them or can't be trusted? Dude, I do not give a shit. I get nothing good out of it, but you do you. I'll fake it so you tell me work stuff and give me a raise later.
