Never had an alcoholic drink nor do I ever plan to. Not sure why the OP is pushing people to drink...

 

Eh? Why? You Mormon?

 

 

You ever done XTC?

What's that got to do with anything? That's a) illegal b) unregulated thus dangerous b) can'tbe done in moderation c) only done to get high, not because of flavour etc.

Not being funny, but that is a really immature stance to take on alcohol.

While your b) is incorrect, you misinterpreted my point. I'm not saying alcohol = XTC, but it's absurd someone should "defend" why they don't drink alcohol yet when doing other, arguably less dangerous substances, it's the complete opposite.

Yes, drinking alcohol is the norm. That doesn't mean there is any less risk involved (probably even more).

For the record, I do enjoy alcohol every now and then.

Erm, last I checked, XTC is still very illegal and anything related to the MDMA group of drugs is illegal and unregulated, hence dangerous.

It is not a case of defend, but merely reason. If the vast majority of people do something and you do not, and it is not necessarily a bad thing, then that makes the person abnormal thus they shoud at least be prepared to reason why. If someone said "I don't lke getting drunk & I get drunk easily", or "the price is too high" etc, then fair enough. But to say "I don't like the taste" is the same as saying "I don't like films because of the plot". It makes no sense as it is a wee bit pants-on-head retarded :p
