The only way you're going to find out why this guy is the way he is, is to get to know him and simply ask him.

There could be hundreds of reasons out there of why he doesn't party. From only partying at small parties to family history of alcohol problems to the simple fact he doesn't like to.

I don't drink because I consider it stupid and compeletely useless I'm really happy without it. Besides it's shitty for the health.

amen brother, that shit is completely uneccessary.


Duh, because at your age that shit is completely unnecessary.

Wait until you get a little older, you'll see the reasons for drinking.

I drink but only a few beers, however when playing games which includes shot I can definitely hold my own.

I dont see any good in it, what does getting buzzed do? what good comes out of it? Fact is most people drink because it makes them look good to their peers,. drinking aint gonna take away from problems, it will just be right back when your off the buzz. Theres no good in it

Some people don't drink because of religion. I don't drink because i believe in God and that drunkeness is a sin. I also don't think that a mass quanity of alcohol is healthy!

Well there could be several reasons why he does this.

First of all, (and the rest of you should take note), it could be because he is trying to show respect for those who are paying for him to be in college. Do you know how many freshmen drop out because they partied too hard? This isn't high school anymore. Not that I'm saying that you SHOULDN'T have fun, but remember, once you get out of college you have to take responsibility for yourself.

Secondly, like other people have mentioned, perhaps he is too busy with school work. Thirdly, he could've had bad experiences with alcohol and could be trying to kick the habit. Lastly, maybe he just plain doesn't like alcohol. Rare as it is, it exists (*points to self* :P).

You could ask him yourself, but do not push him if he says no.

I am a Junior in college and I don't drink because I don't really like it.  I dislike the taste of alcohol, and while I do enjoy getting buzzed once in awhile, I don't like being drunk.  There are many other better, safer drugs (read: cannabis) to do that alcohol.

What are some reasons for MEN not to drink in college??? Could it be a bad experience with alcohol?



Not all men like to drink. Some think that school is important and not just a time to party and move out of mommy and daddys house. Some actually want an education and care about their future. And others dont. There is a way to balance your "social" and your "schoo" life, some just do it better than others, or reall are just not into drinking, for numerous reasons im sure.
