I am apt to make that choice myself as well. Just because your friends like getting drunk doesn't mean that you should be required to as well, and there is nothing wrong with having different opinions on this matter from your friends. I agree. Don't let peer pressure or the need to fit in drag you down. Kadisha Posted at 5:11 am on Sep. 5, 2009 But the thing is, I don't really like drinking that much.  I don't like how my personality changes.  Wine makes me dull.   I prefer not to drink. Evolutionism Posted at 10:45 pm on Aug. 13, 2009 Say no. If you don't want to drink, than don't. If they give you shit about that, than find yourself new friends. vicky09039 Posted at 4:01 pm on June 18, 2009 If you don't want to drink, then don't drink no one is forcing you to. I know how you feel though but i love drinking but hate how being drunk feels. so i would do whatever you want to do. But that is a pretty good solution. HowAboutsNo Posted at 7:53 pm on May 17, 2009 or you could stink to soft drinks and no alcohol, personally with the negative effects alcohol has on you, if i dont intend on getting drunk i prefer not to drink at all Daydreamer3 Posted at 7:53 pm on May 17, 2009 Don't drink at all...Would they make fun of you or something? MushroomSatsujin Posted at 7:49 pm on May 17, 2009 Or just quit. Say you dont want to drink redhotchilis64 Posted at 7:49 pm on May 17, 2009 Do whatever you feel comfortable with. If you don't want to drink a lot, don't. mrs spiggott Posted at 7:49 pm on May 17, 2009 Just don't drink.  I take like half a drink and I'm bouncing off the walls lol, so apparently I have a really low tolerance of it.   But anyway, if you like who you are when you don't drink, don't like to drink, and have low tolerance to it, then why drink?
