Drinking needs a reason but not the other way around. But do you mean how to deal with the shit of drinkers who outcast us ? This has always been an issue for me too - Any smart suggestions on how to deal with?

I don't go with drinkers. Non drinkers get all the responsibilities to drive, clean up and even "pay equally" when you just ate a pizza

Oh nice, I hardly have a full group of non drinkers. It becomes inevitable as they are all good friends but it gets irritating at times

My father has been drinking from college everyday and he is now 60+. And all I can say is it is very clear comparing him to non drinkers in his age, slow thinking, health issues and what not. Even the way he walks one can easily tell how detrimental alcohol is to the body. People do not realise it in their 20s and 30s cause thats the prime of our health. Once you get into 40+ thats when the issues start, esp for us desk job people - no or less exercise, no body movements, bad eating habits, high stress, late and incomplete sleep. This generation is gonna be in some serious trouble once we all reach 40s. We definitely won’t be like our parents, they were much stronger and natural than us.
For me, there is no such reason. A week before I drank first time just to check how it tastes, so we had cocktails "Manhattan" and "Bloody Mary" Both tasted like shit....then I ask my friends why u drink such things if it doesn't even taste good, they are like bro you don't know that state of mind and bla bla those after effects.............
Then I asked them which type of alcohol tastes good they asked me to try wine......now I'm looking for a wine partner 🤣

Although choice doesn’t require a reason but I feel it is not for me. Its taste sends my mood to hell. And people pretend too much after having it and I dont wanna act in that way, so I am good without it. And I can be the interesting and fun person without external chemical help.

I don't like the taste and smell.

Like to be in control. But i do like red wine which i have very occasionally.

i was, but not anymore :)
