How many of you are non-drinkers?

Two words. Two simple words that are connected to drinking alcoholic beverages. (I like to call them cocktails, because, thats what they are. They are cocktails of different chemicals and we consume them to get high. No one but us, us true junkies, see alcohol in its true dirty, synthetic, mad scientist light. We feed yeast huge amounts of sugar and, regular yeast insn't enough for our advanced, 21st century society, oh no. We need to use hybridized yeast fungus, yes, hybridized. We don't just throw some bread yeast into a glass mug, with a few mashed raw potatoes and a teaspoon of cane sugar, let it sit for a few weeks, and then boil it over a camp fire until its condensed into 1/4th its volume. That was the 19th century and its obsolete to the MAX now. NOW, ohhh boy, now is a whole new game. We need hybridized yeast that our mad scientists spent a decade creating, in million dollar labs funded by billion dollar lads. This hybrid yeast eats 10 times more sugar molecule and pisses 10x more potent alcohol. Now, now we have to add more sugar, AND more yeast, throughout the fermentation process, because, well, the hybrid yeast consumes more sugar, creating more potent alcohol, and more alcohol in general, the yeast is resistant to high alcohol volumes, AND it is hybridized to not die as soon as regular yeast, but still, it dies, it dies a little less quickly than traditional yeast, only a little less quickly, because, it also pisses more alcohol, which kills it. (you'd die too if you swam around in your own piss and shit with no oxygen for 2 months, hybridized or not :P) Anyways, they add more sugar, they add more yeast, and in return, the hybrid yeast gives us more alcohol, and more potent alcohol. Then, instead of boiling this "wine" or "mash" over a "crude" camp fire like the olden days... OHHH, now we need to make it in BULK because our population has exploded to unhealthy and un-standardized levels. The agriculture facet of society has exploded and is feeding us more and more unhealthy garbage, higher and higher volumes. ;) We're suffocating ourselves. Million dollar corporations, with millions of dollars invested in million-dollar equipment. 2000 gallon drums with sophisticated heating elements that need tons of permits which need tons of money to keep up to date. These giant copper coated tin Chinese imported drums boil thousands of gallons of this hybridized alcohol mash and a giant copper tube collects every morsel and every drop of the evaporated liquid and spits it out into another million dollar drum that automatically transfers into a million dollar filtering system which transfers back into another drum, and then into another filtration system, and then another drum, and then another filtration system, and then, then, thennnnnnnnnnn, one lonely man (who desperately needs a raise to afford the escalade his wife literally cries herself to sleep over each night it comes up in conversation with her coworkers earlier in the day) (who, coincidentally, is actually very content with her... financial caste, err, "bracket" if you will, but, still "RELATES" and "sympathizes" with the people she hears about on the news that are also "struggling" to keep their $600,000 suburban homes) (who, and this is the last parenthesis, I promise, who... "coincidentally, are... "republicans" or, [and heres the funny part, right?] "tea-partiers" right? They feel they need to protest against the government because this economy is really screwing with the exchange rate of their mutual funds. "WE ARE BROKE! MY WIFE HASN'T HAD A JOB IN A YEAR AND A HALF!! DON'T YOU GET IT? THE US IS IN A RECESSION, WE ARE COMPLETELY BROKE... I'm SORRY sir!!" they exclaim as they walk by the homeless man that sells art outside of/sleeps in the alley next to their son's karate classes building) ONE man, stands by the tiny LCD screen, next to the plexiglass box surrounding the bottling and capping machine, checking to ensure all is going well, before the loaded 6 packs are picked off the conveyer belt and placed into krates and shoved into trucks and brought to big warehouses where more broke men are dying for raises and checking LCD screens and going home to blonde wives and two kids and a big trampoline in their back yard next to the hot tub and pool and the shitty 7 year old minivan with the embarrassing 3/4ths inch thick dual LCD screens with barney and the wiggles playing for the kids parked in the garage. ALL to make this stupid, silly, funny, weird, grassy, brown, hop flavored drink, that the man loading the truck embarrassingly drinks 3/4ths of a 30 pack of a night, and his wife polishes off the rest of them. The same wife who cries herself to sleep every night that one of her coworkers points out that all of her tires are dangerously bald, on her 1995 chevy caprice, and the donut on the front passengers side loses enough air to appear flat every 2 days and the kids are out of pawl-mart's brand cap'n'crunchballs and the super-nintendo isn't enough for them anymore, IS IT? Noo, now they want a PS3 like all of their friends! (Even though they got them to agree to the Super Nintendo just 3 months ago, because they promised them they could get tons more games and more presents with it than if santa them an xbox360 for christmas. Now its just a joke to them. And they say "WE'RE BROKE!! DON'T YOU GET IT? WE'RE IN A RECESSION BUDDY! SORRY!!" everytime they pass by that guy that sells his wacky art down the street from their favorite pizza joint, and the package store where his wife works and they get the hybridized beer and the hybrid booze from the hybridized yeast... and the CEO and the Owner and the shareholders in his family make millions every year and, meanwhile... well.. both of these families are "struggling" ...aren't they. ;)
 
Loveee me some ice cold brewskis. The effects alcohol has on me has actually increased in pleasurability over the years.

And i agree with the person that said the peak of the effects are before the actual drunk state. I more often drink for the taste and to acheive a slight buzz, rather than the drunkeness, sloppy and annoying state.
 
I'm an adamant avoider of virtually all types of alcohol. I like the occasional glass of wine or port since I like the flavour. I don't drink for the psychoactive properties, and everything else just tastes rank to me. For someone who is heavily into drugs, the only drug I actively dislike is the most popular drug of all. I also partly blame my experience with other drugs for my dislike of alcohol.

How many of you (particularly on a drug-centred forum) are also stoic non-drinkers?

DC mods by all means merge this into a bigger thread if one already exists.

WOW i thought i was like the only or definately part of a VERY small crowd....i have consumed basically all drugs and really like stimulants, enactogens, and cannabis....drinking feels good only right when it kicks in for me (like ten minutes of euphoria) then i get really sick, talk too much, and REALLY start to crave stimulants....
 
I never ever liked alcohol. The only times I've ever had it, it made me feel odd; I heard voices in my head. I am 22, so I have been of legal age for a while. I hate going to the bar. I hate everything about alcohol. I hate it. I can count the number of times I have consumed alcohol on one hand. It must be very difficult to be a recovering alcoholic, though; I mean, it must suck seeing liquor stores and advertisements for booze all over :(

Exactly the same for me! The Come-up is the only part of the alcohol (experience) which I can enjoy. But after that, I feel confused (not in a good way), tired ,extremely introverted and feeling depressed. The day after sucks² , even if I only drink 1-2 beer on the evening before. It feels just too toxic for my taste...

My circle with alcohol : abstain, abstain, abstain .. etc .... after weeks/months me thinks :"hey why not have a beer today!" .. feeling nice for 10-30 min.... the day after me thinks :"ohh yes... now I know again why alcohol is not my DOC" ... abstain, abstain etc...

That is my exact circle with Alcohol as well.
 
I don't like alcohol either, but mainly because it's SO present in my country (France). I hate alcohol culture, although I would'nt be honest if I didn't say that I really like a glass of fine wine from time to time (mainly during special events, like birthday parties, Christmas and so on).
 
i like to drink, much less now than before i used drugs, but i hate the superior "alcohol is terrible!" attitude i sometimes find among drug users.
 
I'll drink maybe once every 2 months or so - so to say, get fairly drunk. I'll have a drink a bit more often than that, but usually it's at shows / events, and not at home - that gets expensive quick so I hardly get drunk there either.

I'd much rather have a well thought out pharma cocktail or some LSD haha. :)

Cigarettes are also a huge turn-off for me, in every way. An acid trip a few years ago made them unsettle me in entirety. Not a bad thing in the long run.. just a weird afternoon to deal with at the time (I was on a medium dose in the woods hanging on a tree and got sickening vertigo that lasted for much longer than welcomed).
 
^^god i want soem cid now. i was going to by a couple hundred mics from my dude this weekend, but he ran out :(

drinking by myself is depressing and almost never do it. drinking with friends at a bar or party is a different story.
alcohol is definitely low down there on my recreational scale of drugs, but it's high than ciggs! that's for sure
 
I wouldn't choose to describe myself as a "stoic non-drinker," but alcohol is the substance I indulge in least.

I really, really enjoy wine and port wine as well, and I like going to wine-tastings and such. I like beer, but I'm not a real beer-drinker and I wouldn't consider myself to be a beer snob as many of my friends might. (My favorite beers are all of the popular ones: Blue Moon, Hoegaarden, Stella, and Magic Hat's Circus Boy.) Hard liquor... uh, well, vodka... occasionally, and tequila.

But at any rate, yeah, drinking is not something I do often.
 
As a drug alcohol is trash, as a "food" it is OK. I've never been much of a drinker but because of recent anxiety issues it is the only thing available to me that calms me down.

My rule is I drink alone, period and it has never failed me. Most drinking culture is beyond obnoxious and I want absolutely no part of it. I drink to relax.
 
I don't drink and I'm proud! :)

I have nothing against people who can handle alcohol but I'm biased by an unproportional amount of alcoholics/people who can't handle it.

I can't drink due to medical conditions, not to mention with the medications I take a drop of alcohol would probably kill me, lol.
 
I used to drink to get drunk, I drink now to wet my tongue, I know longer like the intoxicating feeling alcohol, Hangovers were horrible, fights would start, then I tried MDMA, and fell in love, I much rather hugging strangers, being in control of my actions ( except for my jaw) then being a slob falling around the place
