Same here.

I agree with that, which is why I don't bother with whisky. Pretty much the only one I like is Jamieson, and the fancier the whisky the less I typically like it. But I never had to learn to like wine, or cognac or tequila. I just did. Not to even mention the plethora of sweet liqueurs, and of course, all the many delicious cocktails. Who needs to "learn to like" a piña colada? Puhleez.

Exactly - WHY actually put in EFFORT to become enslaved to a $ pit and ( usually) negative thing for your health, and become just another adult who's living like a middle schooler - has to go along to be cool - ... ?? Now, I on the other hand always liked beer. Not necessarily any and all brands equally. Always, as in, since as far back as I can remember, Dad would let us take sips of his. As a hardworking dairy farmer, he'd have usually no more than 1 or w a day, IF at all, and usually only in the warmer months. Often going days or weeks without any, esp. by my teens when we were much poorer for a while. So, I never had to push past any gag reflex that I know of ( and pry wouldn't have, willingly ! ). I am a very practical gal though and also love yummy food more than drink, so, would always rather save that $ or health or wellness exceptions for something I wanted more, like a homestead or cherries or pudding.

@AlWorth9738 My (adult) son loves spicy foods and has been working his way up to ghost peppers. A simple jalapeño can end my evening... 🥵

@AlWorth9738 Ahh, no. One can learn to love and appreciate some foods, I mean, kids used to hate broccoli, say, but to learn to love a substance that could destroy your life, and does, many. Not the same.

I have an uncle who drinks and has lost most of his life savings. Now he is over 70 and still drinks and is using up his pension and 401k.

I lost weight, saved money and look younger. Blood pressure went down and I sleep better.

Same. Stopped about 3-4 months into the pandemic, and quite literally everything was better for it. More money, healthier looking skin, a better attitude, and I got 2 kittens (not kittens anymore 😂) who I refuse to let down in any way. I feel like my fur-babies became my 'booze' because I'm addicted to those cute little furry faces 🐈‍⬛️🐈🥰!

​@@edithdlp8045Oh man... that must be so hard and heartbreaking 🥺

Congrats to you all. On behalf of those who will drink away all the money you leave behind when you shuffle off this mortal coil, thanks! 👍

The Best!

@@jimmccarthy6294same here!

@@jimmccarthy6294congrats btw! 🎉😊

There are many of us. 65 and never wanted it.

Many of us😊

Especially with a Dry Bar.

You can do it brother! Conquering addiction IS POSSIBLE. It's not as hard as (we*) seem to make it seem man! Satans a liar! We don't need all that poison garbage to make us "feel happy, secure, better........" I pray that you overcome alcoholism in the name of Jesus ! And I pray that I overcome my addiction as well! Be strong ! Stay strong ! Dont lose faith ! The Lord is here with us and he is guiding us every step of the way - we just have to help him help us* - We have to do our part.

Hey, just an F.Y.I., replacing alcohol with the plant "Kratom" from Indonesia helped me quit drinking. Do your own research on how much to take and the different colors/ strains for different effects. It is even euphoric feeling at the right dose, and no hangover. You'll want to take it on a relatively empty stomach. It's a lot healthier than drinking at least. It can help get you off of alcohol long enough to not need it anymore

Find a 12-step programme. You’re not an alcoholic, you’re a person with an addiction, and addictions can be broken free of with the right intervention.

hi ,this could literally help you overcome your addiction, you can search neville goddard healing videos or joe dispenza meditation (watch testimony of healed people) you can aslo search book the secret

hi ,this could literally help you stop drinking,search neville goddard and joe dispenza meditation (watch testimony of people) /you can also search book called the secret

Congrats to your Dad 👏 👏 👏 . I don't drink but my grandfather did. He died of Pancreatic Cancer, a consequence of decades of drinking.

@@edithdlp8045 oh man I am sorry, my condolences 🙏🏻 yeah addiction is tough man..psh.. just terrible. It sucks. Life is hard in general. Just have to stay strong and thank the Lord for everyday that He gives us.

That's great news! It's so hard to do. My dad was an alcoholic for years. He finally stopped when I was 15, a little late but better late than never! He's been clean for 12years now and I couldn't be prouder ♥️

Or as I like to say - “if you feel like you need to have a drink, then maybe you’re hanging out with the wrong people “

And I do t understand why it’s a turn off - I’m, let’s see, my beverages will cost less and I’ll be able to safely drive anyone home at any time.

Absolutely. It still is a poison that must be avoided, because of its grave negative social, economic, and health implications. I really respect societies that have banned alcohol as a whole.

It's a tool to control the masses

I belong to your club. I am 48 and like he says one drink was enough for me to say never again.

​@@edithdlp8045My spouse and I are both the same. But yet I have a collection of shot glasses. 😂

For sure. Respect to their stage people.

I often ask the people who act like there is something wrong with me because I don't drink to cite one good thing that happened to them in their life BECAUSE they drink and that would not have happened if they didn't drink. 99 Out of 100 can't name a single thing. 1 Couple who were raging alcoholics and embarrassing themselves all evening with their over the top behavior, actually said, "We would never have met eachother." Apparently, they met at a college frat party and were drinking heavily. Their description, not mine. That had been over 10 years prior and they were oblivious to the revelation that, in spite of aging 12 years and getting married, they hadn't matured a single day emotionally. They were literally emotionally arrested at 18 and never advanced beyond their college drinking days. Their entire existence revolved around the consumption of alcoholic beverages beverages. Sad, really. The next day, at a breakout session, all they could talk about was how hammered they had gotten the night before, how sick they felt, and how they were the last people from our group left at the club and had "Closed the place down." Nobody in the group was impressed. It was truly embarrassing. 😬

"Here comes the chaser!" 😅

Stephanie. We all know "Stephanie". 😅

Bahahaha! I remember that one! 😂

Yeah, it's like they feel sorry for you. 😂

Yeah, one really stands out if one does not drink. Annoying people.

​@@dawnjohnson8739In my opinion is better to be left out than an alcoholic. I have never fallen to pressure.

It’s sucks to be around drunks. You feel like a policeman at the party, making sure things don’t get out of hand. The worst is driving the knuckleheads home.

WHAT? Wow, sober and a hypocritical Christian 👏🏼

What I do or don't do is no one else's business, is my attitude. If asked "What would you like to drink?" when out, I'll just say I'd love an orange juice or similar "soft" drink. I never mention that I don't drink. No one ever presses me on it, because it's not open for discussion.

I tried not to and ended up M D ing out of my nose.ah .memories

Thank you! Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that!

That was hilarious! "Here comes the chaser!" 😂😂😂

I also did a shot when he mentioned shots

That’s why most people drink, to tolerate other people who drink, and people who don’t drink.

They would have busted you unless you can stand on one foot, say the alphabet backwards, pat your head, and rub your tummy all at the same time.

And a little like Lou Rawls too. 😊
