What makes you drink alcohol?

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP

...or NOT as the case may be.

I know alcohol typically elevates mood because with fewer associations to bother us, we start living less in our heads, and more in the here and now. It's a way to relax after a hard day at work. It's a social or cultural thing to do and we do it because we like the taste.

I'm curious to know the reason why you drink (or don't). What do you get out of it? What's the reason (if any)? If you've quit or tried to stop but can't, then why?

Mainly due to the stresses of work. It’s an unwind. Sometimes I push it to far and it affects work.

Note to self; drink less. Live more.

Everyone is different I guess.

I've been completely sober 6 months now. I didn't drink everyday but when I did I never wanted to stop until I was in a mess.

Changed my life completely.

If anyone is struggling then my inbox is open for advice and no swinging has to be discussed

Ill just tell you how I did it

I would only drink if I was on a night out...so maybe three times a year at most. I’d drink on Christmas Day but not get d*unk.

I haven’t drank since December as I was pregnant and now I’m breastfeeding.

I enjoy a social libation, infrequently these days I have to say. I am not prone to regularly lone drinking at home, just odd glass of something.

I tend to avoid those who drink the bar dry if they can!

I'm not a big drinker at all, social events only really and I don't go to many of them.

I get jittery if someone drinks regularly as my ex used to lie about drinking and the volume. It concerns me when people drink every day or almost every day and think that just because they aren't getting pissed every day that they don't have a problem.

As a DJ, I used to be out doing gigs most Friday and Saturday nights and couldn't drink due to having to drive there and be professional, so really got into the habit of NOT drinking.

On the odd occasion (that I can count on the fingers of one hand) that I've been d*unk, I never really enjoyed it

I rarely drink. I don't like how it makes me feel and it interacts badly with a medication I take.

I choose to drink very occasionally to try something or for a special occasion, but even more occasionally to excess.

Those who judge me for getting a lemonade in the pub are generally not people I find myself enjoying spending time with. My body, my life, my choice.

I'm a hangover virgin and have never been plastered before.

I enjoy drinking socially but know my limits and never go past them. Perhaps I like being in control of my actions / emotions and alcohol tends to strip people of that capacity.

My pragmatic, rational brain also considers this an expensive activity particularly when out. Why spend money to feel like crap afterwards? People are free to do as they please and more power to them, but it doesn't appeal to me.

I’ve always asked myself this question from an early age. As we all know whiskey and Guinness have many many medicinal purposes and are know to cure many many health problems

As a child I would receive whiskey to cure the common cold. To alleviate tooth ache and to put me to sleep when mummy and daddy wanted to discuss future family developments

Guinness was provided by the Irish blood bank to increase your iron level after giving blood and is also recommended to pregnant ladies to help with the superior development of their children.

And I still can’t put my finger on when or why I began drinking. I’m sure one day I’ll figure it out

Under the Duvet

In my late teens/20s I drank far too much , mainly as a confidence booster initially as I was ridiculously shy.

In my 30s the penny dropped I didn't have to get leathered to have a good time or to be interesting (to be honest in my heavy drinking years I was probably a pain as much as I was entertaining)

I do still enjoy a drink, but it's an occasional thing rather than a daily thing now.

I'm also as happy with fizzy water as I am with a glass of wine.

It's good to see there are more decent alcohol free drinks available in bars now too

I rarely drink much. I'm usually driving anyway. Even when I'm not, if I have more than a couple of drinks my mood tends to shift - sometimes I'll have a great time, more often I become even more morose and withdrawn than usual.

I very rarely drink alcohol. I have never liked the taste or had any desire to acquire a liking for it.

I have been tipsy on a couple of occasions in the past and didn't like it. I find being able to walk in a straight line has a lot to be said for it. I have never had a hangover. I really don't get why being d*unk is appealing to so many.

People should never judge you for not wanting alcohol, they should totally respect your choices. When I tell my friends I will drive on a night out, they try to persuade me to get a taxi and drink but I don't always want to and I get a bit miffed when they try to pressure me into a boozy night.

I've never really drank heavily. Even when I was younger I would have one drink to everyone's three or four. Pl I've never liked pints of beer, larger, bitter etc.

The other thing I don't understand is why it doesn't matter what hobbies you have or what sporting events or gigs you go to people have to drink to enjoy it. Why can they not just enjoy the actual event etc without the drink?

Don't mind the very occasional Martini though.

Stopped a little over 3 and a half years ago now. Used to really enjoy a drink. Often to excess. But, on top of the cost, becoming obese, developing (although I didn't know at that time) type 2 diabetes and a heart rhythm issue that was likely linked, it really started messing with my head.

If you can drink in moderation I envy you.

Because I enjoy it. I rarely drink excessively and never to excess when my daughter is home.

Its odd that isnt it, when you say you don't drink and people either don't believe or try to get you to have a drink, a few times I've had people try to push me to have a drink and I'm like "I'm a alcoholic who has been sober since 2004, why are you trying to make me fall of the wagon, kindly fuck off"

But some people just generally don't know how to react, like when I first met my partner, he wouldn't have a drink coz I don't drink, I was like I'm far enough in to recovery (your always recovering never recovered) not to want or need any, I can sit surrounded by it and I don't want any

I drink because I enjoy the flavours and smells of different beers.

I enjoy the process of brewing and developing recipes, and then seeing/tasting the results.

I only tend to drink half’s, I can try different drinks whilst keeping the volume of intake down.

I tend to go for the dark/black beers as they have the most flavour to them.

I drink because I enjoy the taste and the effect. I rarely drink to excess, especially as the older I get the worse the hangovers are.

I also use alcohol as medicine when I’m poorly e.g. a hot toddy. I know it’s not making me any better, it just makes me feel slightly better.

I drink alcoholic drinks, be it beer, wine or spirits, because I savour the flavour

I don't drink to excess, and that's never appealed to me, though I'm not denying I have had a hangover on occasion.

There's little to compare with them, in the form of soft drinks.

At least some of the NABLABs are being brewed with more flavour and character nowadays

How remiss of me to not note that I’m a bit of a champagne connoisseur though when I’m in the right company!

I only drink socially so never enough to worry too much about. Rarely drink at home unless people are here, and if I do drink indoors I’ll only have one.

"It seems the number of units people are drinking is declining. May be consuming less or stopping will become a badge of honour in the same way not smoking or not eating meat have become??

I hope your stats don't come from those surveys that medical professionals do

Does anyone answer honestly?

Someone told me you only have a problem if you drink more units than your doctor

I would hope people are honest. My stats are from what I read and observe and I do believe people are drinking less. "

. Are you believing the fab forum again?? It's full of saints if you believe half of it!!!

Because I enjoy the taste, I only drink socially, a couple of pints per week.

Rea is the same, maybe two glasses of wine or cider.

I enjoy my wine, I enjoy the taste but I am very particular about the wine that I drink, and no I don't need company to enjoy my tipple of choice, personally, I don't understand people that will only drink in social occasions or with others. But hey we all have our choices or preferences, I just say leave it at that and don't cast dispersions.
