What is your reason for not drinking alcohol?

"Sausages"

When it stopped being fun and became a hassle/repeated chore...

I still drink light beer but I have that asian flush (pretty severe one too), so I limit my consumption of alcohol.
I'd say one beer is just enough to enjoy it and not feel too bad.

I think the asian flush is kinda cute though.

I don't drink alcohol because sometimes if you have to much you can lose control about you and you're mind.
And I don't like the day after.

I have epilepsy so getting drunk would trigger a seizure
Therefore I never developed a taste
So when I do try to taste it it's gross af to me
I also don't like the smell of alcohol

Coming from "the drinking state", I can say alcohol is just overrated and I never got the hype. I got drunk once, just to see what it was all about. Getting emotional and crying, being unbalanced and dizzy, and waking up puking.... Uhh, where's the fun in that? There wasn't a SINGLE pro, all cons.

Never again. I'll have a drink on occasion, but really, drinking isn't all that great and I still don't get why people are obsessed with alcohol.

Some people drinking just to taste the feeling of being adult.

I tend to not drink because my face gets red, my blood pressure goes higher, my hangover is bad and I usually don't have enough money for that..Alcohol is expensive in Finland
