What is your reason for not drinking alcohol?

If I drink,I drink too much ...when too much drunk there might happen something bad. Before there happened bad things with me many times..so I have controlled my drinking alcohol things ......Now I prefer one cup of red wine in dinner sometimes ....sometime I drink beer to clean my stomach

1) Embarrassing myself on several occasions in front of important people, including colleagues at the Christmas party last year.
2) It's dangerous to not be aware of what's going on around me.
2) Projectile vomiting.
3) The hangovers are getting worse with age: headaches, nausea, depression, feel like sh*t about myself and get depressed, arguments with everyone around me and potentially crying.
4) Alcoholism runs in the family.
5) It damages the body and face very badly and ages you like nobody's business.

Despite this, I still drink on nights out.

My reason is because I'm always cutting weight

my half sister is hooked on drugs and drinking, so her situation goes beyond just being drunk. she wants everyone else to pay for her problems (and pay for all her freakin' bills). i have a twisted craving to want to fight with her, lol, maybe because she thinks she can win and she's arrogant about it. when she used to bring her problems around, i was in happy mode ready to tell her off and make her feel insecure because she thinks bullying people will get them to cower. and because i know all her weaknesses, i'm like "cower for what, you're the broke a** with no money and no place to stay. now take your fat a** elsewhere and try to get some druggie to sleep with you." she hates being called fat but she'll call other people, including strangers, all kinds of names. yes, i know, i'm going to h3ll.

No reason i just chose not to

I am just not a fan of alcohol. I've never been and I won't be.

I try not to drink much alcohol because it's expensive and I smoke when I drink!

Sorry to hear about your sister, that really sucks. What I meant of was more like it makes me argumentative and prone to flying off the handle at stupid, tiny insignificant things the following day.

yes, sorry, i didn't mean anything by it. i was just blabbing about my sister taking drinking and turning it into a whole other kind of fight, escalating and stuff. sometimes posts remind me of other things even if the situation is completely different.
