| Is it a close relationship or a distant relationship? Or maybe even a toxic one? Personally, alcohol was always for social drinking, and I always saw drinking all by your lonesome as a little sad. But I cut all ties with it ages ago. Drinking had no positive impact on my life or my health, and pretty much no one cares that I don't drink anymore anyway. But what about you? What's your relationship with alcohol? |
| I occasionally drink small quantities, but not enough to get drunken anymore, because I had a few painful hangovers in the past. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| I make my hands drink a lot of them. It's been a habit since covid oh wait |
 |
| I took an alcohol brewing class in undergraduate. |
"Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.” |
| I'm mainly a social drinker when I meet up with family, as their all big into drinking. If their not out somewhere drinking then their trying to win free drinks with betting apps. It's...very awkward being the non-drinker, so I'll join in. I'll only have a few things at a time though, as I used to get quite dizzy-feeling after barely having anything (and I'm not drunk during these, just dizzy-feeling) and I hate that sensation. I did also used to have bits of alcohol when I was a kid for a time too, to I guess to be more adult? my parents didn't mind and would give me some, but that stopped for a time. I don't really think I like the taste of alcohol all that much, but I have started buying non-alcoholic beer & white wine as I genuinely prefer the taste to alcoholic stuff and I like fizzy drinks, but don't want soda, especially in the evenings I only have a few of them a week and it's not daily. I don't think I'd ever go out to pubs to drink (or out clubbing) as I never did that anyway and don't want to now, and I don't want to be addicted, as I see in town so many addicts bent over double pissed day after day it's the same ones, and I think that must be a terrible way to live. Also my brother-in-law is an alcoholic, he's twice lost his licence and my sister worries about him all the time. Fortunately he's not abusive to her, but he drinks so much that he's numb to it all and it's really affecting his health. He's very overweight and he acts like he has some brain damage because of drinking :( |

| Extremely distant, I don't drink alcohol at all, but I don't mind as much in food stuff and sweets, but I'm just not a fan of it. Kinda like an unpleasant uncle that you can tolerate a few times a year but are otherwise glad to not have him play any bigger role in your life. Not that I have to deal with any of those things or people, though |
| I very rarely drink alcohol, it's bad for you. I have managed to get away with drinking a relatively large amount before , getting happy drunk without hangover, but usually just get a headache and nausea even after small amounts. |
| It was historically pretty easy to peer pressure me into drinking lol. I'm better about saying no nowadays tho (not restricted to this topic alone) |
 |
| To me, it's not an existing relationship; basically, it's everything that relates to alcoholic beverages. I despise even fictional characters that consume alcohol. |
| Alcohol as beverage is like mortal enemy to me, it's a poison. |

| I used to be an alcoholic. For 14 years I would drink Steel Reserve every three days, then it became every other day and then for a year it was a fifth of vodka everyday. You will never understand a true panic attack unless you’ve experienced coming off of alcohol as a long term addict. |
| I never drink, I m 20 , don't have reasons to run from reality. I do understand those that choose this path tho. |
| My liver's alcohol virginity is still in-tact. |
 |
| Never drank alcohol. Water is king. Ate Food cooked with it, sure. |

| @Jhinsoul A good IPA or lager is where it's at. If you ever try alcohol make sure it's something decent. Go to a local brewery and get one of their craft beers. |
| I don't drink. I don't mean I never drink alcohol, but it's really not an habit or something I seek out. I don't really like beer, wine and I absolutely hate whiskey, probably the three main beverages alcoholics consume here, so there very little reason to drink for me most of the time. I can appreciate a good sour beer, cider, or rum sometimes, and I do get drunk af every year during the harvest in Champagne every year, but that's about it tbh. For personal reasons, I don't think I'll ever become an alcoholic. |

| I don't really like the taste of it, so I don't really drink. Maybe once in a great while wine, but thats very rare. I just drink soda instead lol. |
 |
| My relationship with alcohol is... respectful. |
| Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |
| I will never drink alcohol in my life. Even if during my high-school years i've often been at parties full of alcohol tho, never had the temptation to drink, being drunk can ruin your life so fast, i've seen break-up because of the drunk state. |

| @Zakatsuki_ Is that because you're Muslim? (I kinda have a vague memory that you are of Algerian origin, but maybe I'm wrong). |
fleurbleue said: @Zakatsuki_ Is that because you're Muslim? (I kinda have a vague memory that you are of Algerian origin, but maybe I'm wrong). yeah but I think even without being Muslim I wouldn't drink, because when someone is drunk he can legit ruin his life, like sending a text to a girl, doing something with a girl at the party who makes him cheat on his girlfriend. If he drives, he's cooked asf. I mean maybe when someone is drunk he tells what he TRULY thinks but I don't know, voluntarily not having the control over himself is crazy to me. And they smell bad, they're funny sometimes tho I gotta say. |

| Never had it nor do I plan to try it. I am very strict against drugs and alcohol. |
 |
| I actually don’t drink. Never had alcohol, but friends are regular drinkers. I just think it’s bad for me. |
  |
| I don't drink because it's too expensive. And even if I had money and had no choice but to be addicted to something, I'd much rather do drugs. |
 |
| I am a social drinker. I don't generally drink unless I am with people. Not to say I won't enjoy a glass of Whiskey or Cognac every once in a while, but I prefer to drink with people. |
Protect the smile!  |
| I only drink it socially and since I have IBS, I have to keep it light or I'll shit my brains out. Otherwise I regularly consume weed. That's my vice. |
 |
| I've never drank alcohol due to a lot of trauma regarding an incident where someone slipped a date-rape drug into my soda when I was 13. While nothing actually ended up happening to me, it was kind of a harrowing experience and I would rather do anything I can to avoid getting drugged again, especially now after coming out as trans and with the legitimate danger that comes alongside it. I also know I have an addictive personality so avoiding it is just generally for the best anyways |

| @XMGA030 No one said that, though?🤔 |
| Deffo close relationship, but not toxic, I avoid alcohol as much as I can since I have a lot of responsibilities at my uni, but when I have some free days I generally drink some funny juice, I don't drink that much in social context I drink more alone since I enjoy it more, is just a way for me to celebrate or to relieve the stress of my studies |

| I stopped years ago. Alcohol just a cope I prefer to deal with reality @MissHeed same with smoking it's a cope. Notice my reflexes came back lol. |
| I don't drink, so I guess you could say it is non-existent. XD |
 |
| I get drunk sometimes and my worst self comes out and it just becomes a really sad display and then I stop drinking for 6-12 months and then it happens again. |

| My relationship with alcohol? Imagine a shoujo manga with alcohol as the waifu and me as the love interest. Alcohol is truly beautiful, and I feel like I can do anything when I'm with it. Not to say that I don't recognize the inherent dangers in it, of course, which is why I actually don't drink that often. But I can't lie; alcohol is one of the few lights in this dark, dark life of mine. |
 What's the difference? |
| I don't drink. Bad for your health, bad for your wallet. Also most of it tastes bad. |
| I drink during the like 2-3 parties I go to every year and really only get drunk on Halloween. I've tried a lot of alcohol because of friends and 99% of it tastes like shit. So outside of a nice frozen Pina Colada, I'm never gonna go out of my way for something alcoholic. |
| I don't drink, so none. I used to drink when I was kid during family gatherings. When I was 8 I once drank so much draft beer that I started embarrassing my mom at the restaurant - it's the closest I've been to drunk since then. |
| Non-existent. I'm living the teetotal life 😎 |

| It's a dead relationship. Like a toxic ex I'm finally free of. I'll never put that vile shit in my mouth ever again. |
| I dont drink alcohol. Its bad for the body and mind. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
i've Sampled Alcoholic Beverages but a Handful of times throughout my life. Soda Pop is, in fact, My Personal Booze... |

| @fleurbleue You better get those things out of your system at an early age, cause once you start going to school, you gotta focus on the important stuff... Well, that was my parents policy, at least. You obviously shouldn't drink as a kid so you can become an alcoholic later on in your life. Reminds me that the first and last time I tried smoking cigarettes was when I was about 6 probably. For some reason I couldn't exhale the smoke and it was an awful experience... so awful that I never tried it again. Although to be fair, we do have a lot of smokers and alcoholics, so maybe this approach doesn't really work. |

| Pretty distant. I've only had some drinks a handful of times in my life. And all of those have happened in the last few years. I find alcohol to be pretty boring ngl, I prefer weed as it gives me that nice calm feeling |
