| Yes. Nothing wrong with a glass of red with a nice dinner. Nothing wrong with the occasional cigar or smoke, as long as you are not HR Puff'n'Stuff with it. Drugs? nah, bugger that, they are crap. Don't touch drugs, but not all alcoholic beverages are there for the purpose of drunkenness. Wine is nice in and of itself, for all the different flavours and matching it up with the food you are eating. A nice port or sherry at the end of the day is nice. A nice cold beer on a hot day is nice. A nice high quality single-malt whisky or vodka is nice, so is a martini, or other cocktails. |

| you need to at least to drink alcohol since you need it on social gatherings at your future job/s |
| Well, I don't think alcohol should be put in the same category as tobacco and hard drugs and other things of the sort since there are no real negative health effects provided you use it moderately and responsibly. It's a good social lubricant if you're shy. |

It's a good social lubricant if you're shy. I can't control myself. I know if I even taste alcohol once, I'll go all out and I'll probably become a drunkard who sleeps on the streets lmao But seriously, I don't trust myself. I'll probably become a addict Anime addiction is enough for me lol |

| Ehh I mean I can drink alcohol if I'm offered it but I don't really go out of my way to buy it on my own and I never go to drunken parties Never touched cigarettes or drugs and I doubt I ever will. I don't have a deathwish 23 years old atm |

| I got bored of alcohol quickly and never understood the appeal of cigarettes. I admittedly loved doing weed but that was back in my college years with friends. Not worth doing it anymore when you already have a career. |
 |
| never tried cigrattes or drugs, can't stand the smell of tobacco also women who smoke get wrinkles early and look like gross so its double reason as for drugs too unhealthy. i dislike most of alcoholic drinks but some expesive wine, brandy or rum is nice to have from time to time, not much of a drinker tho can drink same bottle for few months or half year. |
| Don't do neither of those things either, 19 here. Tried alcohol before though, but I honestly can't see how people seem to enjoy it, it burns like shit and the drinks I tried tasted like shit too :') I'd rather kill myself slowly by ingesting things that I'd actually want to drink, like sodas and candy... Having that said, I'd definitively drink alcohol some if I actually enjoyed it, so I can definitively see why people would too. None of us are gonna live forever anyway. I see my own health as a resource - not planning on wasting it all at once, but it also won't do any good to stop myself from enjoying things in order to try and preserve it. Applying this mindset to the two other things though, I don't really think that most people who do drugs or smoke actually enjoy it tbh... They start due to social pressure and then get addicted and can't stop... It's a sad position to be in. |
Throw me to the wolves, tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack!  |
| Never tried any drugs or smoked anything. If you count as drinking a glass of wine or a glass of champagne on a special ocassion, I suppose that I've drinked, but I never got drunk and never will. |
 |
| I used to think I would never have any of that and I actually didn't for most of my life. Only started drinking a few years ago and only had cannabis edibles like a year ago. |
| You're definitely not. I have a naturally obsessive mindset, but I'm only ever obsessed with one thing at any one time. I've never touched alcohol, drugs or cigarettes. |
| My friend trying cigarettes, getting drunk quite a few times and attempting to get her hands on drugs has completed deterred me away from all three. I'm never touching that stuff. But, I'm only 14, so maybe I'll have to drink a bit of alcohol in the future... |
 |
| About 250 babies are born every minute. So obviously not. At any rate, things you do to your own body can only be so bad when you're going to die anyways. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I'd wager you've had caffeine which surprise surprise is a drug and there are studies that consider caffeine worse for you than alcohol and tobacco not to mention is moderation alcohol is good for you in a variety ways. Get off self-perceived moral high horse. |

| Usually I only drink varying amounts of alcohol perhaps once every 3 months, i.e. a pretty negliable amount overall. No interest at all in any other kind of drugs. Well, I might drink ice-coffee in certain live phases, but that's about as far as it gets. I cannot even drink hot coffee or hot tea in the morning because it only makes me sleepy. |

| There's plenty of people who don't like these things. I know there's nothing wrong with drugs and cig from times to times but I just can't. I have a sharp sense of smell and there's few things more disgusting than the perfume of cold cig on hands/clothing or burnt pot. Also, all my friends smoke cigarettes and some of them already got health problems (~20yo). A lot of people I know who smoke pot got addicted and have since become bumbling idiots. I never tried and never will because I feel no need for it. Alcohol is fine tough. It's arguably worse than the others I mentionned but it doesn't make you or the room you're in smell bad for hours. Still, I don't like the taste too much. I'd rather be a badass and stick to tea and the occasional cup of coffee lul |

| I have never touched cigarette and drugs, in my life I used only a little alcohol but very little, and I can say I don't like it, practically I'm straight-edge XD Anyway I don't feel to need of this things, and I'm not interested to try. I'm astonished so many people here have never used this things. |

Get off self-perceived moral high horse. Actually, there's also been several, recent studies that indicate that caffeine can be very beneficial to your health in small quantities, including the prevention of diabetes, some types of cancer, heart disease and other things... First off you clearly didn't read or didn't comprehend what you read. There are studies that say caffeine is worse than alcohol and tobacco that is a fact regardless if there are studies that suggest caffeine is good for somethings. The thread was clearly taking a position of some sort of moral superiority by the tone of the opener, there are plenty of studies that are for alcohol being good for you and caffeine is used in several pain medications. Tobacco has historically been used for various medical practices, cocaine is still used in certain surgeries for it's vasoconstriction properties. None of that changes the fact that cocaine is pretty bad for you and Oxycontin is basically super heroine and yet it's used medically as well, having a positive effects doesn't mean something isn't poison. Caffeine was conveniently left off the list of the opener and caffeine has some nasty side effects that pretty much everybody seems to ignore and they tend to consume in larger quantities with the perception that it's not a drug and it's magically safe since it's in soda and you can give it to your kid. |
|
| I've never tried any "drugs," unless you count sugar, which I hope you don't, because then I'd be addicted as hell. Never had an interest in drugs and I don't think I will in the future. |
  |
| Nah. 25 here and don't drink/smoke/drug simply because I decided I won't, back in middle school. Tho I'm kind of tea addict. I met quite a lot of people who don't drink IRL and even more in internet, so I guess it's not that rare, especially if you consider some cultures and religions don't do it by default. |

Being used medically to create a particular effect and having health benefits when ingested in moderation are fundamentally different things though... Both caffeine and alcohol belong to the second group. At this point, they are not poison, and unless you have some sort of sickness originating elsewhere, they shouldn't negatively impact your organism either. It's the excess of either of them that brings in the side effects. In fact, in excess, anything can become poison. Your initial comment made it look like you were disregarding this entirely, in favor of proving your point on OP's intentions with this thread.. With which I agree to some extent, but in another I feel like it's natural for someone to feel pride in having been able to avoid going down certain roads... Whether that pride is justified or not is up for debate, but I still believe it's perfectly natural. There's also more than just health implications regarding alcohol and drugs... Even if caffeine is objectively worse for one's health when consumed in excess in comparison to alcohol, it's much more common for the latter to destroy one's life than the first... To be honest, I feel like sugar would have been a better example of a substance for you to express your point. We consume it in ridiculous amounts, and obesity is a huge problem in most 1st world countries with direct social consequences for the affected (excluding the health problems that directly branch from it). |

| im pretty sure there is no correlation between liking anime and drug&alcohol use. It just so happens that the people you've spoken to are into or have done those things. I think generally, drug and alcohol use often happen in group settings, so i guess people who are into the social scene will also be less active on a place like MAL. |
| Be proud of it, you're definitely better off without any of those things, you'll most likely have a longer life span than people like me! The statement above me is correct tbh I was in a group that did so it did have a substantial influence on me. |
