I read this and I thought wow that’s almost like me!
I essentially don’t drink alcohol. …
I don’t hands-down refuse to ever touch it. …
I don’t completely abstain, but it’s highly infrequent, and low quantity. …
And you can read the rest of his reasons, which is a List.
Similarly,
- I ‘essentially’ don’t drink since I drink so little that it’s not worth the effort to buy a full drink or participate in drinking events. I do try one or a few mouthfuls, and then I’ll rather find something I like better.
- It makes me feel ‘meh’. Not happier. So, that’s no use.
- It’s a strong depressant for me. Again, no fun.
- It’s expensive. Well a million times more expensive than coffee or especially tea. And I like tea much much better.
- It’s essentially half decomposed food. You know, partially fermented sugars. Okay I know so is cheese and lots of stuff.
- Beer has too much gas and empty calories, Wine is overpriced and terribly bitter, Cocktails are sweet/ridiculous/overpriced.
And yeah I’m terribly picky about spending my money on things that I actually find worth it, so there’s even less of a chance of me spending money on alcohol.
And for those who say that they drink for work/socialising/something, you’re just being a spineless wuss who cannot stand up for what you believe in. It’s your life, it’s your one life, do what you want, and don’t do what you don’t want.
Did I mention about that tastebuds-blowing ice mint tea I had last week…
Partially decomposed food! nCan’t argue that. nAlso, mushrooms are fungus.
Baker’s Yeast is also fungus.
