Any of you turned your back on alcohol?
« on: November 02, 2008, 11:57:07 AM »
To live in Sweden and not drink is basically a social sin, but it's become more and more common because of the spike in alchoholism in recent years.  I've never drank much but I decided a while back that even the amount that I did drink was too much(just 1-3x per year) and that I wasn't going to touch it anymore.  Anyone else come to the same conclusion?  Anyone run into any social problems because of it?

Yeah, I dont like drinking at all, always gets me into Alot of trouble, and going out without drinking and having drunk people around you gets on my nerve.
So the social bit suffers...

I love red wine.
Beer from time to time.

But I also didn't drink at all for years.

Va fan gor inte svenskar det samma sak?  Getting drunk didn't even get me girls towards the end, and that's all I ever did it for.

I partied a lot in high school, more to be socially accepted than anything, typical fat kid syndrome wanted to be liked. Led to a lot of drinking, beer mostly, rec drugs on weekends coke, ex, zanex, pain killers. I never considered myself a addict but I was more addicted to getting fucked up, rather than a particular drug. When I found myself at 19 and 240lbs I knew I had to do something. Quitting drinking and partying was actually pretty easy and then I started working out and the rest is history. 4 years later I'm a personal trainer, have competed in a bodybuilding, preparing for another one soon and living the healthy life. But now I'm addicteed to working out  ;D

I drink once in a while, my birthday and special occasions with friends but its very rare and I usually just have a couple drinks (no beers), however I still love to smoke weed just not daily anymore, couple times per week usually suffices (hell its the only way to eat enough food to bulk up  ;))

Haven't touched alcohol is 4 years now. It's not smart to juice, smoke, drink and use rec. drugs at the same time.

  Is that what you're doing with the exception of the alcohol?  Not judging, just wondering with the way you put it.

I'm trying to cut back on drinking on weekends, but its kinda tough. I'm in my early 20's and most of my friends like to go out to the bars on the weekend. If I don't go, I don't really have much else to do. And I hate going out and being around drunk people when I'm not drinking. I would rather just stay at my apartment and watch tv.

Being sober around drunk people is horrible! It's a good wake up call though!

  Word, this was what I was talking about.  I've had to kind of seperate myself from my friends over this.  We're mid to late 20s so it's not quite your situation, but it's similar.  I've found, for the most part, that I am not the one with the problem if I don't drink-it's those around me who want me to drink.

So true. The worst is when you have to take care of someone who is drunk and drive them around and stuff.

Yeah like the ones that "think" the bartender wants to hook up with them and you have to fight with them to leave!

I stopped drinking for dieting reasons. Now after 4 months I really can't imagine wanting a drink outside of a wedding or some sort of event like that. Just doesn't appeal to me.
