why am i so opposed to alcohol?
My girlfriend and I have always been opposed to alcohol shes 17 and im 18. She told me a while back that she drank a little hard alcohol with her friends. Didn’t get that bad but got a buzz. I kinda flipped on her like are you serious what were you thinking? She said i could understand if I drank as much as my friend but I only got a small buzz, etc.. I still was like whatever and told her I didn’t want her to do it anymore.. So lately we have been talking bout it and finally I just said screw it and said I didn’t care if she did it as long as she knew the risks and was careful. I haven’t had any alcohol abusers except my brother who drinks a lot but he doesn’t beat women or anything. Idk I think maybe its just the fact that I don’t wanna think I need a drink to make me enjoy like more… opinions?
even if I did want someone who felt how I did, I could never dump her. We have been going for almost 3 years and I’m completely crazy for her.
You are smart to stay away from it. My husband and I started drinking when we were about your age and I was able to stop. He wasn’t and is now a full blown alcoholic. You never know how it will affect you and the smart choice is to stay away from it. Especially if the disease runs in your family (your brother). You have every right to make this choice for yourself….the flip side is, so does your girlfriend. You need to decide if you are really okay with her decision or if your better off finding someone who feels like you do.

You are smart to avoid what many do not, but should. Alcoholism is a serious problem that far too many people have, but few of them are willing to admit. Young people drinking for a buzz is just the beginning of , and has been for many, a life long habit of drug addiction.
Stay opposed to it, in the long run you will be healthier and happier.

I admire you for making those decisions and I’m sure a lot of other people do too.
But don’t look down on other people just because they make decisions that are different to yours.
If I choose to have a drink and get rotten drunk, then that’s my decision. And I respect yours, so you should respect mine and other peoples. You’re not a better person because you make healthier and safer decisions in life… A lot of people drink and get drunk and don’t bash their women. That’s only men with issues that do that.

You’re a moron for thinking that just because you’re not for something means you have to be vehemently against it. Chill out, buddy, it’s ok to not want to drink. It’s not ok to yell at people for doing what they want. Maybe you should take a harder look at how you really feel about alcohol. The only people I know who hate alcohol that much really could care less about alcohol but something else is really bugging them. Just a thought.

Alcohol itself IS NOT the problem. Drinking is NOT the problem. But the people that feel the addiction from it are the problem. ANYTHING can be a problem if you over do it. There is nothing wrong with drinking, but there is something wrong with someone that can’t stop. Stop being such a prude.

open ur mind. alcohol is not the problem. how ppl handle it is. u have to learn to control it thats all. i come from a long line of alcohol abusers but that doesnt keep me from drinking. i know how to control myself. i dont need a drink to have a good time but it feels good to just let go.

some people just like to drink, my husband loves drinking but never actually gets drunk. he doesn do it to get happy just how he says…have a drink, and me i hate alcohol, i bartend occasionally so i know alot about, but i personally hate it, and i use to hate ppl that drank. Some people enjoy themselves when they drink and others like us are just happy not drinking. As long as your gf is being honest about what she is doing i wouldnt worry too much. Just make sure she is careful because depending on your state, you can either loose your license or face some heavy fines drinking underage, or performing certain actions while intoxicated. best of luck to u
