Quick question. What do you guys think of people who don't drink alcoholic beverages for nonreligious purposes but will consume maybe a wine cooler or two a year? Women, does it make you uncomfortable if your date doesnt drink alcohol?

Hmmm. I hardly drink. Does that make me creepy?

No. Lol

Not drinking alcohol, I understand. I’m highly suspicious of people who don’t drink coffee.

It doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, in fact it is my preference. I am not a drinker of alcohol, so a non drinker is always my choice. 😀

I usually only have 1 drink. Sometimes 2. I have a friend who I hung out with quite a bit and didn't even notice that he didn't drink. Someone else told me at some point. It makes no difference unless they object to what I do. I do think that is quite reasonable to object to a date getting plastered and also drinking and driving.

As long as they are cool with me drinking. Although I would never drink with someone who wasn't drinking on an early date. Because safety and shit.

I drink maybe once every few months, and only socially. It’s not that I am against it. It just isn’t my bag. I spent a lot of time in my 20s, while in the Navy, drinking and I guess I spent too many nights either picking my friends off the floor, or them, me. Plus, I have an intolerance to certain liquors. I get real red and short of breathe. I love a good Guiness or other dark beer though. I don’t have any aversion to being around people drinking either. Also on the plus side, I’m always willing to be the DD.

I don't care if anyone is drinking or not , or how many or how often . Everyone has its dragons . I do care if anyone close to me drinks and drives . I have a problem w this , and I can't stand by it or for it .
If it's a friend , I will be a pest remind him / her often as daily that I disagree and y . It gives me grey hair and not fair to anyone else on the road ?
And there is no way I will date anyone who drinks and gets behind a wheel . I just can't do it , it will bother me ?

Lol

Most I generally drink is a glass of wine with dinner occassionally. I'm generally to much of a tightwad and it is difficult finding a designated driver, so I never give alcohol much thought. I can't imagine many women would care.

I don't drink at all anymore. For me, I just didn't like the effect and it felt like going out to the bar was just a stand in for more meaningful free time activities. I want to be more intentional with how I spend the only life I've got.

Not really a problem. I don't discriminate but how likely is it we actually run into each other randomly even in the same town.
If we are friends or acquaintances I wouldn't care at all.

Also for me it would be weird for other reasons

To each their own. It's none of my business why anyone would, or would not, decide to drink alcohol.

Not my bladder..Not my buisness.

I dont drink at all. I just dont care for it.

Your right to not drink is as valid as my right to do so. You could be an alcoholic, have a kidney issue, baggage with drunk abuse in the past or just not like the taste. All are valid and no ones business unless you care to share. Anyone who gives you a hard time past the offer of hospitality is being an ass.

I don't drink usually for the same reason I don't eat lobster usually. Sometimes I have a wine. Perhaps once a week with a meal. And once each two months when I am waiting for a visa in a foreigncountry I go to the same Chinese resturant for lunch I have a beer. What do I think of peope who usually don't drink but occasionally do.

I think they focus on enjoying themselves!

I like to have drinks occasionally and I really don't care if the person I'm hanging out with does or doesn't drink. That being said, people who don't know their limits or can't hold their liquor make me very uncomfortable! Most likely this is due to the fact that I was married to an alcoholic for 18 years!

Ex was a major alcoholic. So bad that I stopped drinking to get the alcohol out of the house. Took me a while to get back into drinking again, especially while dating.

I don't think it's a big deal, but sometimes people need to learn to relax and have a drink!
