I chose yes, to socialize. I drink a little when we have friends over, or go out to eat. I have wine on occasion. I dont or never have drank to the point that I was actually drunk, or to the point of v'ing.

Even though I'm not old enough to go out and purchase alcohol, I do drink wine alot. My grandparents encourage it personally. As long as I don't indulge enough to be under an influence. It's good for the heart. Typically I can only drink a few swallows before the Emet. sirens start wailing their forbiddance. But it's really good with spaghetti!

I put that I have never touched it. I have actually tried it a few times, but never drank...know what I mean?? I didn't want to put "not anymore" because then that would sound like I used to drink....I'm weird...I know...LOL!! [img]smileys/smilies_05.gif[/img]Charlotte

I love having a bit of a tipple! I drink once, occasionally twice, a week. Usually red wine, brandy or whisky, and dry cider and wine when out. I love that merry feeling you get and the fact that you feel more relaxed. I, of course, try and gauge it so that I feel lovely and fuzzy but don't have too much so that I will be ill. I absolutely hate that feeling of the room spinning round when you go to bed - usually means I'm going to be ill! I only slip up once every few years on that one though.


The amount I drink does depend on where I am though - if I am at home (as opposed to being on holiday or staying at somebody's house for the night) I would have that bit more, as if Iwere to beill I can just about cope with it in the privacy of my own home (so long as nobody sees or hears!). My biggest fear is v*ing away from home, and I swear I would literally rather die than v* in public.

About once a week for me! I actually work in a pub, so getting a free drink or two after a night's work is great! I am happy to say I've never been drunk...I don't plan to either, I don't want to do anything embarrassing, and the idea of a hangover isn't very appealing either!

I chose "sometimes"--I really wish "rarely" would have been a choice because that is more like it for me. I drink maybe half of a wine cooler one to two times per month. I just started doing that last year. Up until then, I had never had more than one sip of alcohol. But, my husband starting making pina coladas and Kahlua mud slides and they are so good! I never drink more than one of those at a time. The only effect that it has on me is that I get a little sleepy. I have always had an intense fear of alcohol due to the *v*.

I used to go out and party every weekend....till I hit about 30, and realized what a 3 day hangover was....It's not worth having a migraine for 3 days. I cant remembered the last time I drank ...must have been my best friends wedding a couple years ago.

I chose never. I'm underage.

I feel EXACTLY the same way. I would rather die than vomit in public too.

I chose yes- to socialize. I just graduated from high school and it seems as though drinking is a big part of everyone's lives. throughout high school I drank 1 or 2 times a month, sometimes getting a bit drunk but only VERY drunkonce... bad memory. Now that it's summer, I drink probably once a week, and go bar hopping. I really hate drinkinga bit too much and then coming home and wanting to be sober. I think the drinking scene is really dumb if you rely on it to have fun, but sometimes it results in good times!

[ducky-go-lucky]

I never have touched it.



My parents are alcoholics, so I probably wouldn't drink even if I didn't have this phobia.

I chose yes- socially, but Im 23 and I didnt drink much before this year. I"ve never gotten drunk and don't plan too- I dont drink for the buzz ( which is a nice bonus), I usually will drink because I like the taste. Pina coladas, sex on the beach, and strawberry coolers are my fav.


I never have more than one drink a night, because that's all it takes usually. At 5 foot even and 108 lbs, I'm not big enough to drink much more.


I have also had marijuana on occasion and I have to say I love it. Im not a smoker but that stuff is REALLY relaxing, I only do that once in a blue moon though.

[princessmel]

I drink wine once in awhile. Sometimes I drink enough where I get buzzed, and I like the feeling b/c it relaxes me. Actually, a drink tonight sounds pretty good.)

[suzy.o]

I drink regular, not to get drunk because I darnt but to calm down I can put quite a lot away as Ihave a good tolorance level, It does worry me sometimes but id rather have a can in my hand than a full blown panic.
