Anyone Else Here Just Start To Hate Drinking??

[romanstylesiii]

I was never a huge drinker, but certainly enjoyed my early 20's. Used to go out and get beers 2-3 times a week with friends, but would not over do it.

Now, I just have come to hate it. After one beer, I feel like crap, even just a few hours after I drink. The next day I also feel bad. Waking up at 6am on a Saturday to go for a hike seems more fun to me than going to a bar or pub the night prior.

Not hate it, as I do enjoy going to my local spot on Tuesdays and free jukebox with friends, and trying to guess my themes for my selections. Last week was movie soundtracks. 😊

And I've never been a big drinker either. I can have like one drink an hour or less. But I don't know, I like to have maybe one or two, three tops, and then just do water or something else non alcoholic for a bit.

But yeah, I don't get excited about drinking. Especially when I go into the city, where drinks can be anywhere from $6 to $9 for singles, and doubles can be $12 and up. So that's a lot of money, and I also know way too many people who have gotten D.U.I.s.

I wouldn't miss it if I stopped completely. But for now, I'm out like maybe once a month, on Tuesdays for gyros and jukebox, and I don't stay out late since I work early in the morning. But overall, yeah, drinking isn't a big deal to me.

And F.Y.I.: I'll be 37 in March.

Maybe slightly different, but I've never liked the taste of alcohol actually. Drinks have always had a bitter overtone to my mouth and tongue. Every beer I've ever drank has tasted pretty much the same: Like a very bitter soda (except for something called Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, which basically tasked like a cherry cola.) Those are the drinks I've liked, very sweet ones, like 'fruity drinks' or anything involving Kahlua.

Every Sunday morning, mate.

I really enjoyed drinking up until a few years ago. I guess my body was just like, "Ya know, I think we've had enough beers at this point." I still drink socially but it takes me a couple weeks to get through a 12 pack at home(a few years ago, it had a lifespan of 3 days, tops). The last time I got really drunk was just about 2 years ago to the day, and that was mainly due to the stress/joy of watching the Eagles win the Super Bowl.

Time makes fools of us all, I suppose.

I'm honestly just kind of indifferent to alcohol. I prefer (legal) marijuana, but when I don't have any of that, "any port in a f***ing storm" as the late great Sid Haig said.

I kinda went through this. I smoked and drank a lot until I was around 23. One day I woke up, threw cigarettes and alcohol away and haven't touched either since. It's weird, I just lost the desire to smoke or drink. The smell of beer or cigarettes turns my stomach if/when I smell it now.

Used to hate it in my early 20's then became a big time beer drinker in my mid 20's.

After a while though, beer was starting to give me a belly, and started to taste gross, so I switched over to wine in my early 30's.

Wine is just better tasting, and is much more chill for me at 33.

At this point though it's all about balance and moderation, but beer is pretty much off the menu.

when I was younger, I loved just getting hammered and being dumb. Now, mainly due to the fact it takes me at least another day to recover, I just like having a beer or two with buddies while watching a game or just hanging out. If I drink more than that, it's a special ocassion and I have nothing to do the next day so I can recover.

Even though I’m 2 years and 2 months sober (today, yay, what a coinky-dink) I think the only time I hated it was when I started trying it as a teenager. Taste-wise. hangovers suck, yeah, but I miss the taste of an occasional corona or tequila-inspired drink. Except Steel Reserve. Even though I drank it quite a bit, I always hated Steel Reserve. f*** Steel Reserve.

Hate? No

I don’t mind partaking in a tipple now and again. However only on work nights out or family events so I could could on one hand the amount of times I’ve been drinking the past couple of years and on the occasions I do drink I normally stop at 5 or 6 and I’m normally fine the next day

Been absolute ages since I had a hangover. Not worth them at all in my opinion

[Cyno]

I don't hate it, though the last time I really drank it didn't like me too much. Got acid reflux from hell the next morning. Though the last time I got an outright hangover was when I was 22, and I'm about a month away from 35 now.

[edgestar]

Never cared much for alcohol, anyway.

[Perd]

I can take it ot leave it. It’s fun to go out with friends every now and then. But that’s as far as my drinking goes. I know people who drink almost every day and it just seems miserable.

I am a big beer drinker.

I genuinely enjoy the taste. Its not about getting drunk for me.

I am 27 now. I didn't go out much when I was younger, now I've been catching up so to speak.

I'm sure I will feel like this in my 30s though.

Only thing I drink that's alcoholic is Irish Cream stuff. I just don't like 99% of alcohols, I'd rather just have a soda in that case.

feels like I find alcohol more boring each year, don't think I've hardly drank in about 3-4 years

[Terry McConkey]

Used to be huge into craft beer in my 20s. I've reviewed 2600+ beers in 13 years.

Nowadays, my body can't handle it and that's why I only have a few on weekends. It doesn't make sense during the week when I am focused on eating right and working out.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Totally indifferent. I'll drink a bottle of cider with dinner every now and then, but I've not been drunk in a decade and have no motivation to change that.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

Sometimes I’ll have the odd glass of sparkling wine one night, but it’s inconsistent. I only drink beers when I’m out at a party or it’s a special event, holidays or if friends are over and we’re cutting loose, but most of the time I stick with juices, teas, water or lemonade with my meals.
