All of these are good and valid. Especially that last one on the bottom.

“No, i just dont want to.” You dont need a reason not to drink.

My 21st birthday, my sis took me out for dinner. “You’re 21 now; uh can legally drink!!” Yeah, but the smell of alcohol makes me vomit and has my whole life. “I will buy you ANYTHING you want to drink!” Anything? “Yup, anything.”

Sweet. Dr Pepper please. “No! You don’t have to get a soda, you can have alcohol now!” But I want DP and you said you would buy me anything I wanted to drink.

After much pressure (from her AND the waitress) I ordered some peach schnapps frozen thing bc it was the sweetest and least alcohol smelling thing on the menu. If I order this damn thing, do I have to drink it all? “No, but you’ll want to.” So I don’t have to. And can I still get the DP that I want? Like… brought out the same time, no more arguing?” “Sure but you won’t want it.” Umm… have you met me?

Took the mandatory sip, expressed the displeasure I knew I’d feel going in, and then made a big production of drinking the DP. That I wanted to begin with bc I knew I’d like it.

Tl dr: sister and waitress forced me to order a drink I didn’t want and were in general assholes. Don’t be that asshole. My body my choice isn’t just about sex.

This happened to me on my 18th bday, my mom said i could now legally drink and gave me a shot of tequila, i’ve always said that the smell of alcohol makes me want to vomit but anyway, i didn’t want to be rude so i took a sip and i swear that was one of the most horrible things i’ve ever had, like it was disgusting af, so the only thing my mom said was “Oh, you’re probably too young and can’t appreciate the flavor” and i was like no i literally just don’t like it and actually i didn’t even want to drink it.

So yeah, y'all, don’t be assholes to people who don’t want to drink, don’t force them.

My preferred drink is cheap dark rum and coke. I like it because it tastes like cough syrup. 

The faces people make when I tell them this are HILARIOUS. Listen, you drink your alcoholic grape vinegar or your fancy mixed drink that smells like methylated spirits and cotton candy. When I have my semi-annual social drink, it’s going to taste like SWEET COUGH SYRUP BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT I LIKE.
