I'm curious how many other people don't drink alcohol just because they have really no desire to, not because they have to for health or other reasons.

Not since my 20s have I drank much. It's a bunch of empty calories, I'm not a good drunk, and I don't like the way I feel the next day.

It bothers me that I feel I should have to drink because not drinking makes other people uncomfortable, like they don't know how to interact with someone who doesn't have at least a beer in their hand.

I just don't get the whole push for "social" alcohol consumption. I guess I could just say "I have a mental disorder that alcohol interacts with extremely negatively. Still want me to have that drink?" LOL
