I don't drink alcohol. I never did. I just don't see the point. Why drink alcohol when you could just drink juice or milk? That's the way I think. I seem to be the only person in the world who thinks this way. I don't have anything against people who drink alcohol. I just don't want to drink any.
For some reason though, I feel pressured by society to drink alcohol. Often I hear people say that a person who doesn't drink alcohol is a boring person. I must be the most boring person on the planet then.
You see it in the media, people go to fancy restaurants with their dates, they drink wine, there's always alcohol involved. I've never been on a date, but I wonder, what would I drink in that fancy restaurant? I feel like I'm gonna get some weird looks if I don't order wine.
Sometimes I look at profiles of girls who live nearby on dating sites and 90% of the girls have one thing in common: They all like to go to the pub during the summer and drink beer outside. For me, that's a really boring activity. If I drank beer, I would just DRINK IT AT HOME AND NOT GET RIPPED OFF but I guess girls want the attention. Anyway, that's off-topic.
So if everyone likes to drink alcohol, then what am I supposed to do? I fear having to tell a girl that I don't drink. I get the impression that it's like telling her that I have no penis. And drinking to fit in, that's really not my style.
Feel free to share what you think.
