nondrinkers

[alex29]

do any other nondrinkers sometimes get the urge to drink just so they can spill all their problems out?

I would never want to turn to alcohol to fix my problems but sometimes i feel like getting pissed and making a fool out of myself would make me more outgoing and at least get me one night of fun

or maybe im an emotional drunk and i can spill all my bottled up emotions to someone, and not have to feel ashamed about it

I've turned to drinking way too many times- as a way to cope. And let me tell you, it can be downright embarrassing! It's okay to be drunk at a bar- when you are with someone who will look out for you. Often because you might not see those people again. And yeah, it does feel good to have a night of fun.

But, I have went to work, school, and even an interview when drunk. Crazy, huh? Crazy and embarrassing. And I am sure people will catch on- they see you totally quiet and distant most days and then once in awhile you will be looking around, making full out eye contact, talking louder, being 'braver', etc. Then, you are you again. I definitely wish I haven't drank so much- at such important events. I've found that I come across looking more like an airy fool then if I just been my quiet, shy self.

i dont drink, and i dont wanna start just so i can express myself better.
i've never been comfortable around alcohol. Not my thing.

I like the odd drink but i don't get wasted. In the rare occasion when i am at a wedding party o'r something i get myself drunk enough to feel comfortable. All young people i know of are into getting wasted on drink/drugs and it makes me feel like the minority because i am not like them.
