More like "yea I'll travel the world, I just don't go to plant my ass on a beach for 2 weeks like almost everybody else does."Killer French Bread wrote:What!? That's a bit like saying,"yeah I'll travel the world me, I just don't go anywhere near a car, a plane or my front door."

I have several reasons - not only the effects of the consumption. Another one is that I dislike the taste of pretty much every alcoholic beverage (despite my Russian roots, ironically - hooray nationality stereotypes), neither do I like the smell; and several traumatising things in the past have happened to me, where alcohol played a big, if not the primary role.Anyway, why are some of you guys tee-total? I don't understand why people make that deliberate social statement when there is such a big drinking culture. Even if you don't like the effects, isn't it possible to just have one or two so you go with the flow, then stick to the panda pops after that?

This. Also, I know how to have fun without getting pissed (Something many folks these days seem unable to do) and I'm already overweight and not very active; why should I add another thing vice that will shorten my life? (That one's also a reason why I don't smoke)Sherlock wrote: I have several reasons - not only the effects of the consumption.

I don't have a complex of phobia of alcohol, I've honestly just never had the urge to try it. Maybe one day I'll impulse grab something from Tesco but I figure if I don't have that urge there's no point in trying.
