As a non-drinker I can't understand things like
Students who you know are only there to spend their student loan on booze. I had a friend who would go out at the weekend purely
" to see where I wake up. " and was always moaning about being skint.
And I overheard a group of guys talking about going out and getting drunk and one of them went :
( in typical dopey teen voice ) " Uhhh its's like...I never intend to do out and get drunk but it's like...my brain won't let me stay sober...it's really weird y'know ? "
Now, I'm not here to poke fun at anyone with a genuine problem but as a non-drinker it's always fascinated me and perplexed me how
People only start drinking / smoking so they can fit in with their leery, rowdy mates who would take the piss if they didn't drink.
i'll never understand how people just force themselves to overcome their initial hatred for alcohol just so they can be part of a clique.
" Oh, you have to get used to the taste of alcohol first. "
Mmmm. If I don't like the taste of something - I don't normally force myself to 'get used to it' just to be one of the guys.
I once knew a guy who was completely anti-smoking and eventually just started because
" Oh, I hated when my friends would go outside for a smoke and I couldn't join them because I don't smoke. "
I forgot it was impossible to talk and not smoke.
