hey just wondering why you don’t like people drinking when it’s their own decision. Them drinking has nothing to do with you.

I must say, you are pretty high on that horse. You’ve never drank (maybe one here or there), yet you think people who drink are awful. You’ve never been there, so you have NO clue what it’s like. I know someone close to me who has been there and it’s not fun. But you can’t say anything, knowing you haven’t been in their shoes. Ignorant a-hole.

I agree, drinking is just stupid and anything I ever gave a sip of was disgusting. I even one time said I’ll buy a glass of wine to go with a meal, sipped it went ‘ugh’ and pushed it away.
I hate the fact people think they are so funny when drunk.
A friend once tried to tell me of her drunken fun with a friend of hers.
I was rolling my eyes while on the phone thinking ‘that’s not fun, shut up’
Getting drunk is utterly stupid and don’t understand in the slightest why people would want to not remember what they are doing and act like a twat.
Great article, wish I knew more people who didn’t drink.
People at work go ‘we’ll get you drunk, we’ll take you out’. I go ‘you bloody will not’

Thank you so much for posting this article! It’s nice to know that I’m not the only person in the world who detests drinking! I’m a girl and I hate drinking! :)

I appreciate that you wrote about this. A lot of people drink, and it is hard to find people who don’t (Marvo).

I used to drink before I was 21(!) I am now 39. I don’t know how I drank then. I never liked the taste of beer – it tasted like rotten pee.

When I drank, I began to feel like I was poisoned. Perhaps it is my body, but if this is how people feel, I simply don’t understand why anyone would want to pour vile tasting poison down their throat over and over again. It boggles me.

Thank You for being marvelous! Have an excellent day!

For the people that moaning about Tynan’s post, you do know there is nothing stopping you from refusing to read this site and that you was not forced to read any of this?.

Unless you actually like the content and just looking for attention for your own ego, like you are claiming he is.

I empathize with the author of this post, being in the same boat and for the exact reasons. Tried alcohol 4 times in my life (sips), have never finished a drink. I think it’s just an easy escape from the difficulties in your life, or your own social anxieties. Why don’t you just suck it up and do it without an alcoholic shoulder to lean on like the rest of us? And what the fuck is with the comments that come in here and try to psychoanalyze the guy who wrote it? It’s like “Oh, he doesn’t drink and I do, yeah pft, I’m going to challenge that motherfucker because we have differing views, he must be self righteous and judgmental, etc”.

The reality is that NOT drinking is the most alienating fucking thing on earth. Everybody does it, and you don’t. I would LOVE some friends who had a functional grasp of their own psychology and stuck with their own maskless selves. And honestly, do you even have to do it? Why the fuck should you? Do you have shoot heroin or rob banks? This is how you reach out to other people who feel the same way. What benefit is gained from trolling somebody, who probably feels alienated as fuck, attempting to hear some positive reassurance that somebody else feels the same way as them?

The comments are like “Oh yes, wonderful, Tynan I agree with you but I’m gonna go do shots out of my mom’s asshole”, and “I understand some psychological terms or I read a magazine or I took it in school once, and you’re a big phony. I am going to critique your feelings because it makes me feel good about my own inhibitions”, or “Here are a bunch of bigotry-laden stereotypes about your post”. Fuck off.

Personally I think that every single person on the planet has a “superiority complex” of some sort, but also an “inferiority complex” as well I mean some of us are aware of our strangths and weaknesses and try to assert the strengths, and hide the weaknesses…. I also think that some people are dissilusioned about what they think their strengths and weaknesses are… but hey this for me is all just speculation….
