YES!
Hating the taste (actually smell, because I've never tasted it), viewing it as a crutch, and always wanting to be in control...perfect.
"I don’t need or want the things it offers. I’m already secure, inhibition-free, happy, unstressed, and have enough great friends to prevent me from being lonely or bored. What could I possibly gain?"
This is more or less verbatim what I tell people when they ask me why I don't drink.
I don't know if its just where I am from or what, but almost everybody I know drinks and cannot seem to "have fun" without it.
Have you ever had people try to justify to you why they do drink? Actually, I see it all over the comments...I am always fascinated by their logic.
My thought it always, "If you honestly feel it improves the quality of your life and you don't hurt anyone :shrug: but honestly, can't you think of something better"?
