    Haha, that's me too. Don't really understand anyone that drinks anymore. Trouble is, if you are around people that drink and you don't drink yourself, you feel like a bigger oddball than you already are. It's a strange feeling. One reason why I mostly just stay at home. Alcohol is nowhere.


    I mean, I still drink... but only socially. For instance, when I'm with my brothers and we're hanging out. Or at a party. But I'm pretty careful about how much I drink, and usually make sure I have something to eat. Getting smashed to the point of not making any sense is something I haven't done in years and frankly... if I ever did, it's not something I'd run to my buddies boasting about it.

    Sensible. I did try to have a drink at a gathering a few months ago. It was my first taste of alcohol in something like 8 months. I had a sip and thought to myself how disgusting it tasted. A couple of sips later and I realised that I was just not into it and stopped immediately. It just made me feel flustered. it's a sign that I have got old or else just become a teenager again.

    I can quite happily get pissed at home on my own, people think it's sad but I enjoy it, I only do it every now and again, I enjoy a drink with a mate or two every now and again (once ever couple of months) the thought of sitting in a pub with a group of people makes me break out in a cold sweat.

    1- I don't like people
    2- I dislike groups of people even more than I dislike people
    3- to deal with situations like that I drink
    4- when I drink in a crowd I don't have any control, I'll be absolutely wankered before the night is done and the fact that I've always been able to hold my beer works against me

    You sound a bit like how I used to be. I used to drink a fair bit on my own too. I still don't like people very much and I still really hate groups of people too, but I just don't drink anymore. It's odd not drinking sometimes but I prefer it now.

    However, in the name of any forum meetup I will drink a couple of drinks as I am on holiday and if you cannot indulge then then when can you? Yep, back in England. Good to be back actually.

    I think mark tko wants another drink with you.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Not liking groups of people would be especially tough and in a Confucius based society.

    Tough deal there, I feel for ya.

    I don't drink as often anymore either. Some weks more than others. If a friend comes over or what not. Xbox, PlayStation and some drinks. These days it's about drinking quality over quantity. I really like some of these Whiskey/ honey blends.

    As for signs you're getting old: when you feel creepy looking at your younger female colleagues as being an old perv.
