    I am 23 and I last drank when I was 21. When I met new people I get the same reaction when they discover I don't drink,

    1) They stare wide-eyed at me, with an expression on their face as if I just told them I have just been let out of prison for murder.
    2) They say ''SERIOUSLY?'' about 5 times
    3) They ask me why repeatedly.


    When I answer people and tell them I don't like drinking, they feel the need to probe and probe and keep asking me ''why, no seriously why?, you're messin', seriously though why?''

    I find this irritating and rude. Why does it bother people so much that we don't drink?:(


    ROTFL.... This happens to me all the time. I used to drink but stopped over two years ago. I just hated the way it made me feel both while drinking and after the event. Now I get teh same as above and my family are convinced that I will have a drink if im not driving or if I'm on a break away:mad:!! Some people just don't get it. I have found that if I drink a non alcoholic beer I simply don't get asked any questions. I love the taste of beer as opposed to soft drinks too so It all works out well.
