Drinking and smoking

[rageaholic]

I have never smoked. I cannot stand cigarettes and the like.

I also do not drink. I'm under age, and I don't think I would be much of a drinker anyway.

[_jade_em_]

I've also taken a sip of beer. It's like pee

You've tasted pee?

Yes, I have. 'Tis my daily beverage!

No, joke Though I do have some idea of what things would taste like, even if I haven't tasted them.

[Kugetsu]

I have strong opinions on both, so I'll keep it on a down low.

Smoking - Never have and never will. I have really bad allergies and mild asthma. It smells and makes me sick when I breathe it in. Can't stand being around smokers either as the smell (even without the smoke present) makes me ill. Yay! I'm cool because I smell like like *enter random horrible smelling substance here*!

Drinking - Never have and probably won't, whether it is social or not. Don't like the taste or smell of it either. :\ Wine I can sort of stand, so if I ever do drink, wine will be the only think I'd drink, and in small amounts (if I even like it). I'll never understand the people that only drink to get wasted. It is just... dumb. My father was also a mild alcoholic as well which I suppose is partially accountable for my dislike of it.

meh. Smoke I can't stand the smell of, I will never ever ever. Some alcoholic drinks I think taste alright, but I'm not really that type of person. *shrugs* I don't do either.

(by the way, did you know that it's really hard to type with gloves on?)

[Silja]

I don't smoke, for the simple reasons that I don't want to burn up my money and get lung cancer for it.

I don't drink either, which I have personal reasons for (and drunk and tipsy people act like total morons anyway).

I don't smoke cigarettes, never have done, never will.

I rarely drink, I'm not too bothered about it. Guess spending Saturday's looking after my drunk friends put me off that for a while.

[shimmer]

I have never smoked and I probably never will. It's one of the most disgusting things ever.

I have drank before though. SHHHHHHHHHHH!!! But it's not like I was wasted out of my mind or anything.

[Twinkle]

I don't smoke, never have and never will. Vile habit.

I have drank and still will. Have been drunk but not completely off my head. In moderation only is my motto.

[White_Wolf]

I drink, but it's not very often that I actually get drunk. Usually it's just a glass of red wine with a side of dark chocolate to help keep a healthy heart.

[Shollia]

Used to be completely addicted to smoking.
Think I started when I was... hmm.. 15? I smoked about half a pack a day and it went up to almost a pack a day.
But I quit smoking a year and some months ago and I'm feeling great.
Do I get urges to smoke? Sure, but it's not something I ever plan on doing again.
And it does make you stink. I didn't realize it of course when I was smoking, but BOY! I notice it now when a smoker goes by.

And I've had a few drinks in the past and probably will in the future.
I don't drink regularly or anything. The last time I had a drink was when I went to Las Vegas (few months ago). I had 2 drinks the entire time I was there. They were pretty tasty too heh
They were those fruity slushie things.
One came in a nice orange glass from the Flamingo Hotel/Casino. The orange stuff on the glass came off though when I stuck it in the washer That drink was REALLY good. You couldn't taste the alcohol in it at all.
And the other drink came in this really tall (bout 2feet tall) blue plastic cup from a mexican restraunt in the NY NY hotel/casino.

I can't stand the actual taste or smell of liquor though. As soon as I smell it it makes me ill.
And now that I'm a bit older and know better, I don't like getting drunk. Little buzzed is ok, but that's it.

[Istanbullfrog]

Smoking is kittens, I tried it to see and was just baffled why my friends went so bonkers for it. It doesn't do anything, smells icky and makes my lungs hurts.

Drinking, on the other hand, is a thing I do socially, but never in excess. I enjoy the slight buzz, and the taste of beer and I'm starting to become more brushed up on wine (excellent dinner accessory, I must say.)

Alot of your opinions will change with age, especially drinking. I hated alcohol when I was younger because the only people who drank were the kids who would pass out in their own vomit only to wake up hours later. When its no longer 'rebellious' it's easier to find people who just want to enjoy a good wine or something, or have a beer and watch a game.

(I'm also over legal age, like others)

[Urthdigger]

I've never smoked, and aside from small things of wine for communion, I've never drunk alchohol. I basically take pride in my body, mainly because it's the only one I've got. While I'll get cuts and scrapes, there's no way I'm going to start something that will not only cause some serious damage to my insides, but will likely get me addicted and make me continue to hurt myself. Besides, I've seen what drugs can do to a man. I have a little brother who smokes and drinks. It's truly pitiful.

i'm quite above legal age, and my opinion of drinking hasn't changed much at all. as a matter of fact, the peer pressure is sometimes higher when you are over 21. people always asking you out to drink, or not wanting to go places that don't serve alcohol, or refusing to spend an evening without "just a glass of wine" or "only a few beers." when you no longer have the reason of "it's illegal" to hold you up, people love to think that you're being holier-than-thou just because you abstain. it's irritating and painful.

[Kugetsu]

Eh, I'm quite unmoving on my views, so I doubt that my view of smoking and/or alcohol will ever change. While I may not hate it as much, I will never drink beer (its vile anyway o_o) or consume any alcoholic beverages just because its alcoholic. Now possibly a wine every once in a while for dinner or something, but I would never drink it just for a buzz. While I'm not of legal drinking age (that's not to say that I'm not close), I know that my opinions have reason behind them and I'm not hating cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs (meh, they're all the same to me) just to hate something. As for the social drinking, I'll be the guy at the bar buying the non-alcoholic beverage, not caring what the my peers think of it.

[shapu]

I don't smoke ... don't want to.

Drinking? Well, I'm under the drinking age, but last summer I finished a glass of wine for my aunt because her face was going completely red and I didn't think she could take any more. My face was fine But it tasted awful.

I've also taken a sip of beer. It's like pee

I enjoy the occasional cigar - maybe twice or thrice a year. Gotta be a good one, though - none of those three-dollar Walgreens things. Those will make you wish you'd die.

I enjoy beer, as well - I'm becoming a bit of a connoisseur. Wine, not so much - that's my girlfriend's thing. But if your beer tastes like pee, it's usually because it's bad beer. If it's called Milwaukee's anything, anything "Light/Lite," or goes by an abbrieviation (MGD for Miller Genuine Draft, PBR for Pabst Blue Ribbon) then it's not worth its weight in dust. I should note that up to a point, beer definitely increases in quality as it increases in price. And beer should definitely be checked for a brewing date - if it's a month old or older, just pour it out.

And I make a great Martini.
