Am I doomed?

[Fez]

This is more than your average reply of 'go 2 docs'

Let's just say, everytime I take a sip of alcohol... it doesn't work. Let's just say that I already know a few friends who have drank alcohol and had sex... on their 14th birthday. With all the attention to me now... since everyones had a sip of alcohol before their 15.. and drink it often... well...

I can't drink it.

Beer, wine, champagne... blergh. Beer tastes like dishwater to me, wine is just water with food colouring and herby and champagne berns my throat... so the question is, if I can't drink alcohol... am I socially doomed?

I'm under a lot of pressure from everybody... and I do mean everybody in my life. My family started at the ages of 12, my friends are already using the term '****faced' and well... if I can't lean back and enjoy things, then am I just not gonna be able to have a good time?

I understand alcohol isn't supposed to make you have fun, and it's generally why so many bad things happen to me (divorces, drink driving etc.). But honestly, just about everyone in the youth world is gonna end up drinking when their older...

[dirrty]

if u dnt like it, dnt drink it :S
if ppl r like pressuring u to drink then tell em no...

[Immenseman]

I used to be like that, I hated everything. Now I pretty much drink everything, don't worry you will change. You need to find something that you like.

alcohol does make people fun. like i'm quite shy but after a few drinks i'm a different person.
i think u're over reactin, go try other alcohol lol you don't have to get absolutely **** faced to have fun just a casual drink to relax you. it can't be that bad :S not encouraging you to drink but stop over reactin yeh otherwise just get other friends who don't enjoy that

[Cylinder]

Just because you don't want to drink doesn't make you "socially doomed"..

[Adam!]

Stick with coke then.

Lager has always tasted nice to me, until you have too many then it tastes like soap LOL - Maybe the glass just wasn't washed proper :S

[5,5]

But your american
Yeah cause we all know that makes a difference :S

[iAdam]

If you don't like it then don't drink it, if your friends are pressuring you into it then find new ones. I don't drink myself but that's simply because I don't want to. At the end of the day, it's your choice.

[Casual]

try everything that you can :)

your taste buds will change i never used to like vodka or beer or anything but i do now

[partie2]

wow, your life isnt doomed if you dont drink alochol. There is loads of drinks you havnt tried before and there will be something you like and drinking dosnt allways cause bad things to happen generally it helps people loosen up and have a good time. You dont have to drink and get drunk. Your friends should understand if you dont want to drink.

[LoveToStack]

nothing to worry about it. I found it the same when I started drinking but it's not a big deal if you don't like what everyone else does. just find something you do like and get mad way it.

[Bun]

try alcopops, they just taste like a fizzy drink?

[Calon]

Danny is good, he enjoys the occasional pint and haggis, he said it tastes nicer as you get older so don't worry.

I can't stand smirnoff vodka, unless it's that ice one.


your only 14 now, how can it taste that much different? lmao

14 isn't much of a difference? lawl.

Try something like Bacardi, I couldn't even tell it was alcohol when I first tasted it.

[leah]

The alcohol you like will change,
I used to drink loads of vodka and wine, now I find them both really strong, I used to hate beer now I love it :P

[efq]

Lol alot of you drink alcohol underage, makes you so vulnerable. Why don't you never drink and stick to coke like me :D?

[LoveToStack]

Cause i'd rather be pissed with white teeth than sober with yellow ones.

Why don't you learn to brush your teeth then? ;)

[iAdam]

Off-white teeth are actually healthier than white ones.

[J0SH]

But then you get a really bad liver if you turn alcoholic lol

[Excellent2]

Yes you are.

[Ramones]

nobody will ever love you

[OMGitsHYPE]

Well beer doesn't taste all appealing to me either it's okay. If you don't like it, don't drink it, just tell them you've tried it before and it's not what you really into. But if you want to try and "fit in" drink like Bacardi Breezers, WKD and Smirnoff Ices because they don't even taste like alcohol tastes like J2o's pretty much lol.

And your friends who allegedly had sex are probably just bragging about having it and not really getting it to impress you. Less then 5% of 30 people have had sex and 20% say they have to impress their friends at school. Not everyones had sex just because your friends say they have doesn't mean you need to rush into it.

Just say you're saving it up for later on :) Because you shouldn't feel pressured about it, if they're good friends. They should understand that you don't like alcohol and haven't had sex and should still be your friends, otherwise they're not real friends.

[Smits]

Try alcopops, if you dnt like them, just dnt drink at all. Dnt have to drink to have a good time lad.

[Wig44.]

I'm 15 in about three weeks, what's three weeks? :P
21 days tbh

Alcohol wasn't made to taste great, besides it is an aquired taste. Some claim that they love it from the start but really you need to let your palette adjust to the bitterness of the drink - since most people have a lot of sweet foods in youth and until you are an adult your palette leans more towards sweet not bitter.
