It just starts to make me feel really immature and like im missing something,maybe i am. i do have friends and so on but i try 2 miss party's that are only for getting completly plastered.Is anyone else the same as me?

Going out, having some drinks and getting drunk is in most cases a really fun thing to do, especially when you're with mates. However, it can also be a very dangerous thing to do, even if you're with mates, especially if you don't drink regularly and if you go drinking in clubs. If you're a girl make sure you can find a guy who you can really trust, I mean really trust and he won't take advantage of you and can handle his drink, that way you should be safe for the evening as he can watch to see if your drink is spiked and can make sure you get home etc.

The safest bet is to do it at home, this way you can be monitored and have a bed/food and a toilet available when you need one. It may sound sad, but you could have your parents there for the first couple of times, maybe upstairs while you and your friends stay downstairs and chill. That way help is always at hand.

The main thing, is to make sure you have a good time. Make sure you eat before and whilst (If possible) you drink to help soak it up.

Id never like to do it.

same boat as lals, a lot of my friends drink, and it is getting hard to hang out with them on the weekends, sometimes I will be the DD but that is about it. i am getting kind of nervous about it, i am going to Michigan St. which is one of the top party schools in America, i wonder if i will have trouble fitting in

I do myself, actually. I dont know many around here that dont get pissed often.
Its never been my thing, i dont like alcohol though.

If youre under age, going out to drink alcohol to 'fit in' makes you retarded. If they make you feel left out for not drinking, you seriously need some new friends.

you'll never knows how it feels until you try it. It's better though to drink with people who will know its your first time drinking and therefore will be able to make sure you don't drink too much or, if you do drink too much, will take care of you.

a better idea would be to smoke weed. i stopped drinking because i had a tendency to overdrink but you can't really smoke too much unless your on your way to work and your too fucked up and laugh at something random in front of your boss.

but thats another issue

Drinking's great fun, and a nice way to relax (but I have to say you have to be sensible about it). My friends are exactly the same as yours, and I don't really feel like getting pissed off my head every week. So just find some other friends to hang out with. You might ending going out for a drink one week, but it doesn't mean you have to drink a ton of alcohol. You can try some and if you don't like it no big deal. Get a soft drink instead or something.

There are plenty of people of who don't like drinking alcohol. You're not the only one. And it doesn't make you immature whatsoever. Some people like it some people don't. You just need to find the right people to hang out with. Just, don't feel pressured into doing anything just to fit in. In the long run, there really is no point.

No your not different at all! Just a bit more responsible than most of us haha. I used to never drink and thought it was a horrible idea and was completely against it, and no one cared if I did or not because they accepted my opinions towards it. I never thought I'd drink and now I do maybe once or twice every week. And at parties I don't care if people aren't drinking, I'm just there to have fun and if people can have fun without drinking (not saying I can't, that would be horrible) then that's awesome. If you are considering it, make sure you do it with really close friends who want to see you safe and wont let you get into any trouble. Also, do it indoors so you have less risks of wandering off alone. And know your limit. I've made the mistake before of having a bunch of different drinks in a short period of time; in one night i had three shots of 151 (75.5%) and a bunch of other hard liquor all in 10 minutes. I was done, and started breaking stuff and eventually started throwing up a lottt (Moral of the story: if you have a shot of something wait a bit and see how you feel before having more), and even at that bad time I had a bunch of good friends taking care of me and they even brought me home and tucked me in.

No one should care if you don't drink or not. The only things you might be missing out on are, meeting some great new people by attending parties (actually you don't even need to drink to do that, but it can make it a lot easier haha) and some wild stories to tell. And if you are thinking of drinking, be safe.

No, I like drinking. As long as it doesn't get out of hand.
Sometimes it's hard to drink due to all the pills I take.

There is nothing wrong with not drinking, and not doing it shouldn't make you feel immature. For me, I just see no reason to drink. I don't really care if people like me or not, I couldn't care less if people think I'm uncool because I didn't drink.

Not drinking isn't immature, it's actually extremely mature. To be able to avoid peer pressure and not get sucked in is a great thing, and enjoy it. However, if you really feel like you're missing out just try a few drinks and just see what its like, and make sure you have friends around in case you get wasted.

At the end of the day. If YOU want to get drunk, get drunk.

Life is learning.

Getting drunk is fine, just don't get shit-faced to the point of vomitting and unconciousness, then its just not fun.

I doubt people would even know, so i think people would fit in, i sure wuld.
