-
I don't drink for lots of reasons ... the main one being that I grew up around alcoholics. If you have lived with an alcoholic and see the problems and sadness it creates .. you want to stay as far away from alcohol as possible.
-
Health problems. Taking certain medications. I know some people that go crazy just from the smell of it. +5

1. They don't like the taste of it ... 2. It goes against their moral or religious beliefs ... 3. They don't like abdicating their willpower and decision making to a mind altering substance ... 4. There is a history of alcohol abuse and addiction in their family and they'd rather not start down the same path ... 5. They see the sloppy drunks on Friday night and don't want to be associated with them ... 6. They are underaged and respect the law enough to obey it ... those are 6 reasons why i never drank until i was older than 21 and even now, i will only have an occasional beer

-
In my own case, I take anti-depressant medicines that can interact with alcohol--to dangerous effect.
-
I just don't like the taste. Besides, some ppl can have fun without getting drunk :)
-
I like to know I'm in control of all of my faculties at all times, and I absolutely abhor the "buzz" feeling. My grandfather took me aside once and told me, "Son, I haven't had a sip of alcohol in 30 years, but I still get the urge to get in my car, go down to the liquor store, buy me a 5th, and polish it off. Don't ever start drinking."
-
I'm a very happy drunk. I have a great time when I'm drunk, and so does everyone else. The only problem is, I have a tendency to do really really stupid things when I'm drunk that result in injury. For example, last time I drank, I decided to give someone much bigger then me a piggy back ride. I ended up pulling a muscle in my groin and giving myself a hernia. So, I just avoid it all together.
-
I prefer to smoke pot. Less people die a year from direct use of pot (0 vs approx. 140,000). I hate getting hangovers. I feel more in control of my thoughts and actions while high as opposed to drunk. I hate having to drive home from the bar or finding a designated drive. +3
-
Personal choice, avoiding calories, moral/religious qualms, or just a matter of taste covers most of them, I think.
-
They value their health and clear mind?
-
Its a good question and i think it has been answered here pretty much entirely, i will only say that most of the people that account for not drinking usually do this just as a matter of choice, and they don't feel the need to waste money on it.
-
some people can't b/c they're on medication.
-
Hate the taste, don't like being around inebriated people, don't need it to enjoy myself.
-
They have had too many DWIs.
-
possibly from religion
-
I know people say this as a joke or a lie to cover up drinking to teachers or whatever, but I'm serious.... I just don't like the taste.... I seriously hate it... it's just too sour/bitter.... I can't even stand sangrias! I've even actually brewed beer that lots of people liked, but I could barely stand a sip! Plus, I'd probably finally reach the point of needing hospitalization if my mom caught me...
-
I stopped when my first child was born. I was often responsible for watching the baby when my wife was away or asleep. I never wanted to find myself in a situation where the baby needed something but I wasn't able to care for her because I had been drinking. Now that my children teenagers, I'll have a beer or two on holidays or something. Guess I just lost my taste for it. (This coming from a guy who would drink a MINIMUM of 2 quarts of either Old English 800 or Colt45 daily.)
-
Maybe one of the reasons is because of taste.
-
Because RC Cola, Pepsi and Coke taste a lot better +5

It tastes awful -- that's why.

Some may do it because they don't want to. Most refuse so they can feel superior to the rest of us.
-
I don't drink alcohol because I can't stand the smell of it.
-
People who drink alcohol are dumb...and could get killed or sick.
-
They are stupid enough sober. :)
-
They value there lives and dont need alcohol as an excuse to have fun!!!
-
Some because their religion forbids it,and others out of choice because they do not like it.
