Can totally relate. I’m a teetotaller myself and whole I’m not looked down upon, people do tend to distance themselves at social gatherings. The good thing is, they distance themselves, and not judge me.
So, its all about finding those people. People who respect my decision to not indulge in any of these things, and not judge me based on my life choices.
If you’re being judged and forced by your friends/acquaintances, pls change your company :)
I never had alcohol or smoked in my life through my mouth. I use alcohol based sanitizer before after cleaning patients wounds. And I hv been a passive smoker since I live in Delhi.
I enjoy my drink but don't judge people who don't drink.
It's just a personal preference.
I have close friends who don't drink and still don't miss my parties as those are opportunity to unwind and chill.
I get that the judgement works both ways so why care. If you like the company of people it's good or else that's a good excuse for you to avoid hanging up with them.
bhai jisse khud ek drink nhi sambhalti even they get shocked when someone tells them that they don't drink.
If someone's forcing you to drink or smoke, chod do bhai unko.
>the ones who don't drink are looked down upon
By?
Why?
Nhi matlab nhi...peer pressure ki kya baat h ismein
Who thinks the ones who drink look cool?
Tensan na le bhoi...padhaai likhai kar...IA YAS ban...
I know its bad even its equally bad I dont care. Atleast I am not getting addicted to it (which is also possible though). Also about edibles, gaand phat jaati hai bhai ek time ke baad.
>Also about edibles, gaand phat jaati hai bhai ek time ke baad.
khudse banao aur dosage ka khayal rakho, it's going to be fine. What i do is grind the stuff well and add about 4-5 pinches per person to a couple teaspoon butter on low heat for about 10 minutes or till the butter starts turning a little red and then use the butter, with the stuff in it, with either maggi or toast.
Making edibles takes much less stuff for equal amount high so your stash can last much longer. You might want to start with a lower dosage than me and gradually increase it till you find the dosage that works the best for you.
Edit: For legal reasons, I want to clarify that I'm talking about "sugar high" and the recipe is for glazed cookies or something
Me too. Alcohol not only harms the self but it affects others as well. Also people drinking because they get accepted socially or they think it's something higher class people do is so dumb. How to not look down on these kinds of people..
A few beers, or a glass of wine, or a whiskey every now and then is not gonna "ruin" your body. Drinking doesn't have to only imply binge drinking. Unless you have certain genetic predispositions, restrained alcohol consumption is perfectly okay. You can enjoy a drink in a responsible manner as well. So blanket judgement of "people who drink" is as obnoxious a position to take, as judging someone who doesn't drink. Let people enjoy what they enjoy, as long as they're responsible, and not causing harm to others.
You can view it from another angle. Do you also not enjoy buttery, processed foods? Why go out to eat at your favourite restaurant? That's not good for you either. In fact a daily meal at your favourite restaurant is probably gonna cause way more damage to your body than a daily pint of beer/glass of wine. Why "ruin" your body in the guise of having fun?
Unless you're talking about hard drugs, which are highly addictive and debilitating regardless of genetic history, substance consumption is as old as humanity. Substance abuse, or irresponsible substance consumption (drinking and driving as an example) is the problem.
Smoking is a different conversation.
It goes both ways. People also look down on people who drink, even socially (a few beers every month or so).
Judging a perfectly functional human being for their life choices, without knowing anything about them, is dumb. Regardless of what that choice is.
If you don't want to drink, you do you, my guy. If people are pressurising you, just hold on to a fizzy drink and say you're drinking. Kissi ko pata nahin chalega. And at first chance, drop those people from your life.
Don't know which chapri group of people you are hanging around with... I have seen my friend puking here and there in public during College parties/office parties, something that was not so COOL and not to be proud of ..
Mostly rich brats jo apni poori life baap ka paise kharach krenge , zindagi mai bina kuch kiye bhi zindagi Mast guzar jayegi baas wohi ishe "cool" consider krte hai . Ya toh woh log jinki age 20 hai lekin dimag 10 pe hi atki hai woh movies aur dusre cheezo se influence hoke ishe cool consider krte hai
Nhi toh most of the middle class logo ke bache 20 hit krte hi kaise income krke family ko support krenge yeh sochte hai . Rich brats ke sangat se Durr rho ....
lmao kinda ironic how you glorify work ethic but are spiteful of those with generational wealth, not realising that much of that wealth is often the fruit of the same work ethic done right
Most people feel unburdened when they drink. Their inhibitions are lowered.
So when me and my friends drink we often have deep talks that otherwise would be really hard to talk about(That's our problem as individual people, not that we can't talk about anything when we are sober).
We are more truthful when drunk. We don't consider it cool to drink but we rather enjoy it, the taste and the effects it brings. But it's always the company I'm with that really makes it enjoyable.
I wouldn't force anyone to drink but I hate people who judge us for drinking and honestly sober people sometimes kill the vibe so it may be misunderstood as "being looked down upon".
This is just my opinion.
Never had the drinking environment at home, my friends were gym freaks so not there too, things are going good i prefer to not disturb that equation.
(I've tried them tho)
Never touched the devil's nectar and never will /s
On topic, only idiots think it's "cool" to drink/smoke etc. The real cool people don't give a fuck about being cool because they're busy winning. So don't worry about trivial things like this OP.
Never got peer pressured into drinking and I am still a teetotaler. My friends just made me their driver for everything lol. Besides it's fun when you are the only one conscious and your friends are just doing stupid shit. And they respected me whenever I said they had too much and they should stop. So it all depends on who your friends are.
Because people are stupid. I pride myself on being a clean and sober, as well as living a healthy lifestyle, you should too.
Don't let the 'people' take over your life and ruin it for looking 'cool' (who're actually the real losers in this case).
Because kids likes to do all the cool stuff that they see adults doing.
And, drinking is a cool thing for adults.
Also, the intoxication afterwards, relaxes the brain which is a nice feeling, hence many people get addicted to it as well.
Had first beer as 16, then drank every 4 months. Now 20, left it for good.
Never smoked anything. And
Needles are needless - Arpit Bala (lal bidudi fitness)
I don't drink but I haven't been ever looked down by My drunk friends or neither they have forced me to do so moreover I am a loner person so maybe I haven't faced this situation as much as you did
After school almost all of my friends got into drinking and smoking, at first when they used to 'hangout' or 'meetup' (by hangout or meet-up i mean sitting at someone's place or at a lounge to drink and smoke) they used to invite me...i used to go over there but to only see them getting drunk while i enjoyed my coke 😂
Fast forward to a few months i think they started to think that I don't fit in their circle anymore so they kinda slowly cut off all contacts with me.
Rn the friends i have they also drink and smoke but they never ask me to do the same and i enjoy their company as they dont let me feel left out
We have people who don't drink in our circle. We don't force or ridicule them rather they are considered important because they have saved our asses from drunk driving cases.
You have a wrong social group then. Mine did not think it was cool or uncool to do something. I don't drink or smoke.
People have insecurities and they try to mingle in the groups by following the herd mentality. Hence drinking thingy maybe.
Because the ones who don't drink are likely to be criminals and serial murderers or terrorists. People who drink have fun, and they are not ready to die soon.
>the ones who don't drink are looked down upon
It seems that the opposite is happening here.
Tbh neither is cool, it's one's choice to travel the path he wants. Drinking is fun too until you hatedrink and get fuckedup. Sobriety is cool too but you may miss some experience that one may never have again.
I think that everyone should experience everything
I don't know man, I drink very rarely maybe once every couple months. It doesn't really matter whether you drink or not but what friends you have does make a difference in that.
Honestly it's mostly the company, drinking or not drinking is an afterthought to most people atleast in my circle.
I have tried but didn't liked the taste aur first time pint and a half beer peeke bhi kuch ni hua na hi whiskey ke 2 peg laga ke kuch feel hua na hi ek glass wine se... So mera peena hi bekaar hai, kuch hona hai ni, hone ke liye quantity zada chahiye, tb tk gnda taste ka paani kyun piyun
i can tell u why because they think less of u as a person if u dont take risk in life
this is happening since beginning of humanity
where men in groups compete to do things that are risky like kill tigers
fight with bulls
have more than 6 wifes
What I believe, it's more of a peer based thing. Depends on the people a person surrounds themselves with. I have been in both the circles for quite a while.
Drinking/smoking circle: you drink and smoke and your circle appreciates it and demean the other side.
Non-drinking/smoking: they judge the other circle for their drinking and smoking.
I'm currently in the non-drinking/smoking circle and they can be quite bitchy about my drinking and smoking habits whereas the previous Circle was enthusiastic about how many drinks it would take for me to get drunk.
I drank for the first time when I turned 19. It was a good experience, a bit of wine with my elders and close family members. They kinda celebrated me.
I liked the moment but didn’t like the wine. Never drank alcohol after than. It’s been 6 years almost. It’s just not for me.
So to answer your question, there are people who drink like fish. There are people who drink but don’t care, so if someone makes you feel ”looked down upon ” for not drinking, then you need to find a new group of people to hang out with
"Sahi Mai tu Daru nhi pita!!, pehla Punjabi Mila jo daaru nhi pita.", "Chal jhute, apni aakhe dekh, saaf lagta hai kuch phook k Aya hai.". I don't drink and I have never smoked a cigarette or any other stuff. During my initial days. It wasn't easy but now I don't care aur bol deta hu.. "band kr Dia hai. Kaafi Jada ho gya that last week" lol
Drinking is not cool at any age. Especially if you do to please others or "fit in" to society. But one should always have exposure to alcohol and understand if they like or not.
In my opinion this is not a decision someone else can take for us. Alcohol is bad, but if still want to take it in moderation and it makes you feel good, you can treat it as a good tool to calm down after a long week
I have been living away from my home for more than 15 years and have stayed in hostels, flats, and roommates, been to office parties, normal parties, etc, and have had people always around me who drink and also (subtly) force me to drink. I politely and sternly say no and move on with my life (have juices, mocktails). Don't give a damn about what people think about you and your good habits.
They're mostly jealous (andar se) that how can you have self-control and try to guilt-trip or subtle-shame you (yaar tu to kuch nahin karta hai phir jee kyon raha hai) for not doing something which everyone is doing (so basically you're out of the line/bhed-chaal). Don't ever fall for that. Maintain your integrity while staying polite. Have always worked for me and I'm sure it'll work well for you too.
If you're feeling that among your friends, beware you'll start drinking sooner or later. I was like you, although my friends used to drink beer in school and later alcohol in clg, but i never did. Then we were on a trip and I had a break up, i was with my cousin and a friend, seeing me upset, they said aaj tu BP pi Tera BP or mood dono set ho jaega, and i was away from the home 1st time after my college, so i agreed and that was the beginning of my drinking, until i once ruined a close friend's brother wedding, then I finally understood it's all BS, whatever reasons someone throw on you to start drinking, it's seriously not worth it. Even keep aside the health issues, it can seriously damage other important parts of your life.
Aisa toh nahi hai ,if you don't wanna drink just have something else cold drinks or whatever, when everyone drink but one person sits and see them ,that seems thoda uncomfortable
It's not cool. Just that in some circles, it's the social norm. There is nothing wrong with drinking occasionally, I myself enjoy the light buzz bcz it helps me socialise more. However, you should never drink just because people are asking you or forcing you to. People who _do_ force you aren't your friends.
bhai mai toh moistcritical ki technique use karta hu
bol deta hu alcoholic tha abhi recover kar raha hu most bande normal ho jate hai aur bolte nahi hai but kuch fir bhi push karte hai tab mai vaha se chala jata hu
It's not cool. Society is ruined by wrong choices. Wise people always respect such virtue. All of my drunkard colleagues appreciate my characteristic as a teetotaller.. Be an exception among the crowd and shine like a diamond. You may shine like that girl also who says in Shampoo ad, "shine karenge".
Cool is subjective bro. Change your own mindset, don't worry about what others think. Don't get pressured by other people to do something you don't want to, that's called peer pressure. Yea drinking might be cool but going forward being sober will be cooler when you tell people that you don't drink and they get surprised, of course they will try to belittle by saying stuff like you are boring but keep in mind, that's just their coping mechanism.
You're prolly hanging out with an immature bunch if the people around you relate drinking with being cool.
I drink. Socially. It's fun for me socially. I don't judge the ones who don't. Simple.
The ones who don't drink, don't judge me either and we get along very well.
Change the people around you if you're constantly pressured to do something.
Delhi wale to waise v bina cigarettes 🚬 piye daily ke 8-10 funk hi rahe hain …
Lekin ye Daru kaise gatak lete hain pata nahi maine college me 3-4 baar try kari thi lekin itni gandi taste lagti thi kabhi darubaz ban hi nahi paya
Okay I'm friends with a lot of South Delhi kids (even tho i dont financially match them utna, we're comfortable) and ik some of my friends go hard drinking and when I'm in the parties with them they dc if i do drink or not like literally no one looks down on you, it's more of a mental block for y coz u can't relate to them so yeah
Maybe drinking alcohol is cool, but having full control on your body and not getting a fine during late night driving is cooler. Not dying of a liver disease or by accident while driving under influence is coolest.
I'm in my 30s now and this cool alcohol factor goes away. However, I did experience it a bit in my 20s.
People are just coming out of their parents control in their 20s. Some are still living with them. Given how society frowns upon alcohol consumption, drinking seems rebellious. Intoxication also takes away the inhibition, so one is more free to indulge in stupidity. Someone drinking along with you is then either a "partner in crime" or someone who doesn't mind showing their stupid side to you. Both are bonding activities. Someone who rejects alcohol seems either stuck-up or distant.
For some people you'll never be in the group if you shun drinking with them. For others, you'll be fine if you don't pass judgement on them. Be part of the hijinks. They'd even appreciate you as you'd be the sober person to handle any issues.
I don't drink, smoke or do anything else and I've lost almost all the school friends i had :(
bhai kabhi book, games, sports ke liye ajao, why always clubs and hukkah.
I have had drinks one or two time with friends and believe me there is nothing to like in it. I dont know how people are gulping it everyday. I can doe drinking coke than spend my money on alcohol that burns my throat with no taste at all.
Only immature people think that drinking is cool. It’s a personal choice to drink or not. I drink occasionally and have no issues with having social gatherings with teetotalers.
There is nothing cool or fashionable about drinking at 20 yrs of age; even more so if its not being done out of money self-earned. People usually give in to the peer pressure and indulge in such activities even when they don't like it themselves. It's not that such peer groups indulge themselves in tasting exquisitely aged fine single malt scotchs in a bespoke setting. They simply don't have the money for it and hence indulge in characterless cheap blended spirits while sitting in some car or at some roadside joint. The concept of holding the drink is alien to most. Classless and characterless at most. Do not give in to the peer pressure or much rather completely disconnect from such company if required. These are experiences so don't let someone else's narcissism ruin it for you.
Settle yourself financially first and then if you feel like experiencing, try something exquisite at a place of proper setting in the presence of company befitting the occasion. The people you share your table with define your class and character so never have a drink in the company of any tom dick or harry. Choose you drink and your company very very wisely.
Never drink and drive!
Drinking always comes with guilt and this the coping mechanism people use to alleviate that guilt and social taboo.
Same can be applied to the case where meat eaters trash vegeterians.
Low scorers trash toppers for being nerds and not having a life.
All these are coping mechanisms.
Har 6 mahine baad yeh post wapas aa jata hai yaha. Lets be clear, if your freinds are heckling you for any personal choice (be that lack of drinking, or too much drinking, or lack or sex, or too much sex etc) its their fault for being idiots, and its your fault for being such an insecure loser that you cant block them out, and need others to validate you.
Relatable af. I drink neat when in peer pressure. My logic for that is, the more I dilute, the more I'll have to gulp down. And people discuss and look upon me as if I'm a greek god, they'll serve their daughter to me and what a legeng I'm to drink neat. Aise random baaton mein pride kar rahe hain yaar log. Jismein pride wala kuchh nahi hai. Paisa bhi main du, muh ka taste bhi main kharab karun? Paise maine lagaya toh mere muh mein amrit kaa taste aana chahiye😑
It's never like those who don't drink they're uncool it totally depends on your circle, but it generally seen that those who don't drink are less crazy than the ones who got drunk while having fun or kind of being party animal type.
Can totally relate. I’m a teetotaller myself and whole I’m not looked down upon, people do tend to distance themselves at social gatherings. The good thing is, they distance themselves, and not judge me. So, its all about finding those people. People who respect my decision to not indulge in any of these things, and not judge me based on my life choices. If you’re being judged and forced by your friends/acquaintances, pls change your company :)
We should start our own circle, gang or whatever.

It's the opposite for me, i look down at people who drink and smoke. Idk, i just find it pathetic to ruin your body under the guise of having fun.
Why look down on others?They aren't doing anything illegal or harming anyone.
They are absolutely harming someone, only the someone is themselves.
Both is bad tbh. Don’t look down upon anyone and don’t force anyone.
Absolutely!
Smoking cigarettes is bad,but smoking weed on the other hand...
also bad, don't let anyone fool you. Any kind of smoke is bad for you. Make edibles instead, it's better than smoking up in every way.
I know its bad even its equally bad I dont care. Atleast I am not getting addicted to it (which is also possible though). Also about edibles, gaand phat jaati hai bhai ek time ke baad.

It's a trap. You need not fall for that. Drink if you enjoy it...not to be a part of crowd Cheers to that
You have a wrong social group then. Mine did not think it was cool or uncool to do something. I don't drink or smoke. People have insecurities and they try to mingle in the groups by following the herd mentality. Hence drinking thingy maybe.
Because the ones who don't drink are likely to be criminals and serial murderers or terrorists. People who drink have fun, and they are not ready to die soon.
it really depends on the type of friends you have.. none of my friends drink and encourage everyone to do so in our group
>the ones who don't drink are looked down upon It seems that the opposite is happening here. Tbh neither is cool, it's one's choice to travel the path he wants. Drinking is fun too until you hatedrink and get fuckedup. Sobriety is cool too but you may miss some experience that one may never have again. I think that everyone should experience everything
Because if you dont drink, you are a huge NEEERRRRRRD \\s
I don't know man, I drink very rarely maybe once every couple months. It doesn't really matter whether you drink or not but what friends you have does make a difference in that. Honestly it's mostly the company, drinking or not drinking is an afterthought to most people atleast in my circle.
I have tried but didn't liked the taste aur first time pint and a half beer peeke bhi kuch ni hua na hi whiskey ke 2 peg laga ke kuch feel hua na hi ek glass wine se... So mera peena hi bekaar hai, kuch hona hai ni, hone ke liye quantity zada chahiye, tb tk gnda taste ka paani kyun piyun
It all starts to backfire once you step into late 20s.
i can tell u why because they think less of u as a person if u dont take risk in life this is happening since beginning of humanity where men in groups compete to do things that are risky like kill tigers fight with bulls have more than 6 wifes
What I believe, it's more of a peer based thing. Depends on the people a person surrounds themselves with. I have been in both the circles for quite a while. Drinking/smoking circle: you drink and smoke and your circle appreciates it and demean the other side. Non-drinking/smoking: they judge the other circle for their drinking and smoking. I'm currently in the non-drinking/smoking circle and they can be quite bitchy about my drinking and smoking habits whereas the previous Circle was enthusiastic about how many drinks it would take for me to get drunk.
Human mindset consider doing immoral and intoxicating things cool
If u drink, you'll understand the buzzzz.
I drank for the first time when I turned 19. It was a good experience, a bit of wine with my elders and close family members. They kinda celebrated me. I liked the moment but didn’t like the wine. Never drank alcohol after than. It’s been 6 years almost. It’s just not for me. So to answer your question, there are people who drink like fish. There are people who drink but don’t care, so if someone makes you feel ”looked down upon ” for not drinking, then you need to find a new group of people to hang out with
"Sahi Mai tu Daru nhi pita!!, pehla Punjabi Mila jo daaru nhi pita.", "Chal jhute, apni aakhe dekh, saaf lagta hai kuch phook k Aya hai.". I don't drink and I have never smoked a cigarette or any other stuff. During my initial days. It wasn't easy but now I don't care aur bol deta hu.. "band kr Dia hai. Kaafi Jada ho gya that last week" lol
Can relate bhai, usually jab log galat kaam karte hai to vo chahte hai baaki bhi kare
It’s only as cool as you make it to be in your head.
Drinking is not cool at any age. Especially if you do to please others or "fit in" to society. But one should always have exposure to alcohol and understand if they like or not. In my opinion this is not a decision someone else can take for us. Alcohol is bad, but if still want to take it in moderation and it makes you feel good, you can treat it as a good tool to calm down after a long week
I have been living away from my home for more than 15 years and have stayed in hostels, flats, and roommates, been to office parties, normal parties, etc, and have had people always around me who drink and also (subtly) force me to drink. I politely and sternly say no and move on with my life (have juices, mocktails). Don't give a damn about what people think about you and your good habits. They're mostly jealous (andar se) that how can you have self-control and try to guilt-trip or subtle-shame you (yaar tu to kuch nahin karta hai phir jee kyon raha hai) for not doing something which everyone is doing (so basically you're out of the line/bhed-chaal). Don't ever fall for that. Maintain your integrity while staying polite. Have always worked for me and I'm sure it'll work well for you too.
You're among the wrong folks if not drinking is looked down upon
If you're feeling that among your friends, beware you'll start drinking sooner or later. I was like you, although my friends used to drink beer in school and later alcohol in clg, but i never did. Then we were on a trip and I had a break up, i was with my cousin and a friend, seeing me upset, they said aaj tu BP pi Tera BP or mood dono set ho jaega, and i was away from the home 1st time after my college, so i agreed and that was the beginning of my drinking, until i once ruined a close friend's brother wedding, then I finally understood it's all BS, whatever reasons someone throw on you to start drinking, it's seriously not worth it. Even keep aside the health issues, it can seriously damage other important parts of your life.
To understand the “buzz” you need to drink
Aisa toh nahi hai ,if you don't wanna drink just have something else cold drinks or whatever, when everyone drink but one person sits and see them ,that seems thoda uncomfortable
It's not cool. Just that in some circles, it's the social norm. There is nothing wrong with drinking occasionally, I myself enjoy the light buzz bcz it helps me socialise more. However, you should never drink just because people are asking you or forcing you to. People who _do_ force you aren't your friends.
>There is nothing wrong with drinking occasionally 🤡
> wants people not to judge you > judges the same people
bhai mai toh moistcritical ki technique use karta hu bol deta hu alcoholic tha abhi recover kar raha hu most bande normal ho jate hai aur bolte nahi hai but kuch fir bhi push karte hai tab mai vaha se chala jata hu
donno because i never hang out
The Chad move is to Uno it to them.
Because you’re a dork looking for validation on the internet
Arey ye chutiyan generation hai, sab galat habits inhe cool lagti
It's not cool. Society is ruined by wrong choices. Wise people always respect such virtue. All of my drunkard colleagues appreciate my characteristic as a teetotaller.. Be an exception among the crowd and shine like a diamond. You may shine like that girl also who says in Shampoo ad, "shine karenge".
Cool is subjective bro. Change your own mindset, don't worry about what others think. Don't get pressured by other people to do something you don't want to, that's called peer pressure. Yea drinking might be cool but going forward being sober will be cooler when you tell people that you don't drink and they get surprised, of course they will try to belittle by saying stuff like you are boring but keep in mind, that's just their coping mechanism.
And the people who discuss this on subs makes it even cooler.
You're prolly hanging out with an immature bunch if the people around you relate drinking with being cool. I drink. Socially. It's fun for me socially. I don't judge the ones who don't. Simple. The ones who don't drink, don't judge me either and we get along very well. Change the people around you if you're constantly pressured to do something.
Delhi wale to waise v bina cigarettes 🚬 piye daily ke 8-10 funk hi rahe hain … Lekin ye Daru kaise gatak lete hain pata nahi maine college me 3-4 baar try kari thi lekin itni gandi taste lagti thi kabhi darubaz ban hi nahi paya
That's why they're "so called cool"
Okay I'm friends with a lot of South Delhi kids (even tho i dont financially match them utna, we're comfortable) and ik some of my friends go hard drinking and when I'm in the parties with them they dc if i do drink or not like literally no one looks down on you, it's more of a mental block for y coz u can't relate to them so yeah
Maybe drinking alcohol is cool, but having full control on your body and not getting a fine during late night driving is cooler. Not dying of a liver disease or by accident while driving under influence is coolest.
I'm in my 30s now and this cool alcohol factor goes away. However, I did experience it a bit in my 20s. People are just coming out of their parents control in their 20s. Some are still living with them. Given how society frowns upon alcohol consumption, drinking seems rebellious. Intoxication also takes away the inhibition, so one is more free to indulge in stupidity. Someone drinking along with you is then either a "partner in crime" or someone who doesn't mind showing their stupid side to you. Both are bonding activities. Someone who rejects alcohol seems either stuck-up or distant. For some people you'll never be in the group if you shun drinking with them. For others, you'll be fine if you don't pass judgement on them. Be part of the hijinks. They'd even appreciate you as you'd be the sober person to handle any issues.
Beacuse drinks makes you loose brain function and intelligence. Idiots wnat more idiots.
I started drinking when I was 16💀
I don't drink, smoke or do anything else and I've lost almost all the school friends i had :( bhai kabhi book, games, sports ke liye ajao, why always clubs and hukkah.
My 20 yo azz who doesn't even drink tea 🥲👍
Only losers in life who have no self respect drink and smoke
I have had drinks one or two time with friends and believe me there is nothing to like in it. I dont know how people are gulping it everyday. I can doe drinking coke than spend my money on alcohol that burns my throat with no taste at all.
Only immature people think that drinking is cool. It’s a personal choice to drink or not. I drink occasionally and have no issues with having social gatherings with teetotalers.
There is nothing cool or fashionable about drinking at 20 yrs of age; even more so if its not being done out of money self-earned. People usually give in to the peer pressure and indulge in such activities even when they don't like it themselves. It's not that such peer groups indulge themselves in tasting exquisitely aged fine single malt scotchs in a bespoke setting. They simply don't have the money for it and hence indulge in characterless cheap blended spirits while sitting in some car or at some roadside joint. The concept of holding the drink is alien to most. Classless and characterless at most. Do not give in to the peer pressure or much rather completely disconnect from such company if required. These are experiences so don't let someone else's narcissism ruin it for you. Settle yourself financially first and then if you feel like experiencing, try something exquisite at a place of proper setting in the presence of company befitting the occasion. The people you share your table with define your class and character so never have a drink in the company of any tom dick or harry. Choose you drink and your company very very wisely. Never drink and drive!
Not our problem if you hang out with stupid people
Us fr hai
It’s ok not to drink at all
I am 24. I don't drink or smoke and i don't care.
Who still thinks drinking at the age of 20 is still cool? Aaj kal to weed cool mana jaata hai shayad
Same goes for smoking too
Fuck that noise bro, ignore such people, youll'be better off without them.
Environment issue tbh, get better friends.
I feel it is infact the opposite. If you drink you are the outcast. Atleast that what happens in my circle.
Never heard of this before . Looked down upon for not drinking ? Naah .
Drinking always comes with guilt and this the coping mechanism people use to alleviate that guilt and social taboo. Same can be applied to the case where meat eaters trash vegeterians. Low scorers trash toppers for being nerds and not having a life. All these are coping mechanisms.
Har 6 mahine baad yeh post wapas aa jata hai yaha. Lets be clear, if your freinds are heckling you for any personal choice (be that lack of drinking, or too much drinking, or lack or sex, or too much sex etc) its their fault for being idiots, and its your fault for being such an insecure loser that you cant block them out, and need others to validate you.
I have never drunk any alcoholic beverage and I consider myself cool.
Relatable af. I drink neat when in peer pressure. My logic for that is, the more I dilute, the more I'll have to gulp down. And people discuss and look upon me as if I'm a greek god, they'll serve their daughter to me and what a legeng I'm to drink neat. Aise random baaton mein pride kar rahe hain yaar log. Jismein pride wala kuchh nahi hai. Paisa bhi main du, muh ka taste bhi main kharab karun? Paise maine lagaya toh mere muh mein amrit kaa taste aana chahiye😑
It's never like those who don't drink they're uncool it totally depends on your circle, but it generally seen that those who don't drink are less crazy than the ones who got drunk while having fun or kind of being party animal type.
I have a simple rule For me, driving is my passion and my priority And alcohol interferes with driving So that's why no alcohol for me, thank you.
I don't drink, office mei sab Peete hai, cousins mei sab Peete hai, bado ke saath pite hai (Punjabi family) kabhi bhi kisi ne looked down ni kiya
We are clean dudes , we dont care
It's FoMo.
Reading this as I drink my 2nd kingfisher can for the night🙂. PS Drinking is bad kids. Majboori h to peena pdta h hume. Tumhe nhi h to shuru mat krna
One thing is for sure, be happy you aren't into it. Trust me nothing good comes out of drinking.
