Yasss! EquALLity Edit: Omg thank you guys for all the upvotes

My god, those eyes..... And that little void blep...

I'm currently homeless and it was because my landlord sold the house without telling us til a week before we had to move out. I have a special needs son and on a fixed income so I haven't been to find anything.

Fr like we cant do anything without getting bullied :(

Not all are assholes but some are.

YAAS!!!! i am an old fart of 64. i stopped drinking alcohol when i was 25. it was a choice. ever since then i have been treated strange when i refuse a drink. i don't like being cajoled to drinking as it will eventually p**s me off. and, no, i am not in recovery. i just don't drink.

Struggle of my life. I can't stand the smell and taste of it. I can't stand the feeling of being drunk. And most important, as an Asian I lack the enzymes that deal with alcohol. But somehow people hardly accept it when I refuse to drink. Or turn down a meal or desert that contains alcohol. 'Trx it anyway, it's all burnt off'. No it's not. And what's the point for me of having one spoonful of food or one shot, when I am trapped in one place for hours afterwards because i can't drive anymore. With incredible headaches, raging heartbeat, numb jaw and having massive problems just to breathe. Drinking is a big part of German culture. Fine, but don't force it on someone. Mysteriously same people are highly offended, when I suggest to do some heroin together instead, just to make a point (no, don't touch heroin ever!). End of ranting.

Alcohol is a sedative - at least this is how our brain perceives its effects. Why would we want to get a sedative in happy moments?

I stopped drinking in 2002. No regrets. I just got fed up of getting hangovers after a few beers and not being drunk. Had to push back some s**t from a few people but hey ho.

Alcohol is the only drug you have to explain why you're not using.

i have alcohol related trauma and hell will come to earth before you get me near an alcoholic drink

I don't like the taste of alcohol. I don't get the "drive to a bar, drink, and drive away blitzed" concept. But then again, growing up with an alcoholic parent scared the c**p out of me NOT wanting to drink.

Allergies, not liking to be fuzzy headed, previous unpleasant experiences with it (including addiction). Just not liking it. Being pregnant and not ready to announce and please stop drawing attention to why I don't drink no matter the reason

Alcohol sucks.

I'm actually allergic to alchohol and I still have to argue with people. I've tried every kind and a few foods cooked in it and it's triggered at minimum a headache at worst a migraine within two hours Every time. Yet still even that isn't reason enough for some people.

Absolutely agree! There are many valid reasons for not drinking alcohol. This is your choice to make..."choice" meaning both yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers!

I never drink alcohol, never like the taste of it. I'm happy with water and fresh orange juice.

I don't drink because of the medication I am on. I hate it when people push and push to find out what's wrong with me.

I love to drink. I'm probably an alcoholic. But I would never, ever look down on somebody who chooses not to drink. That's their business, and it has nothing to do with me. Besides, the less booze they drink, the more there is available for me!

Thank you! I'm 45 & have always been DD with friends & family. The 2 times I got drunk I did really stupid s**t. Also, my sister is an alcoholic, so someone has to run the house, had to parent her daughter, etc.

Oh yeah! I'm not a drinker, simply because I rarely feel like drinking. I always get that side look and the 2 to 3 seconds pause with the: "oh yeah, you don't drink...". I started replying with an eyeroll... :D

My Dad and older sister were both alcoholics and made my life and my mother's life absolutely miserable. I never drank--never liked the taste of most booze and had no intention of being like the drunken idiots I encountered at college. Turns out I have a weak liver so not drinking at all, for all these years, probably saved my life.

Yup. This one p*sses me off to no end.

I don't want to do meth. So don't judge me for saying "no" Pinkman

My husband and I do not drink because we don't like the flavor or the smell of alcohol. At times, in social situations, people are put off by our abstinence. I find that odd, it does not bother me that they are drinking, why should it bother them that I am not.

I can’t tolerate alcohol because of My Health. But when I tell don’t drink people take it as if I’m boring or a Saint!

Can't say I've ever turned a drink down? In fact my brain refuses to make sense of this daft question!

Obsession la they feel guilty if you dont drink with

I've been clean my whole life and honestly don't care to ever start it. Thankfully I haven't dealt with the kind of people that would ask all that but I know it has to be annoying

I drink and I don't get why non-drinkers get a hard time. You don't want to drink with me? Ok cool. That's it. Why harass someone to do something they don't want to?

I don't like to drink in public or even at private parties. At home, I like a drink every now and then. People get weirded out when I order a club soda. They always assume I'm an alcoholic. No....I don't want to PAY for a drink when I have the bottle at home, I don't want to drive with even one drink in me, and I don't want to Uber because I maybe had 2 drinks in me. Overall, club soda's just easier.

Who do you hang out with?!? Time to upgrade your crowd.

I've always enjoyed a social drink....but in midlife, I've been dx with an autoimmune condition, and have found it to be very much aggravated by alcohol. I'm choosing now to only have a drink on special occasions (I enjoy the taste of a nice wine and champagne) I may well have to live without it completely in the near future....so I am already feeling the pressure on times from others to "just have one".

THIS. If you're reading it, know that you're an amazing person. The hardships you're going through do not define you. Be sure that you're already doing the best anyone can do under the circumstances. And that any storm comes to an end, eventually. Hugs.

This role weighed very heavy on this young man. He has had to get out of acting for a while to get over the hate he received for the great job he did of making us believe how awful he was.

Just wish people would put them in the bin or there was a way to recycle them as its pissing me off how many of these I'm seeing littered everywhere!

Pitbulls. Punish the deed, NOT the breed.

To think that customers get frustrated not getting there food in 47.832 seconds....

Introverts, period. It's okay to not be a social butterfly.

I show my teeth and play dead sometimes when I don't like people

Say it louder! Absolutely.

The thing about Math is it's not easy to teach. Very few students have a natural aptitude for Math. If you have a good teacher everything gets easier. I'm not a fan of Math but it's essential. Right now I'm a Biotech student and still using Math so no way to escape

Eg. Gravity falls

A good vanilla ice cream is an excellent ice cream.

Well, some websites clearly don't f*****g agree with THAT. For f**k's sake.

As long as it tastes good
