I have never been drunk in my life, is this unusual?

I’ve never been drunk or even tipsy. I am Tee total because I have never liked the taste of anything with alcohol in it.
Can’t say it’s ever been a problem as far a social events are concerned.

Once. Age 19. Scrumpy combined with ignorance. Lethal cocktail. Fortunately I had some very lovely matelots looking out for me. A whole life of abstinence started that night but I now have an occasional small red wine when I'm lunching out. Perfect.

Ah! You were out on the town with the Navy.

The honest answer is no.
There is a world of difference between feeling mellow after a couple of G&T’s and reeling about the place. Just never felt the need.I don’t smoke either and have never been remotely tempted to try recreational drugs.

Oh ye gods, yes, play for the pissed as a fart team!

I thought all the replies would be 'No I've never been drunk' for some reason. I'm glad there are some like me who have over indulged

When I was in my teens someone, not maleficently, gave me a pint glass of Dubonnet and lemonade. I lay awake all night trying not to be sick - terrified that my mum would find out!

I haven't done it again, but wine does go straight to my head. Fortunately the effect is very shortlived! But I'm not keen on wine, so avoiding it isn't a problem.

More often than I care to remember when I was much younger (late teens/early twenties). Stopped drinking totally when I was 25, but over the last ten years or so have a glass of wine now and again. To be honest really don't like most alcohol except in food.

Found a bottle of Glenmorangie single malt whisky in the cupboard the other day and put some in the Chicken a la King. Can't remember where it came from, or how long we've had it, we would never have bought it - OH discovered later it costs over £35 a bottle. Still, might as well use it - all part of the decluttering scheme.

I am not much of a drinker. I once got a little bit tipsy but that was years ago. I would hate not to be in control of myself. Red wine sends me to sleep. However I am looking forward to a glass of chilled white this evening.

So am I....

Jane I love your honesty!

I was T total till my thirties. Then it started as social drinking and carried on to comfort drinking because of an unhappy marriage. I finally changed my life and circumstances, and ditched the drink. I’m now happily T total again.

I have never been drunk either. I just don't like the smell and taste of alcohol. Growing up with an alcoholic mother may be responsible, but I do like to be in full control of myself. I didn't even like the one whiff of gas and air that I tried during childbirth!

The only time I've been pretty drunk was in my late teens on holiday in Devon with boyfriend and another couple. I had some local scrumpy and enjoyed it, having no idea of its reputation. Probably I had a maximum of one pint. I can just remember trying to crawl up the stairs, with great difficulty and much hilarity.

I only remember being drunk once, on the first night I was alone after my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
I was sick and the red wine stain is still on the silver grey carpet under a rug.

Not for about 15 years I’d say, but yes quite a few times before that ….some occasions I would prefer to draw a veil over???

I’ve been merry on a few occasions but never so out of it that I didn’t know what I was doing.

Several years ago on holiday abroad I was sat in the hotel lobby waiting for DH who’d gone up to the room for something. There was a group of respectable looking ladies hanging around. I would say they were in there 50s and one them especially was totally out of it. She was running around going up to people asking them if they supported a certain Rugby team. I just thought to myself if ever I got in that state I would be mortified. I might add I’m no prude but this was so embarrassing to watch.

Occasionally a little tipsy but never more than that because I feel nauseous before I'm drunk, and it was the same when I was young.

Many times. In the past. I don't think I drank a lot, I'm just not very good at it!

I’ve never been drunk. I quite liked sherry in the days when that was the fashionable drink, but I’ve never liked any other alcohol, so I don’t drink.

I don’t need alcohol in order to talk, as some people do. We had a lovely young lecturer when I was at university who couldn’t really socialise without alcohol. I suppose it was a sort of shyness.

I have been drunk drunk only a few times I ve been Merry a lot of times but not much lately
I drink very rarely now but if I do it seems to have absolutely no effect on me unfortunately
You d expect it to be the other way round

No never, as soon as my head starts feeling weird I stop, half a glass of wine is enough ?
