Excuses For Not Drinking
As someone who has chosen not to drink alcohol, I understand that I’m often met with confusion and questions. People often don’t understand why I don’t drink, and I’m often asked to explain my decision. I don’t mind explaining my choice, but I don’t like feeling like I’m being judged for it.
So, if you’re looking for an excuse to not drink alcohol, here are some of the reasons why I don’t:
-

-
Hangovers: Hangovers are no fun. They can leave you feeling tired, dehydrated, and nauseous. I don’t want to spend my days feeling like this, so I choose not to drink.
-
Addiction: Alcohol is highly addictive. I don’t want to start down a path that could lead to addiction, so I choose not to drink.
-
Cost: Alcohol can be expensive. I’d rather spend my money on things that make me feel good and don’t have any negative effects.
-
Responsibility: I’m responsible for my actions and I want to be in control of them. Drinking alcohol can impair my judgement and I don’t want to do anything I might regret.
-
Time: Drinking alcohol takes time away from other activities. I’d rather spend my time doing things I enjoy, like spending time with friends and family, exercising, or reading.
-
Taste: I don’t like the taste of alcohol. I’d rather drink something that I actually enjoy.
These are just a few of the reasons why I don’t drink alcohol. Everyone has their own reasons and I respect that. At the end of the day,
