Do you drink alcohol at all? Please vote :)

I don't because I don't like the way it makes me feel and it gives me migraine especially wine.
 
I drank alot in my younger days. After having a child maybe a drink on the 4th a glass of wine on Christmas.
On vacation one year, one of those fancy drinks every night.

I haven't had alcohol for 3 years. It's ruined too many lives.
 
I've never drank alcohol (nor smoked nor did drugs lol). I saw how it affected my older siblings so I learned at a young age to not even bother. Plus, it's just not me.
 
Yeah I drink a lot. But a safe a lot. I used to drink anything and everything when I was younger and going out every weekend. Drinkning two bottles of white wine as pre drinks then spending a further £100 out in pubs/bars. Not sure where I put it all. Now I can still hold my own, can get through a crate of lager quite easily. But can't handle spirits really. I do drink wine, but not white, only red now.
