  I've not even bothered this year. Felt the same as any other day, not that I need much of an exuse to get pissed normally... Just seemed pointless this year.

  
  I gave up earlier in the year, and this is my first Christmas without.

  I am teetotal, so by default, this is an alcohol-free Christmas for me.

  I don't drink. I suspect Christmas would be more exciting if I started.

  All these teetotallers! What's the story?
  
  More info needed! This is Britain, after all ... land of the binge-drinker! Or so we are led to believe.
  
  I'll start ... I don't drink because I used to drink too much, years ago, during a bad time.

  I don't drink either. I am 35 and never been drunk! :eek: The only reason is that I don't like the taste of Alcohol. Most people look at me like an alien when I tell them that or think I must have been a raging alcoholic at some point in my life.

  The last time I had any alcohol was last year. I prefer drinking water, elderflower, tea etc.

  Nasty, I had that twice last year, once 10 days before my wedding, then again at christmas, and couldn't get to the docs for the good painkillers!

  Yeah, had a low-key family Christmas which didn't really seem to need alcohol. I had a couple glasses of wine round my mates yesterday and I'm going out with my boyfriend tomorrow night though, will probably get tanked.

  Snap! I'm 42 and never been drunk because I can't stand the taste of alcohol!. Must have dodgy taste buds or something. Beer/lager tate like sulphur to me and spirits/wine taste like rotten vinegar!!

  Wow! I didn't realise there was another person out there! LOL! Do people give you funny looks when you tell them?
