I don't like the taste of it either. Also, the only effect I ever got was nausea.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think some people also take it as a criticism of their drinking, which is...weird. I mean, I don't drink soda, because I can't stand carbonation, but turning it down isn't me commenting on someone else's likes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have been literally yelled at for not drinking. Not for talking about drinking or anything annoying, but for refusing a drink at a party and when the person urged me to take it, saying "I don't drink but it looks delicious." They then told me I was a freak who didn't know how to have fun.
Yipes. Okay, I take it back. Clearly for some drinkers, not drinking is a big deal. Me in my little bubble, I didn't realize.

I've never had people make a big deal out of me not drinking since high school. Even then it wasn't really a negative thing, it was just regarded as an odd quirk since pretty much everyone else drank.
Also, it was handy for my friends since I could always drive. Especially important since the police wouldn't make a fuss about underage drinking as long as you didn't drive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would also imagine in many places, it's a huge plus in a group of friends, if the non-drinker is willing to be the driver. I mean, right? Get some sense, people!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yep! I got to be the designated driver after cast parties. I felt important.

In college I was the designated "OK, what did I do last night?" person. Or "Did you see where my coat went?"

So, DH's giftie has been purchased. Yay!
Now I think it's time to pick up Isaac and head home from work.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Back in school I was always the straight-laced designated driver in the circles of friends I hung out with.
I'm not quite sure how I got from there to reacting to Miracleman's dire warnings about how strong the drinks were at the Old Absinthe House by throwing a sazerac back in one gulp and grousing that it wasn't even 80 proof.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
