Those who don't smoke or drink how do y'all do it?

[mbewane]

I smoke and can admit they are holier than us nikka

We reduce stress with harmful substances for a little relief, sober folks hold it down like G's tho

I don't smoke nor drink to reduce stress, but because I enjoy it

I said I respect those who don't drink for health reasons. But as far as peace of mind? I don't buy that rationale. Some of our greatest thinkers and contributors to civilization were drinkers, many of them habitually so. Dudes who say that should just admit they're squares.

Why is that so difficult to believe? What brings peace of mind to a person is unique to that individual. A person can't have peace of mind staying sober because some drunks may be intellectuals or contribute to society? That correlation doesn't make any sense.

It can also be argued that a person's contribution to society doesn't really have much to do with their peace of mind. Some of the most tortured souls are also our greatest geniuses.

I’ve done it a few times but not enough to say I’m causal. I just think about the harm I’m doing to my body. Like literally

Drinking and smoking is beyond wack, only thing that limits me from getting p*ssy is that I'm #uglygang

In other words if breh was on an island with no alcohol he would go crazy

@I Really Mean It people look at you as weird for not liking "sweet drinks", why did you even make this thread. U are pointing fingers at yourself.

I'll have a beer or 2 or drink in a social setting, but I've never been drunk before, never been high, and never had any desire to do either. Sold weed for a brief time and would have no qualms about doing it again given the right circumstances, but never smoked it.

Add the fact that some of my most painful experiences in life have been the direct result of people abusing alcohol, and I know that's definitely not a path I'm ever going to go down.

I get by by doing me. I just tell people I'm not a drinker and let the chips fall where they may. You definitely feel the awkwardness and condescension from people when you tell them you don't drink (particularly bytches) or smoke. Not much different than the looks or uninitiated convos I used to have when I used to be vegetarian. People feel as though you're internally judging them if you willfully abstain from any type of behavior they do freely, so they react accordingly. Insecurity is a beast sometimes.

He said he doesn't like sugary shyt but he's judging others lmao.

 

[Diondon]

Have 0 interest in smoking or getting high.
Don't give a damn bout drinking neither but might have a drink socially every blue moon
Everybody have vices but those aren't mine. And I prefer to keep my mind weapon sharp.

 

[staticshock]

You asking like it’s just like breathing talking bout how do y’all do it


nikka just put the bottle down or stop smoking

 

[Behind-the-wheel]

It's easy.
Live a life that you don't want to run away from....and there's no need for drinking or drugs.


I love my life. I have everything need and 90% of what I want.
No need for escapism.

This is how I live. Repped.

I've honest to God never smoked a cigarette in my life and can count on one hand the number of times i've consumed alcohol on my life. Personally I find cigs to be disgusting, but then i've also inhaled enough 2nd hand smoke to last a lifetime anyway.

And i never developed a taste for alcohol, not to mention having witnessed countless times the destruction it's caused. Alcohol literally makes you a retarded toddler, why the fukk would i want to consume something that impairs my mental faculties to that of a retarded child?

I've never smoked weed either, i don't even take a tylenol for a headache. I just don't see the point in any of it.

 

[I Really Mean It]

But literally poisoning your brain will help your peace of mind

Dumb ass

Look, if people don't want to drink, cool. I'll respect that choice. But conversations like these always prompt me to recall a famous routine by Red Foxx, where he gave the last words of a man on his death bed:

I never smoked, never drank, didn't any red meat, but I'm a die healthy.

I look at non-drinkers the same way I do vegans. What's the point?

 

[panopticon]

As someone who does neither, I've found that if you have good enough reasoning you can turn it into a point of interest to a lot of females

It's also gained me a lot of respect from both genders

This.

Ultimately that old saying really applies here..."those who mind don't matter, those who matter won't mind"
