I am a non-drinker. In fact I have never drank alcohol. My question is simply: Do women find this a turn-off?

Thank you for voting.

I think it's a turn off if the the drunk becomes violent and beats the woman. I've never had alot of respect for overly intoxicated people. Alcohol makes okay people do stupid things.

I hope not.
I'm not a drinker either.

I actually find it's easier to find other nondrinkers than it is to find nonsmokers!
dunno ... go figure.

It's a choice that should be respected.

No, it's not a turn off. I rarely drink when I go out...usually stick to Diet 7Up. When I do drink alcohol, I'm smart enough to keep it to a couple, then switch back to pop. So, for me, it's a plus.

Not at all. For myself, I've never had a drink either. I find it a turn-off when someone drinks in excess. Nothing worse than not knowing what the hell you did last night and with who. Nothing wrong with a glass or two of wine with dinner; just not my preference.

Well coming from a Country where drink plays a large part in socialising, when I meet a guy who doesnt drink I ask him how long he has been sober.

I, personally, think a man who doesn't drink has all their facultys about them but I don't mind if they drink and is funny. Either one of us being 'smashed' is unacceptable.scold

I am a fall down drunken alcoholic, and most of the women I meet are already on the floor (sometimes passed out) so they rarely ever think its a turn off. rolling on the floor laughing JUst kiddin. IMO it depends on the type of girl and her drinking habits. Its a toss up, some maybe yes others maybe no. Either way good luck.

I think it is totally fine to be a non-drinker. I respect people's decision and the discipline it takes to not drink! Although, personally, I still like to drink sometimes when I go out with friends.

Definitely not a turn off for me. I don't mind someone who
drinks a little but you also have to know when to quit.
I enjoy my egg-nog and rum around the holidays and maybe
a very cold beer on a hot day but that's about it for me.:be

not drinking very often is good. never drinking at all just seems kind of creepy to me. like mormon stuff. akward. then i feel like i am not allowed. or if i do, then i'm wrong. i usually prefer to be around people who share the same interests.

A couple of years agoI had been chatting with a very nice woman, and when I told her I was a non-drinker, she told me she didn't think she could trust someone who doesn't drink. After telling her that my decision to quit alcohol was b/c of someone in my family that is an alcoholic, her opinion didn't change. I decided if she couldn't trust me a relationship was out of the question. She does still e-mail me occasionally.

well until your reply- i would have gone with vonneys- a person that doesn;t drink would immediately have been a red flag to me- did you used to drink??
not that there is anything wrong with that- a person that used to drink to excess and has now got that sorted is obviously a person that has regained control of his/her life.

that said- i am scottish!! and we like to have a drink at times- and i would not like to feel that i couldn't go out for an occasional wild night out if it would make me feel guilty.

i have a couple friends, however that are ex alcoholics, and can go out with us and have a great night of fun, but remain sober, because they know they have to. well, i have only respect for that.But in all honesty, an ex alcoholic probably wouldn't be a good choice for me, since i know that i enjoy alcohol on a (reasonably!!) responsible basis, and that would be a huge temptation to an alcoholic, and it wouldn't be fair on either of us-

either for me to have to not ever enjoy a drink without feeling guilty or for him to have to be in a tempting situation
