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.

Thats so true...know your limits......no problems at all with social drinkers...i'm happy to be one of them.

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.

What if "she" is the one that gets drunk and beats the hell out of me? AN EX broke 3 of my rids one night..

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.
vonney: 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.
well actually, it might be for younger people, because they might precieve you as boring, but all of us older folks, that have seen alcoholism at it worst, might even perfer a non-drinker...JMO <-------- soda pop..
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. 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.:beer:
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
