actually the guy had more respect than her and he was a lot more sober i guess she was just gagging for it and if he got the chance he took the opportunity
chattychick09: And the guy was prob drinking also reckon he didnt have much respect for himself either

Thats an awful double standard, they were both doing the same thing so how can he have had more respect that her?

The only problem I could see for someone that drank dating someone that didnt drink would be if the non-drinker was judgemental of the drinker, or, of course, if the drinker was abusive of the non-drinker. If two mature people can go out and enjoy the night whatever way they prefer, with or without a couple of drinks and still get on, then you are on a winner thumbs up

I definitely would not date a non drinker.
It would just create sit com worthy situations.

Pete31: I'm Just Curious to know how people feel about dating a teetotaler ?


Suppose it depends on what the person is like if they are good crack without drink then they dont need it, some people only drink because it gives them a confidence boost, you loose your inhibitions, nothing wring with a few drinks as long as it doesnt change the person too much
