If I drink I will inflame my prostate and cause impotence, I am only 31
so i have give people a good lie for the reason i dont drink. Any
ideas, something long lasting , as I wont be able to drink for a long
time. Any tropical diseases? Anything, which isnt as embarrising..

At the age of 41, I discovered that I wasn't as good in the sack after
several drinks. One very close call at a holiday traffic stop gave me
pause. Finally decided that drinking was a matter of choice, not a
status symbol. Here are some that I regularly use. Waitresses,
friends, spouse, bartenders and my dog seem to not be offended:
1. "I'm driving this evening."
2. "I'm driving this afternoon."
3. "Thanks, I'll pass."
4. "Thanks, no."

"No, thank you."
You have not the slightest obligation to explain to ANYONE why you choose not to
drink.
I am occasionally offered a social joint. Although I am a child of the '60s and
have no brief against that harmless herb, I choose not to partake--it's just not
something I find particularly appealing. So to keep up my reputation for
whimsey, I add, "It only makes me sneeze."
If someone recognizes the reference, I have a basis for an enjoyable
conversation.

A lady that i know just came from columbia,
She smiled because i did not understand.
Then she held out some marijuana, ha ha!
She said it was the best in all the land.
And i said,
"no, no, no, no, i don't smoke it no more,
I'm tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door."

=====> i'm one of those crazy vietnam vets. when i came back to the
states, i drank to forget. and i had a curse with alcohol. i felt
better when i drank. i didn't get hang overs, and i had more energy
when i would wake and be raring to go. but it was when one of my
fellow brother in arms who gave me the wake up call..... he said, 'you
don't drink anymore'. i looked at him kinda funny after my night out
of drinking with him and ask why? he said, "not since you find out what
a funnel is for" and he was serious.
a few weeks later, i got into a big gun fight. i had a talk with myself
and ended up quiting cold turkey
the next day, i sat the bottle down and i still have that same bottle
with the what's left of the contents in it to remind me of my past.
that was 39 years ago.
i didn't go to AA meetings or get counselling. i just quit drinking and
never missed it.
so, when someone ask to drink, i just tell him straight up that i don't
care for the alcohol and give me a coke or soft drink. i will still sit
and drink with them, and i will have a good time - just not with
alcohol.
and if they push the issue, i will look them straight in the eye and
said, "which part of "no" did you not understand? the N or the
O..............

| It's true; why do you feel you have to explain not drinking? It's
like when the kids ask daddy "WHY". It's because I said so.
You could also claim to have become a Mormon.

You got a knife, I got a gun
Come on boy we're gonna have a little fun
I'm a jealous man

You are all correct of course. The one thing I would say is I am not
from the States, where i am from is more of a drinking culture and I
think the pressure to drink is stronger.

Understand that sequential Kampai toasts are hard to avoid. If a
waitress is setting up the rounds, stop by the bartender or waitress
before the first round and state your preference for a non-alcoholic
drink. In my younger years, I spent a lot of yen buying hostess drinks
-- tea and an ice cube.
When the boss has the bottle on the table, you may have to bite the
bullet and suffer the consequences.
If "competitive drinking" isn't happening, order something like an
Arnold Parlmer--becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. and it might
spread overseas.
