so is being sober, ex drinker speak and different from teetotal? just wondered.

Sorry, I don't really understand the question.


well the only ppl i have ever heard say they are sober are ppl who used to not be sober. whereas teetotal folks just don't drink and call themselves teetotal.
I just looked it up.
I can't say I am a teetotaler, as I said previously.. I do usually have 2 Margaritas with my birthday meal. and strictly stick to just 2.

I just don't like being drunk or being around drunks.

Absolutley nothing wrong with dinking. Is like everything else though. MODERATION. If your at the bar everyday its probably not a good thing unless you own it. Hell I love plowin one down every once and a while. Designate a driver though. Being a Paramedic I am begging you to Designate a driver>

That's fine. But, you cannot get upset when others want to drink. You can only control what you do. Not what others do.

Are you reading anything I am writing? where do you get this crap?
I never said anything about getting upset with people that drink!!
I said I want to find a partner that don't drink, and why am I viewed as wrong for not drinking by so many.
Period.
And how is that trying to control what anyone else does.
try following the conversation instead of making up things that I never said.

Are people specifically telling you that you're wrong for not drinking, or are you assuming that's what they're thinking?

I usually shoot them with a tranquiliser dart and then funnel vodka into the mouth.

Other people may use different techniques.

See what you mean, It would be really hard to get a vodka IV started on them with all that fur.

So, you're assuming they're saying you're wrong, because you don't get as many "hits."

I have actually had people tell me I'm wrong for not drinking.

That's not cool. At least you know up front those aren't people you're going to want to get to know.
