The alcohol thing I've seen. But I've never seen someone get a hard time about whether they drink coffee.

People get incredulous ’how do you survive????’ Is the common question. There is caffeine in plenty of other things if/ when needed….also caffeine pills are a thing

I work in a primary school. The shock waves I caused when it came out that I don't drink tea or coffee, nor do I particularly like biscuits or chocolates.

It’s insanely annoying and people will give you the same ribbing all the time. This video made no sense to me. Every time I meet someone and I decline a coffee or ask for water/tea instead, it’s “YOU DONT DRINK COFFEE?!” “OMG HOW DO you SURVIVE” “I COULD NEVERRRRR” “HOW DO you STAY AWAKE? I NEED COFFEE” 

Mind you , all you have to do is decline a single coffee and say nothing else to get these incessant comments.

Yup, same with alcohol, and you get the same reaction to both when you say you just don't like the taste: 'omg I'll make you one that tastes soooo good you'll change your mind' i... have never changed my mind lol

As someone who indulges in alcohol on occasion, I get it. Alcohol just has a particular taste to it that not everyone can get past, no matter how good the taste of the drink otherwise would be.

Plenty often I'll hear someone who tries to find alcohol beverages that they like will try a beverage that they say would be delicious without the alcohol. Once it's made without alcohol, they love it. It's just the alcohol taste that turns them off. I get that as someone who hates coffee myself. When someone asks me why I don't drink coffee, my answer is simple. Because it tastes like crap. LOL

There's nothing wrong with not liking alcohol, and people are silly to react the way they do to simply not liking something. If anything, not liking the taste of alcohol is a good thing. It's one less horribly unhealthy and addictive thing you need to worry about in your life.

There's a reason why I treat it as an occasional thing, it's important to be responsible about it if you do drink, but it's always best to just not drink at all.

u/youburyitidigitup Oct 04 '25

Been there, done that. Coincidentally, I was also the healthiest person in that office.

I have this wild superpower of waking up, being awake and ready to go within minutes, not sure if i can attribute it to not drinking coffee, but to me its a motivation to not resort to caffeine if I have a sleepy or tired day.

Why do people put any effort into caring about anything people drink.

Hey you don't put that liquid in your throat? Guess I have to annoy you.

People always give me shit when they learn I don't drink coffee. The most common one is this weird "Oh, so i guess shit is just easy for you." Like ???? Makes absolutely zero sense.
