I rarely drink. That's not to say I don't enjoy a drink now and then, I just don't depend on it for a good time.
When I was in my late teens/early twenties I used to get squiffy on a regular basis, but the appeal sort of palls over the years and waking up with a hangover is not my idea of fun. I prefer to stay in control of my faculties these days just in case I get an offer I can't refuse.
Plus it's much more comfortable and less hassle to drive home in my own car.

I drink at least 3 cans of a variety of carbonated sugar water drinks every day. I refuse to drink coke, though. 
The only times I've drank alcohol in the past year are when my uncle came over and bitched about me not being "sociable", and made me drink. The first time it was one sip of beer and I puked my guts out the rest of the night. The second time was fairly recent, and he kept filling up my glass with rumsick2 and coke (
). He filled it up twice before I went to the bathroom to throw up. I think next time I'm just going to tell him to lay off the "alcohol is a sociable drink", I can't stomach the stuff.

I haven't been particularly bad lately, but that's mainly cos I've been in Greece. The attitude here is a lot healthier than at home. Have a glass or two with food, socialise by dining out, not sitting in the pub getting locked.
The unfortunate thing is, that the stereotypes about the drunken Irish are pretty close to the mark these days. But the profile has changed - it used to be the old man drunk in the corner - now it's usually the teenager or college student, binge-drinking and ending up in hospital having their stomach pumped.
But none of this astute observation from afar counts for a sh*t when I go home, cos I go out, have about 10 vodkas, and end up pissed as a newt. Granted, it's only 1 night when it used to be a few, but still...
