    I want to go teetotal (well straight edge) and kick alcohol forever, I don't like it much and there are better things to spend money on.

    I know it may be antisocial to reject offers of drinks from family and friends but I don't care.

    Are there any health benefits from skipping it all, I rarely drink as it is but I heard someone say that wine and stuff has health benefits

    Red wine does have some health benefit.

    Straight-edge works pretty well for me, as I can't afford drinks, nor do I really like them a lot. However, when offered for free, I don't say no. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    The only problem I have with being teetotal is that I see sights that I'd prefer not to see on a night out and I've no easy way of obliterating that memory.

    Aside from that it's awesome.

    Well..good idea. As someone who is teetotal (for all intents and purposes) it is a great life. Although one that gets snide remarks from friends.
