My Drinking Philosophy

During the weekend alot of people asked me about my drinking philosophy. So here it is:
I choose not to drink any alcohol at all. That does not mean that I look down on people who do, I just don't see the point in it. I understand those who want to drink for social reasons and if it is legal (i.e. you are overage and aren't driving) and not to the point of drunkenness (as drunkenness leads to debauchery according to the Bible) then I don't see a problem with it. Personally, I don't want to spend money on it (as it's expensive), see what the affects on my body are in conflict to my medicine, or as a camp blog post stated I don't want to have the temptation to like it and then have it lead to any consequences (addictions, lack of judgement, etc.). I've had to take care of too many drunk people/friends and seen the effects of the alcohol on those who don't know when to stop and those around them.
I instead chose to not drink any and typically stay away from the party atmosphere... mostly related to the fact that my body can't handle tons of bass, I'm not big into dancing, alcohol smells bad (it's an acquired taste apparently), and often people tend to not wear enough clothes in those places.
That being said, I do not put my personal philosophy on anyone else and just encourage you to follow the drinking laws and the Biblical guidelines to not drink to the point of sinning or being in danger.
