Hangover doesn't do what I had justice lolI stopped drinking a couple of years ago due to a couple of rather bad experiences, mainly ending up 200 miles away, with no memory of how I ended up there.
Hangover comes to mind

I think it is a weird hobby, but its bloody good fun... having to explain to a lass that you've brought back that that isn't a real gun propped up against the desk and that you're in no way shape or form going to murder her isn't fun, apart from in hindsight.

I don't drink either. I used to, just no longer. As far as toxic chemicals go, ethanol gives a poor return for the damage.
I understand why people worry about being thought of as weird. I'd say that there is a lot to be said for managing your 'weirdness index', especially as a young person, but it's worth bearing in mind that whilst being thought of as different is likely to knock you down a peg or two in the pecking order of a peer group which is composed, along the standard mammalian lines, of an alpha (individual or couple), one or two lieutenants (each), and a number of willing subordinates, if you are the alpha this is not true and if you are a lieutenant, the bumlicking already required of you should see you secure.
Something else worth bearing in mind is that, if you are weird, and have insufficient wealth and/or good looks to collect lieutenants and peer group around you effortlessly, then the problem you face cannot be satisfactorily overcome simply by keeping it a secret to fit in. You must either become successful in a way which garners respect, or cultivate the friendship of the weirdest people of all - those who genuinely have little interest in taking part in subconscious mammalian behaviour... psychopaths, sociopaths, the autistic/Asperger's, and the abnormally intelligent.
Some of my friends think I'm weirder for having sex with women than for airsoft, but, no doubt, there are people who are/will read this who think I'm weird for being friends with not just one but several gay men. You can't please all the people all the time and, although you can fool enough, enough of the time, it's fortunate that these days we have leisure to simply not bother our arses with doing so...

Yes, we're weird, but really who cares?
