I've had alcoholic drinks occasionally for decades now.
But never have I had an urge. If alcoholic drinks disappeared, it would have no effect on my life (other than making Vegas a little boring).
Am I alone in never having the urge for a drink?

I get the urge sometimes. Mostly after bad days at work. But i dont drink often enough to affect me if it went away.

I wouldn't say I need it. But a glass of whiskey at the end of the day sure is good. Or a beer on a hot day. There are those days where I look forward to getting a drink in my hand as soon as I get home.

People say it all the time. They use the word "need." Almost every adult I know drinks alcohol at home after work.
I don't.

Yes, and today was one of them.
I had to go into downtown Manhattan today on some business.
I got there early & it is pretty damn cold out today.
I went into a Starbucks, sat with my coffee, and was aware that I felt really nostalgic about/had an urge to retreat into a small local bar, dark & warm. I would have loved to just while away a few hours there.
Alas, maturity & responsibility once again won the day.

I occasionally drink at home after work, but, there are more days when I don't than when I do.
About the only time I really feel urges to drink are when I'm surrounded by others who are drinking. For example, if I'm going to a OSU tailgate or to a co-workers going away party at a bar on a Friday night, I'm going to want to drink.
At the same time, if I'm going to one of my kids friends 2nd birthday parties, I'm not going to feel the need to join that random weirdo who is pounding down beers at 11 AM when 98% of everyone else is sipping on coffee. If a bunch of people are sipping on wine though, I'll partake.
I guess I'm more of a situational drinker? I don't know, I don't really put a ton of thought into it.
(I picked "Other" on the poll. I guess I do occasionally feel the need to drink, but it's really only if everyone else around me is drinking)

I dont really ever NEED a drink but I sure do enjoy one here and there. Especially certain times of the year.Like hunting season when its cold a good dark beer like a porter just hits the spot. Or in the summer on hot days if your fishing or grilling, a nice crisp cherry wheat or two hearted ale just feels good.

Well that's just being deliberately over-literal.
NEED a drink as in, really, really want a drink.
And for me, yes. Way too often. Working on it.

I don't like drinking, never had a "need" for anything
I would never drink if it wasn't forced down your throat due to our culture, it's just not fun
Weed though...not need but WANT WANT WANT

Nope, don't drink and never have the desire to. I'm lucky I got that s--- outta my system when I was a 26er a weekend teenager.

There are days the urge to drink is a hell of a lot stronger than others, I may or may not give in, in fact I usually don't but that urge is definitely there.
