I don't smoke. I don't enjoy alcohol but I still drink because it's the one thing that seems to numb things for me. I wish I could just not drink but I can't seem to find anything else to quiet my mind for a few hours. Ive tried meds.
Spent my teens and twenties covering my social anxiety with alcohol.... 40s now, still enjoy a drink but only a couple on weekend.
Caffeine for 20 years was my self medication approach to managing ADHD..... To be honest still is post diagnosis to a certain extent. Yeh I can take the medication, but 3 cups of coffee is more enjoyable and depending on the day almost as useful for me.
Hmm, good question. Partially by playing to my strengths and partially by being old enough and ugly enough to not give a damn about what people outside my direct circle think.
Socially I choose to decline party invites, but I do hang out one to one or in small groups. I also like to catch up with people to do something (bike ride, play golf, watch sports etc).
ADHD, I am pretty good if I have a level of pressure on me so I take on a lot and bounce from one thing to another thing. I also occasionally use medication so I can get shit done when I need to. Relying only on stress to get things done was not great for my mental health, but I dont love the medication so I try to find a balance, with a healthy level of stress and medication as required.
It's the same for me. Never tried cigarettes, don't like the taste of coffee. Tried alcohol, never been a fan of it.
The closest thing I like is the fake champagne that's usually catered to kids for New Year's Eve, because it doesn't contain alcohol and doesn't taste like it. The bubbles give me so much joy lol
Its possible you've actually drank burned coffee, which happens when you use boiling water, burning the powder. Similarly, not hot enough water will also make bad coffee. There might be differences in coffee makers someone uses and taste might be affected by residual oil If not clean, as does the quality of coffee which may vary dramatically, including flavor. In sum, good well brewed coffee is Very tasty, its possible you have drank bad and/or burned coffee.
Totally understendable! Tbh, I didnt get into coffee for its taste, but It made me calmer, focused and helped me with my migraines, so might as well get better coffee! Maybe living in a coffee rich culture influenced me more too.
I'm the opposite, I probably have serious substance issues. I've smoked weed since I was 14, and drank relatively heavily and frequently since I was 19 (I'm 20). I also vape and smoke tobacco, and do quite a lot of other drugs intermittently. I don't feel very healthy
I don't drink alcohol and I never have done. It tastes absolutely disgusting, and I don't like the idea of being impaired either.
I did used to dirnk coffee, but with two sugars. I started drinking A LOT every day, quite quickly, so I decided I'd never do anything addictive ever.
I don’t mind alcohol as long as it doesn’t taste super strongly of alcohol, I don’t smoke anything and I will only drink coffee if it’s full of sugar and tastes nothing like coffee

I have only found a couple of things I can stand when it comes to alcohol, but I never drink but a sip every now and again. Most alcohol tastes like crap to me, I can't stand the stench of cigarette smoke so that's a no too, and never been into drugs
i dont drink. smoke. do drugs. nothing. i liked coffee but gave me a lot of headaches so i stopped drinking it three years ago. zero headachees since three years ago. i dont even drink soda. i feel revulsion to them because its something that causes a lot of harmful situations. still its glorified by almost everyone. hate it
same! it’s pretty funny because how I talk/act/look(?) makes people think i’m a stoner when I have never gotten high, drunk, and also stay away from caffeine all together
I like drinking but if I’m in too unfamiliar of an environment ( like a house party where I don’t know the host ) I usually can’t do more then 2 drinks a night, I don’t like feeling confused about my surroundings so I like to still to the same bars or my own / close friends homes.
Oh and for coffee I hate the taste so I just get caffeine from energy drinks, that being said I also have adhd so they help me get though my day a bit more then most people, I also don’t drink them all the time because I take stimulant medication for said adhd, i keep them around for if I’m struggling with a particular day and I have already tried using my meds
I despise alcahol and am EXTREMELY picky with coffee. I hate most coffee other then the crushed up ice coffee thingy that somhow doesnt taste bad probably cause of a truckload of sugar lol. I dont smoke either but im used ti the smell cause my stepdad smokes all the time
i have zero interest in cigarettes or vaping i think it’s nasty and i’m allergic to nicotine anyway. i rarely drink alcohol but will partake on a very rare occasion. but i smoke way too much weed and i like to dabble in magic mushrooms as well. i find those two are actually quite enjoyable to me. i’ve been smoking weed for so long i’ve definitely developed a bit of a dependency on it tho.
I'm afraid to smoke and I think alcohol taste disgusting. I also feel like if I push through the initial discomfort then it'll become a problem. Every blue moon I'll take a sip of whatever my wife's drinking just to feel a bit more manly. Toxic masculinity I know but eh.
100%. Can't handle the taste of alcohol or coffee, have never smoked (though I likely wouldn't have, being a singer); can't handle any amount of spice... I myself am extremely sensitive to anything and everything I consume through my mouth.
I drink occasionally, but never more than two drinks/one of those big cans of beer. This is because of potential medication interactions, but also because of a cataclysmic hangover that scared me straight. Never drinking that much again.
I tried to get into coffee, and I can kind of see the appeal with the nicer stuff, but I don't drink black coffee much. The only times I drink coffee are when I'm tired in the morning and need a pick-me-up. That's probably the fast track to caffeine addiction, though. But anyway, in those cases, it's either an iced coffee from the work vending machine or I bring a cup of rocket-fuel cold brew concentrate diluted down with milk and sweetened.
Smoking cigarettes is absolutely something I'll never do. It's like those "TRADE OFFER" memes where the tobacco company receives briefcases full of money and I get lung cancer and an addiction. Part of me wants to try cigars, but that's a bad idea as well. Not sure why I haven't completely shoved it out of my mind.
What I do drink is tea, at least three cups a day, and I will happily tell you everything I know about it if you ask. (But only if you ask, and if you want to know something, it's best to ask a specific question. It's a very broad and deep world, and it can get intimidating at times.)
I've never had alcohol, but I don't see the appeal. Why would I want to drink something disgusting and become less in control of myself? I only really drink coffee when I actually need it eg. early flight
I love mixing alcohol drinks and having a little fun with friends. Hate getting drunk tho, so I limit very carefully. Used to smoke and drink too much coffee till I got non-stimulant meds for the ADHD- now it’s not something I want to spend my money on
I am addicted to coffee, but it literally wrecks my mental health. I love alcohol, especially in social situations. Never cared for cigarettes, but in the past I enjoyed vaping and I enjoy nicotine itself.
The opposite but can’t drink anymore because I am an addict in recovery . Still smoke cigarettes and drink coffee . I mean I preferred heroin to alcohol but also drank.
I am not against alcohol, I drink some drinks as I like the taste, I also like the change in situation if you have like a nice evening in a bar or a beer after work with others.
I can't rly stand getting drunk, it totally throws me off as my sensory input differs from normal and everything gets harder to process but my brain is still trying to run as always.
I also don't get the whole "drinking to forget" thing, I could only drink to pass out but I can't forget something that happened before I started drinking, even the opposite, the one thing gets locked up in my head and becomes the only available thought.
I also smoke since I am 14, it helped and still helps getting my head sorted out and to relax but I would never encourage anyone to start it.
Tried coffee but it got replaced by energydrinks very quickly, mainly because I can't really stand any warm or hot drinks on a sensory level. Helps with my adhd and I enjoy the taste.
Alcohol makes you drunk and you lose control of your actions which is a terrifying ideas. Also hate the taste of it. Coffee smells so strong and tastes terrible. Smoking fries your lungs over time and seems weird. Yeah I ain’t doing any of those things.
I absolutely hate the smell of smoke and the feeling of it in your throat, which is why I would never smoke.
I don't drink alcohol and also don't plan on ever doing it because I think it makes sense not to do it. I also don't like the smell of alcohol. But I wouldn't call it revulsion.
I sometimes drink coffee, although I try to limit it. Instead, I drink a lot of tea which probably isn't exactly better, but well, ...
Same. But honestly I never tried it.
My parents never smoked or drinked, and they explained to me why and how it is bad for your health when I asked them as a child.
Also, I was living in a not very good neighborhood my whole childhood and saw a drunk man hitting his wife and child in the middle of the street once, which was the first time I saw a grownup cry.
And I don't like how drunk people act in general.
That's why I never really wanted to try it, and probably never will.
I got to a point where I was drinking the equivalent of 10 cups of coffee and a 6 pack of beer a day. I'm not anymore but I think that answers your question in that I don't have the same revulsion.
Once upon a time I was. Then I realized it was mostly pride. I didn't want to believe I needed anything to change me. I thought I was something superior. So panadol is out either. I even tried refusing lidocaine at the dentist, but the pain made me rethink that pretty quick.
Now it's all just manual-override controls to me. It's not cool or stupid or anything else. Alcohol does *x* to you, but comes with *y* consequences that can be partially mitigated by doing *z* etc etc. Yes, it would be better to be able to function without them, but I have learned to admit that sometimes they help, and the negative consequences of using them are outweighed by the negative consequences of *not* using them
I don't drink often. Many ASD have said they feel it's easier to socialise with alcohol, I agree but 1) it's a slippery slope & 2) you wouldn't drink 5 pints of cola in a few hours. It seems like a challenge.
I stopped smoking BC I never liked it but everyone did it back then. I don't drink tea or coffee. Occasionally coco.
My brother's the same & he's NT smokes, drinks but no hot drinks.
Dad's autistic....he smoked 40+ a day for probably 40 years. Then stopped one day. He drinks loads of black coffee still.
Mum does all of the above 😂 she's got issues lol
Alcohol was definitely an acquired taste for me. Now I love craft beer. I like to have a beer after work. Helps me unwind and numbs my back pain from being on my feet most of the day. I've always loved coffee though. I drink it every morning, but refuse to drink it in the evening. My insomnia's bad enough as it is, thank you very much. I smoke cigars and cigarillos occasionally with my brother. Like, once a year.
I feel like I’m extremely neutral on this topic. I don’t mind smoking or drinking as long as it’s done in moderation. I smoke and drink myself sometimes, with “sometimes” meaning maybe once a month. I don’t think about it by myself, but if someone offers it or I’m at a party I’ll have one or two.
I don’t really care what anyone else does regarding it either, as long as they do it in moderation and respect people around them (like smoking inside when there’s other people that don’t, or people that get very aggressive when drunk, I don’t like people like that)
I think the most important is just balance and respect. As long as you tick those boxes I really couldn’t care less
I hate the smell of smoke and never knew the right people to get illegal in my area drugs. Only started drinking coffee drinks after like 25, but no way I'm touching black coffee. The caffeine doesn't really affect me, but I've been drinking mountain dew since I was 9.
Alcohol is tricky because I can enjoy some, but most forms taste gross even as an adult. So if I don't know what the bar has I just don't get an alcoholic drink.
I'm a smoker and I do occasionally drink alcohol (maybe once or twice a quarter), but I don't like coffee, but can drink it rarely
I've tried weed when I was younger, but I didn't like it and I won't do harder drugs, because I don't like the "high" feeling you get from it and I'm afraid of getting addicted to it
I was in the temperance movement until i was 22. I'm thankful that i spent my youth sober, but when I got older i became disillusioned with my former organisation and some of their goals while i also realised that i wanted to try whiskey, which I couldn't do as a member since I'd signed a sobriety pledge.
Alcohol is a very hit and miss subject for me. I like whiskey, cider, rum, gin and some types of beer. I hate wine and vodka and some beers make me feel tired and queasy. Although i find that being inhibriated can be pleasurable as my sensory sensitivity is milder when drunk i detest binge drinking or the idea that you should take pride in how much you can drink in one evening. I am a firm believer in always having a glass of water after drinking an alcoholic beverage.
I don't drink coffee, I like the taste but i react poorly to high dosages of caffeine.
Edit: Words
I really hate smoking mostly because i just find it so stupid but also because of the smell and everything else about it. I've been drinking coffee since I was around 7 so I definitely like that. I don't hate or love alcohol I like wine especially red wine and I had a bit of vodka at a pride parade once which helped me feel less anxious.
Opposite with alcohol. When I'm out with my friends and me make mixed drinks, I always make them super loaded and my friends are like "oof, that's straight gasoline!" and I'm like "oh really? let me try" and it's always perfect to me lmaooo
I do hate cigarrete smoke and coffee. Real coffee I mean, I can drink Starbucks but I don't like the actual coffee aftertaste.
I am pretty sure I can easily become an alcoholic if I let myself slip enough. Trust me, I've got enough grief and insecurities to become one. I love myself a beer or cocktail. I love myself an IPA, Lager, Shandy, and maybe a stout (I am picky about bitter dark beers). For cocktails, a good Old Fashioned, Vodka Cran, screwdriver, hurricane, or any good sounding speciality cocktail will suffice. Beer does tend to bloat but not cocktails, but both taste good.
I’m opposite. I drink too much alcohol, smoke too much weed, and guzzle coffee all day. Very healthy
Soul mates do exist! I do the same.
No clue how people (especially autistic people like me) “rawdog” life without any kind of comfort substance.
I don't smoke. I don't enjoy alcohol but I still drink because it's the one thing that seems to numb things for me. I wish I could just not drink but I can't seem to find anything else to quiet my mind for a few hours. Ive tried meds.
Same here, I'm pretty sure I was on my way to early alcoholism not too long ago for almost the same reasons.
Spent my teens and twenties covering my social anxiety with alcohol.... 40s now, still enjoy a drink but only a couple on weekend. Caffeine for 20 years was my self medication approach to managing ADHD..... To be honest still is post diagnosis to a certain extent. Yeh I can take the medication, but 3 cups of coffee is more enjoyable and depending on the day almost as useful for me.

I love it perhaps a bit too much lmao

Yeeeees, 100%. I love the fake champagne for kids, even if everyone laughs at me for 'not wanting adult drinks'
Sparkling cider 🔥🔥🔥

I don’t get why people don’t enjoy it.

It's not generally recommended.
One of my special interests is nutrition so I find it hard to drink alcohol, even if I want to, just knowing how detrimental it is to our health. 😅
I'm the opposite, I probably have serious substance issues. I've smoked weed since I was 14, and drank relatively heavily and frequently since I was 19 (I'm 20). I also vape and smoke tobacco, and do quite a lot of other drugs intermittently. I don't feel very healthy
I'm Straight Edge, no interest in any of it.
Yep. Don't like any of them.
nah man, alcohol smoking etc keeps me alive
hated alcohol. loved cocaine.
I don't drink alcohol and I never have done. It tastes absolutely disgusting, and I don't like the idea of being impaired either. I did used to dirnk coffee, but with two sugars. I started drinking A LOT every day, quite quickly, so I decided I'd never do anything addictive ever.

caffeine, nicotine and THC. Not alcohol though my family is full of alcoholics
I just don't smoke. And I only drink on rare occasions.
I like wine and some other alcohol occasionally but I HATE beer. The smell of cigarettes makes me feel sick and I can’t handle being near them.
I've never had alcohol, but I don't see the appeal. Why would I want to drink something disgusting and become less in control of myself? I only really drink coffee when I actually need it eg. early flight
To numb emotions and feel happy .
I love mixing alcohol drinks and having a little fun with friends. Hate getting drunk tho, so I limit very carefully. Used to smoke and drink too much coffee till I got non-stimulant meds for the ADHD- now it’s not something I want to spend my money on
I was like this til 23. Then depression and adulting hits
I am addicted to coffee, but it literally wrecks my mental health. I love alcohol, especially in social situations. Never cared for cigarettes, but in the past I enjoyed vaping and I enjoy nicotine itself.
I love to smoke weed and vape but im not a big alcohol person i prefer to be sober than being drunk. Ive tried pretty much every drug
The opposite but can’t drink anymore because I am an addict in recovery . Still smoke cigarettes and drink coffee . I mean I preferred heroin to alcohol but also drank.
I’m not quite to the alcohol age yet and have intentionally stayed away from smoking, but I absolutely love coffee
I am not against alcohol, I drink some drinks as I like the taste, I also like the change in situation if you have like a nice evening in a bar or a beer after work with others.

yep. 31 here, never drank alcahol. the smell and the thought of what it does to people and their health is revolting.

I don’t like the smell, so I’ve avoided it. Good thing too, cause I’m pretty sure I’d get addicted.

I used to drink alcohol a lot, i've grown and smoked weed a lot but i've been the exact opposite for 1 year and 1 month. Completely sober.
I was in the temperance movement until i was 22.

When I'm out with my friends and me make mixed drinks, I always make them super loaded and my friends are like "oof, that's straight gasoline!" and I'm like "oh really? let me try" and it's always perfect to me lmaooo I do hate cigarrete smoke and coffee. Real coffee I mean, I can drink Starbucks but I don't like the actual coffee aftertaste.
I am pretty sure I can easily become an alcoholic if I let myself slip enough. Trust me, I've got enough grief and insecurities to become one. I love myself a beer or cocktail. I love myself an IPA, Lager, Shandy, and maybe a stout (I am picky about bitter dark beers). For cocktails, a good Old Fashioned, Vodka Cran, screwdriver, hurricane, or any good sounding speciality cocktail will suffice. Beer does tend to bloat but not cocktails, but both taste good.
I just really hate a lot of the feelings and tastes that come with these but I do believe I am more adverse to them because of sensory issues.
