Inspired by another question on this community about “the first time you drank alcohol”, so I was just feeling like I’m the odd one out here.
I personally have never smoked (neither tobacco nor weed), never drank any alcohol. (Parents also don’t do smoking, or drinking, or gambling so I kinda got lucky with the environment I grew up in, I guess…) Is that unusual? Gen Z btw.
Tobacco, no. I was on a construction crew one summer, everyone else chain smoked, I didn’t, then I went off to college and a week later couldn’t figure out why I was craving the smell of cigarettes. That was a rough semester.
Alcohol, 2-3 units/drinks a month. A glass of wine with the week’s fancy meal, maybe but that’s about it.
Cannabis, wake and bake. I use it medically, but could probably cut back a little. Not much tho, it manages a life threatening condition well enough my case got put into the literature.
The cult I grew up in was straight edge without all the ethics, so like even coffee was a big deal when I got free of that one
