Reneka Sampson same, im only 19, but that sip of champagne during every New Years makes alcohol seem very disgusting. Plus, i would like to remember everything that happens
It's perfectly cool not to drink. It's great she doesn't give in to peer pressure like so many others who dislike it. But it's not 'cause someone doesn't drink that makes them better or superior. Each to their own.
I really appreciate how honest you are about not drinking and liking it because I can't stand any alcohol and have no idea about any drinks and it seems like society is obsessed with it (especially uni in the U.K. 😩)!Much love ❤️
I've always had this theory that the word "smut" was derived from the German word "Schmutz" which means dirt. So a smutty story would mean a "dirty" story. And that is a term that is used for explicit themes, so... But idk if I'm right.
Also, the not drinking at a college party tip is legit. I spent my first semester of college in London, and one time I went to a bar in Bath and wasn't drinking bc I am also a control freak and a hot Irish guy approached me and would not stop asking why I wasn't drinking. Needless to say he stopped being hot real quick and just became annoying and slightly creepy.
Thank you for making me not feel so weird for not liking to drink!!! I always feel so judged!! Also on every spring break I was so sleep deprived from midterms I did nothing but sleep and lay around in my pajamas all week lol
OMG yes! As someone who doesn't drink, at a party literally everyone will keep asking if you want a drink, and then when you tell them you don't drink,there is always that moment of awkwardness where they don't know how to respond😒
Oh my gosh I haven't watched your videos in a couple of months and NOW I know what's been missing from my life!!! I need to binge-watch them all right now haha
This is awesome! I was laughing so hard at your confusion over what each alcoholic drink was because I'm the same way. I don't drink much and I know very little about alcohol. When I was at my cousin's wedding getting a wine, I made my sister in law pick what I was getting because I had no idea what I was talking about. This was such a fun tag with all the stories mixed in with the tag. :D
That betrayed "THERE'S NO ICED TEA IN THAT" was amazing. Also this video is super relatable because I hate the taste of 99% of all alcohols and having more than one drink makes me feel weird and I am not about it.
I loved this because I like wine, but I don't like overdoing alcohol or partying. I would rather much just chill and drink coffee. So you have become even more relatable and awesome than you already were
I just want to say thank you, it's always nice to find someone else (a book lover or not) who doesn't drink. They're so hard to find, especially at university as you probably know.
Hi Christine, I want to say that I really appreciate that you don't drink and tell us why. If I look at the people around me, the majority likes to drink and party and that's totally fine. But at a point where I say/mention/it's clear that I don't really like to drink and party, I get weird faces and comments. People don't understand that it's fine either way, if you like to party/drink or not, it's up to you. And hallelujah for your guilty pleasure reads answer! Although I also feel somewhat guilty when rereading when I see my enormous TBR pile. But then I remember that my books don't have an expiration date and I can read them whenever I feel like it.
Thanks Christine, the tip about being at parties in college will come in handy for me. I recently turned the drinking age and I'm in uni, and I'm not interested what-so-ever with drinking, all for the same reasons you listed. It's great to see somebody I relate to so much become even more inspiring for me. Not that I would judge if you did drink. It's just nice that you stick your ground. And lasted through college with similar aspirations. TL;DR: Christine is my fave.
Always felt like you were a best friend because of all your booktalk videos - all the books you liked, I ended up liking too! Then I learnt you were a Ravenclaw and I was sorted there too... then we both got Pukwudgie for the Ilvermorny quiz and that weirded me out a bit haha! Now you say you don't enjoy drinking and I don't either. *O_O*
Honestly I don't like drinking either. I'm glad it's not just me. My spring break also consists of going to Disney World and hanging out with friends. I'm just as clueless with drinks as you are! Love the tag Christine!
Is it bad when I clicked the video and started watching I was "oh she's already drunk" And then I was like "oh wait it's just normal Christine" a second later.
I had to google smut it came back with "Smutty". So it comes from "pure-hearted farmers". They called smut the mold that grows on corn ears according to the google universe it just means dirt or dirty. I love my smutty smut smut! I seriously think that everyone needs a little bit of smuttiness in their lives!!!
So true about non-drinkers and even if you DO drink, but stop drinking before your friend stops, she looks at you like WTF WHY ARE YOU STOPPING!?!? Or maybe that's just my friend.
I don't drink alcohol either, high five to you Christine! It's nice to meet someone who doesn't drink alcohol either. I thought I was the only one thinking of urine when I see beer.
A beer bong is a device composed of a funnel attached to a tube used to facilitate the rapid consumption of beer. The use of a beer bong is also known as funneling.
i googled where the word smut came from and apparentlyyyyy: "The word smutty came from pure-hearted farmers. Really. Smut is the name of a mold that grows in corn ears. The mold breaks off into fine dirt-like powder when the corn is shucked. Therefore the word smut became synonymous with dirt, or dirty."
I love Breaking Dawn so much!!! It’s my favourite book in the Twilight Saga. I liked how the wasn’t a massive fight scene because it meant none of my favourite characters died and I liked how Edward and Bella got their happily ever after literally.
its really nice to see someone else who doesnt drink! ive never actually had a full drink of alcohol (only sips here and there, all of them gross) only one i was even interested in trying was Honey Mead, and sadly (at least i thought so) i didnt like it, i SO wanted to like it
Omg I don't know if you have seen Schitt's Creek. It's on Netflix in Australia. But you sounded exactly like Alexis when you said "what a stupid construct that society has set for us." Such a funny show!!
CHRISTINE drunk is the same as sober except even less good at making conversation cuz she can't think good and is panic-ing about whether or not she's dying XD
Also, whenever I see the Polish edition of The Call in Christine's videos, I'm like I MADE HER BUY THIS (cause I tweeted her and Kat and Jesse about it) XD
LOL I tallied my copy of Deathly Hallows like you tallied Breaking Dawn...but I read that literally 25 times between ages 9 and like 13. I want to be ashamed of that, but I'm a little proud of little Emma
this made me feel a lot better about not drinking. as a junior in college i get some weird looks when i say i don't like to drink, but like i just don't really like the taste. btw i think this is one of your funniest videos lol, the whole smut thing had me dying
I loved the fact that I'm not the only person who feels awkward at parties because I don't drink. I will totally be taking that advice about grabbing a cup and filling it with water, or soda.
This Is too relatable. I drink, but I don't do it excessively. I go to a quiz night once a week and I'll have maybe two to three very small glasses of cider along with a crap load of food. And I've had the whole "why aren't you drinking" thing as well! Or you'll say no, they'll be like "okay one for you" and it'll just sit there because you DONT. WANT. IT.
Totally feel the need to be in control/anxiety thing. I don't even want to be around drunk people bc they become more unpredictable xD this video was really fun and entertaining btw
Two things! One smut comes for the German for defile, corrupt our make obscene. Two I also don't drink but when I go out to a place where having a cocktail in hand is advised I go for a cranberry and soda. Tasty and no weird looks.
It's totally cool you don't drink. I was at a uni party once and literally had the same glass of wine the entire night because I'm not really a drinker and ended up taking a friend home because I was still sober while she was super drink. My drink of choice is wine too.
Fellow non drinker here! I drink on the odd occasion but I'm not a huge fan and people are always trying to get me to drink if they see me without one. It's so annoying!!
Fun video! I don't drink much either, except for the extremely rare glass of wine, so it was nice to hear from someone else who is like me in that area. Thanks for the video!
This might be weird, but I really appreciated this video. I don't drink for the same reasons as you (and frankly I don't really have a desire) but people constantly try to make me drink (would like to point out Im only 19) and I feel like they look down on me like I'm less mature because of it, so it's really nice to see an adult I admire be confident in her choice not to drink, just because it's not her thing. Thanks Christine! Love you! (Also this video was so funny!)
The not drinking pressure definitely still happens as an adult it's ridiculous! I actually do drink, but on the few occasions that I don't feel like it then I always pull the water in a red solo cup trick, and I'm 26 so like WHY DO PEOPLE CARE WHAT I'M DRINKING?!
I'm exactly the same with the Heir. I couldn't get pass like page 20 or something. I know I should finish it, but... I also got through the Elite sooo quickly.
i really appreciate that you don't like to drink. A new side of Christine that makes her even better than she already is *applause*
Cas S. YESS!!! Me too . I mean I'm only thirteen but I don't plan on drinking ever
Reneka Sampson same, im only 19, but that sip of champagne during every New Years makes alcohol seem very disgusting. Plus, i would like to remember everything that happens
It's perfectly cool not to drink. It's great she doesn't give in to peer pressure like so many others who dislike it. But it's not 'cause someone doesn't drink that makes them better or superior. Each to their own.
Cas S. Drinking is kind of a taboo here, or taboo to me, so I would NEVER drink alcohol
There's a difference between getting drunk and drinking. You don't need to get drunk in order to have fun drinking.
TEQUILA IS MY FAVORITE!!! How can we have such opposing opinions???
I was really hoping Christine would be doing this tag drunk but that is NOT the case lmao
charlotte Dorey S A M E
charlotte Dorey ikr
I love your icon!
charlotte Dorey HAMFAM!!!!!!!!!
LMAO THIS WAS SO FUNNY EVERYTIME YOU HAD TO GOOGLE SOMETHING I WAS DYING
Christine uploaded..... DROP EVERYTHING
EmgBooks exactly, I dropped my baby to watch this
EmgBooks drop everything in the poring rain
EmgBooks NOW, MEET ME IN THE POURING RAIN... TAYLOR SWIFT IS COMING- SOON SHE'S BACK AGAIN!! Sorry. I'm just a little excited.
LifeInMyBook SAME
Katie H lmao I can't stop SHOUTING with excitement 😂
I clicked on this video thinking that it was going to be a drunk Christine talking about writing. The book tag made more sense.
I really appreciate how honest you are about not drinking and liking it because I can't stand any alcohol and have no idea about any drinks and it seems like society is obsessed with it (especially uni in the U.K. 😩)!Much love ❤️
I've always had this theory that the word "smut" was derived from the German word "Schmutz" which means dirt. So a smutty story would mean a "dirty" story. And that is a term that is used for explicit themes, so... But idk if I'm right.
ah that makes sense!!
"The Crown" is pretty good. How she ends up with will surprise you and what character development does a 180 from "The Heir".
This should be titled "books and booze"
.....gold star for you that's a brilliant idea.
Lauren 10 points for griffindor 👏🏼😂
SEXY TIMES. STIMES! NEW WORD!
Christine you're so funny at the shiver part that REALLY couldn't hold my laugh
Nadi Dodi
I didn't understand the other book she reference ( it was in a mumbles) do you know what book she said
The Maze Runner
Nadi Dodi
GASP!!!!
This whole video is hilariously ironic.
A video about drinking, from a girl who doesn't drink. lol.
A beer bong is like a funnel with a tube attached to it that you drink while people pour best I. The top
I stop watching my current video to watch this!
I've been waiting for her shadowhunters review!! How about you?
This video is like a casual chat about Christine's awkward experiences with alcohol .. I could watch this all day
I love how you have to look up what the drinks are before you do the book tag. Definitely makes this a lot more fun
Weird.... I imagined Christine as the outgoing party girl who drinks all the time..... guess I was wrong lol
Ps. Ily
LOL I AM SO NOT AT ALL XD
polandbananasBOOKS OMG YOU REPLIED!!! I love your videos, I think you're really cool. :)
I feel like you filmed this sober, but edited this drunk. Those effects had me dying. 😂😂
Only Christine would do the Drunk Book tag when she doesn't drink alcohol. I LOVE HER
"Maggie Styvefghrr" - alrighty!
books by leynes 😹😹😹😹😹
Also, the not drinking at a college party tip is legit. I spent my first semester of college in London, and one time I went to a bar in Bath and wasn't drinking bc I am also a control freak and a hot Irish guy approached me and would not stop asking why I wasn't drinking. Needless to say he stopped being hot real quick and just became annoying and slightly creepy.
Thank you for making me not feel so weird for not liking to drink!!! I always feel so judged!! Also on every spring break I was so sleep deprived from midterms I did nothing but sleep and lay around in my pajamas all week lol
OMG yes! As someone who doesn't drink, at a party literally everyone will keep asking if you want a drink, and then when you tell them you don't drink,there is always that moment of awkwardness where they don't know how to respond😒
i thought wine coolers were places you store your wine (you can tell i'm underage😂😂)
I relate to the non-drinking SO much. Also, I very much appreciate your subtle reference to Friends every time you said 'spring break'.
At last! Someone who doesn't drink! 😂 It can be so hard to find people who don't drink now
I'm in college and I don't like drinking, the pressure to drink/ invisibility cloak whenever someone realizes you don't drink, is just so legit lol
Oh my gosh I haven't watched your videos in a couple of months and NOW I know what's been missing from my life!!! I need to binge-watch them all right now haha
literally when you said that you're mistaken for being drunk but don't drink bc you're a control freak i was like THATS LITERALLY ME
This is awesome! I was laughing so hard at your confusion over what each alcoholic drink was because I'm the same way. I don't drink much and I know very little about alcohol.

This entire book talk is exactly why she is my favorite thing.
When you started talking about spring break, I remembered Ross from Friends on a spring break with Elizabeth. And then the laughing has begone.
I loved this because I like wine, but I don't like overdoing alcohol or partying. I would rather much just chill and drink coffee. So you have become even more relatable and awesome than you already were
I just want to say thank you, it's always nice to find someone else (a book lover or not) who doesn't drink. They're so hard to find, especially at university as you probably know.

And hallelujah for your guilty pleasure reads answer! Although I also feel somewhat guilty when rereading when I see my enormous TBR pile. But then I remember that my books don't have an expiration date and I can read them whenever I feel like it.
I lost it when you kept saying "smut" 💀💀

Two Kiera Cass books in the DRUNK book tag? Coincidence? I think not😏 Probably the only way to survive them all🙃
Honestly I don't like drinking either. I'm glad it's not just me. My spring break also consists of going to Disney World and hanging out with friends. I'm just as clueless with drinks as you are! Love the tag Christine!
Christine!! Please do more book tags. I friggin love them and you
omg christine..its like really reassuring to hear your perspective on drinking bc I feel the SAME way like I have WAYYY to much anxiety to drink haha
Love hearing about other people who don't drink. I don't drink as well and people are giving me weird looks when I say that.
Is it bad when I clicked the video and started watching I was "oh she's already drunk" And then I was like "oh wait it's just normal Christine" a second later.

I RELATE TO U SOOO MUCH...PPL SAY THAT EITHER IM DRUNK OR HIGH ON DRUGS ALL THE FREAKING TIME....LIKE NO THIS IS MY NORMAL SELF, I HARDLY DRINK 😂😭❤️
I literally dropped everything just to watch this ❤️️ ~ love you Christine!
I was honestly just watching one of your old videos when you posted this💜
So many flashbacks! I love it!

"...but I taped it all together. LIKE A BOSS!"
Hahaha! That had me LOL-ing. =D (wiping tears of laughter away).
I loved the scandal parts lol this video made me laugh out loud 😂
One of the funniest faces people make is when they offer me a drink and I say "No thanks, I'm good." They just CaNNOt ComPREhEnd.
its really nice to see someone else who doesnt drink! ive never actually had a full drink of alcohol (only sips here and there, all of them gross) only one i was even interested in trying was Honey Mead, and sadly (at least i thought so) i didnt like it, i SO wanted to like it
Omg I don't know if you have seen Schitt's Creek. It's on Netflix in Australia. But you sounded exactly like Alexis when you said "what a stupid construct that society has set for us." Such a funny show!!
But like Christine drunk would be SO FUNNY
CHRISTINE drunk is the same as sober except even less good at making conversation cuz she can't think good and is panic-ing about whether or not she's dying XD
polandbananasBOOKS aka SO FUNNY
Also, whenever I see the Polish edition of The Call in Christine's videos, I'm like I MADE HER BUY THIS

XD
LOL I tallied my copy of Deathly Hallows like you tallied Breaking Dawn...but I read that literally 25 times between ages 9 and like 13. I want to be ashamed of that, but I'm a little proud of little Emma
When Christine thinks about lemon or lime with every alcoholic drink 😂😂😂😂
this made me feel a lot better about not drinking. as a junior in college i get some weird looks when i say i don't like to drink, but like i just don't really like the taste. btw i think this is one of your funniest videos lol, the whole smut thing had me dying
I don't know how you pick your makeup look for every video, but I am always obsessed with it; I want to wear this makeup look out in my usual day 😂
OMG, I just fell way more in love with your channel
In terms of being a control freak and drinking, we are the SAME lmaoooo
I have the same hang ups about the selection.
I bought like ten books this month and haven't found any time to read any of them😭
Eimear Cullen give them too me😂😂😀😀😂
I loved the fact that I'm not the only person who feels awkward at parties because I don't drink. I will totally be taking that advice about grabbing a cup and filling it with water, or soda.
those party tips are so smart! love you so much. thanks for another great vid that undoubtedly made me smile! xx
omg I thought she was gonna do the whole tag drunk before I watched it and I was like "bUT SHE DOESN'T DRINK"
I feel this on a deep spiritual level... also, ACOMAF was the first book I thought of for “spring break” because it does have the perfect amount 😊
This was super relatable, and also a lesson on cocktails.
“Sexual Mutterings” 😂😂😂 HAHAHHAHA!!! I literally laughed for 5 WHOLE minutes. Hahahhahsh I’m cackling.
Omg that alcohol/Selection analogy is so accurate
So glad to find someone who has similar beliefs to me when it comes to drinking
This Is too relatable. I drink, but I don't do it excessively. I go to a quiz night once a week and I'll have maybe two to three very small glasses of cider along with a crap load of food. And I've had the whole "why aren't you drinking" thing as well! Or you'll say no, they'll be like "okay one for you" and it'll just sit there because you DONT. WANT. IT.

I just love you so much Christine, you always make my day so much better
Read responsibly!
I love you Christine! You're my favorite booktuber!
thank you
Two things! One smut comes for the German for defile, corrupt our make obscene.
Two I also don't drink but when I go out to a place where having a cocktail in hand is advised I go for a cranberry and soda. Tasty and no weird looks.
Blessed with a booktag of 14 minutes long. Thanks Christine =D

DROPPED EVERYTHING FOR THIS WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION YESSS I LIVE FOR CHRISTINES VIDEOS
"That smut be glorious."
- Christine Riccio, 2017
Fun video! I don't drink much either, except for the extremely rare glass of wine, so it was nice to hear from someone else who is like me in that area. Thanks for the video!
I like the fact that Christine was so funny and ''informative' about the drinks, because girl here doesnt drink 😂😂😂
This might be weird, but I really appreciated this video. I don't drink for the same reasons as you (and frankly I don't really have a desire) but people constantly try to make me drink (would like to point out Im only 19) and I feel like they look down on me like I'm less mature because of it, so it's really nice to see an adult I admire be confident in her choice not to drink, just because it's not her thing.

Omg Christine 😂 I think this is the funniest video you've ever posted, I couldn't stop laughing!
Refreshing to hear your views on this, especially as I am in college and notice much of the same! Fun video :) I like that you did a tag again!
