I'm 24, I don't drink and I never have, it was never something that interested me in the slightest, and I don't see the point in wasting money on alcohol. Saying that, I do feel excluded by others, I have next to no friends, none that I would consider proper friends any way. It's all people seem to do and if you don't you're labeled as boring and unfun. Quite frankly I hate that obnoxiously loud music, cramped spacing, ridiculous pricing, and drunken foolery.
The dog twirling on the bed COMPLETELY overshadowed your for the first bit of the vid!! Go Coileán!! Depression with a hangover must be one of the scariest things ever. At the same time it must be hard to be out socialising with others getting drunk and not joining in yourself. Power to you!
Great video Rosemary. I think a lot of people in Ireland feel pressure to drink in order to feel included in festivities. It's bloody great to be able to just do what you want to do. I can absolutely take or leave drink. I do drink but not even once a month. Maybe not even every two months a lot of the time. I went to a 30th on Saturday night and had a few but after 10pm I just didn't think of it. Didn't enter my head. I was too busy talking to everyone and dancing. Food for thought for sure!
I have horrifying hangovers . I have terrible feeling of guilt that last for days and days after drinking . This why I rarely drink . I should quit whatsoever . Really I feel suicidal when I have hangovers .
Agree about Ireland and not drinking, you are viewed with utter suspicion and contempt, tried it recently and it was hell! cue an early exit. Suffer with anxiety/depression myself and have got into yoga/meditation to try and combat it thou the temptation to drink is never far away. I have came to the conclusion that any mental health sufferers should just stay away from alcohol/drugs, smoked weed for many years and used to wonder if it caused my panic but the problem in hindsight was myself and my mind going haywire! same as a hangover, completely get what you said about the days after and the mad overthinking as if the world is against you and self esteem at all time low. The idea of never drinking again seems quite boring but at 32 I am getting to the point of 'enough is enough'.
I drank and quit, drank and quit. It's a love hate relationship. If I get mean? Then I get empathetic and feel terrible, which hasn't happened for years. But, I think, too much of anything is bad. Too little of something is bad. So, just be casual.. it's a battle 😉
love this, i dont drink never was a big drinker and noticed when i do drink i become a aggressive mess and sit in the corner ready to attack anybody who comes near me ao therefore I dont drink, i do however go out the whole time, go for drinks in the pub, and i am much more fun with no drink than drink in me.. i honestly feel if i still drank right now id have NO friends and I suffered from anxiety and no that when i get hangovers its anxiety 101!! i guess drink affects every1 differently love your videos so much there so honest! x
I’m exactly like you with the depression and alcohol. I keep trying to give up booze but I keep crumbling to social pressure when I’m out, then i have the rattles for a week
I live in Wisconsin, US and it is similar for those of us who don't drink. I stopped drinking in a similar way. Just looked around one night at the pub and thought, hmm I'm done with this. Thanks for sharing!!
You were fine too :P No, I love your videos, snapchat and honesty :) Coileán reminds me of my own little bossy fur baby :) You can't help but let them rule the roost!!
Its so true if you do not drink, people will be paranoid that you are judging you! I hate that and then they will say something like 'ah you are so good' I drink occasionally and totally relate to this! and please more Coilean in the videos :-)
Loved this! You're gas altogether. I feel you on the 'I don't even drink fizzy drinks anymore because I'm that boring" :P I gave up fizzy drinks and sweets and all that shite a year ago and feel so much better. Contemplating ditching the savignon blanc too
Ah thanks so much Sarah! I don't think living alcohol-free is for everyone, especially in Ireland where, a lot of the time, it's just more fun to drink! But fizzy drinks are evil.
Great video from a fellow non-drinker! For me, I've never liked the taste; never liked the feeling of not having all of my senses about me; couldn't stand the way it hurt/cramped my stomach & made me have to pee constantly! So no more - not since college...AGES ago! HEY Coileán!!! You sweet, twirly-thang! Luv.
Hi Sarah, I might do that BUT I think my technical know-how might be a bit limiting; I wouldn't be sure how to add in the screen bits! But I'll ask a friend to help me :D It's not complex AT ALL, but I think that for Depop to work you have to be able to boost your profile, which is tough!

To be honest, drinkers have even less friends than you. I used to be one, so I know. Good for you.
Join a club mate 😎😄...weight lifting, boxing, athletics, game society, chess club...great for socialising

Ha ha! She's so gas! No matter WHAT I do, she won't either p*ss off or just stay still!

I hear you. I feel the same.

Thanks for the video baby girl! The worst part of being sober is OTHER ppl. F*ck em! They're not really for you.
Love your personality!

You're more than welcome Wendy, thank you so much for watching - and for commenting!
Love the way Coileán just appears

You might need to buy a new cover for your bed now as the dog wore a hole in it, lol. Sweet dog 😀

Really enjoy your videos, snaps, posts. I was wondering could you do a small video on how to get started on depop maybe?
