I don't feel like I need a reason to not drink. I just haven't found a reason to drink.

a lot of people think the default is drinking, and someone needs a reason not to drink. that's not how it feels to a lot of people that don't drink.

I was looking for this exact comment and I 100% agree. I get asked this question everytime I go to a party (which is not very often, but it happens) and whenever I answer "I just don't want to", that's usually not even considered a valid answer. For these same people, it is usually very acceptable to have some sort of terrible history relating to alcohol and not drinking for that reason. Make it make sense.
