Any other quiet, non-drinkers going to be on board?

by **Bassman2112** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 5:06 pm

It's been a ton of months since I've last posted/logged in, but I'm definitely getting really amped about escaping the snow & work for a week and seeing a ton of killer bands.

For myself, though - I have never been a drinker (though I've drank lightly in the past, I just don't get the appeal of drunkenness and don't drink at all anymore), never been the destructive/aggressive type and am fairly soft-spoken. Hopefully there'll be some like-minded people on board, or on the boards haha. Even if there aren't any, I'm just looking forward to meeting a ton of people from far and wide =)

Also, hopefully you guys won't be too harsh on us little quiet guys haha.

wow, i will let my partner in crime metalwrath chime in on that one.

if i did not drink I would enjoy watching people get drunk and make a fool out of themselves and I DO drink and my motto is always "To Each Their Own"

I was going to post that I'm currently not drinking, then I realized you said quiet and non-aggressive. Nevermind, that still leaves me out.

I drink, and I talk a lot, but if you don't, cheers!

Me too, I am 6 foot 3 and tell "tall tales" while drinking. :)

I am loud and abrasive and have a really loud laugh and voice.

My wife is quiet but not a non drinker. Sue probably won't be watching many of the bands, as she is more hard rock than metal.
Saxon and Raven she will watch.

Yep, me too. With all the power metal bands, trust me, for all of YOUR sake, it's a good thing I'm not drinking. I shoot my mouth off pretty loudly enough as it is sober. Heh!

(I can just see myself in a huge drunken rant over this, hence the example.)

I'm not really a drinker although I might have one or two at some point, I'm definetly not a loud person either and at shows I usually prefer to hang in the back, relax and enjoy the music.

It's sooooo hard to quit! Now that I have my new job there is not as much reason to drink. Ron and I are thinking about quitting after the cruise. Although I do love a glass of fine wine with good food, so maybe just cutting back would be the best way to go.

However, drinking does make everything a little more fun!!!

I just got out of the hair salon where they serve me wine as they do my hair. So nice!

Oh yay! Yet another funny 70k thread! For the record - I can be quite loud (husband has dubbed my entire family "the loud family"

I am also an incessant talker (hubby and kids have learned to "tune me out" when necessary - especially at 7:00 am when I've already had FAR too much coffee.

,...oh, and I love to drink lots of beer (but definitely NOT to the point of "out to lunch" oblivion.

Our quiet men (yours, Red's and mine) and us loud, boisterous women should be a hoot!

Carrie! Can't wait - i'll be on da plane in a little more than 7 days!

dammit, I wish you were kind of because I would have PAID good money to see that.

I knew who you were when you drank and saw you at death metal shows, SYL, Cannibal corpse and shit but did not know you.

I'm not saying I don't miss it... especially at shows. Infact that's really the only time I do miss it. The whole 'lubing up for the pit' thing...

Oh good god - NO! (this is my once-a-year "laurathelibrariangoeswildsansfamilytrip")

Like Wacken 2009 (been there, done that)
Wacken 2010 (been there, done that)
70K Metal Cruise 2011 (doing that in 9 days!)
Metalcamp 2012
Hole in the Sky 2013
(well - the last few are my plan at least)

i fall into the category too...LOL i have a pretty quiet man unless he has a lot to drink, then he's a motormouth.

by **TOM CRUISE** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 8:38 pm

Haha from now on it´s my favourite word, so if you hear someone ranting "motormouth" , it´s only me

by **FutileEternity** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 12:18 am

Myself and my fiance are non-drinkers and aren't all that boisterous, so you won't be alone! Although I believe everybody is going to have a good time, drinker or otherwise. You'll be fine. :)

by **strange** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 2:52 am

I'm not planning on drinking much, plus I'm socially awkward which usually equates to being quiet. I'm sure there'll be a bunch of people who aren't posting on the forums who'll be like-minded also.
Even if you don't drink you'll probably be feeling a bit drunk just from the high of seeing all those bands.

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 3:43 am

If i did not intend to get wasted on this cruise and causing mayhem then i would not even have bothered booking this cruise.
Festival without getting drunk is a serious fail.
As far as i'm cocerned seeing the bands is a bonus and not a neccasity

I'm the same, but that's one of the reasons why I drink. I'm much more talkative and friendly with a bunch of beers in me.

Fine by me....everybody enjoys it in his or her own way. I'm also a quiet soft type. But I do drink from time to time (which will make me a bit more talkative). But responsible...especially on sunny and warm festivals. I don't mind if people don't drink...as long as they are cool that I'm having one. My festivalbuddy/cabinmate is a nondrinker...so you'rr definately not the only one.

by **bangers** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 6:53 am

I wouldn't worry too much, we will all be respectful (mostly) of ur decision and you can have a laugh on us.

I drink because I love the taste of beer and scotch , getting drunk is just a bonus.

by **DrAmygdala** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 7:32 am

I don't drink, except for wine on rare occasions (but doubt I'll drink on the cruise due to prices). And a lot of people that don't know me always say I'm so quiet, but my friends say I never shut up...

It is hard to get a word in when others are talking loud and non stop.

by **teresamarx** » Sun Jan 16, 2011 8:35 am

there will be at least ONE person remembering the whole cruise !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's one of the good points about being sober , always knowing where you've been , what you've done and with WHO !!!

I actually quite enjoy piecing together the previous night with the stories and rumors circulating along with whatever strange pictures I find on my camera. It brings out the detective in all of us. I'm a regular Sherlock Holmes at this stage
