Another great and insightful post here Scott.

I’m a non-drinker too. Coming from NZ, we’ve a very similar drinking culture to Oz so I can definitely identify with what you’re saying you’ve experienced growing up in country Victoria.

My non-drinking stems from just not enjoying it, I don’t like the taste of alcoholic drinks and over time I find I just don’t miss it plus I definitely agree with you, there’s lots more time for creating when you’re not feeling gross from the night before :)
