Among many reasons he enumerates: religion, self-control, health, etc. But religion is not the main reason; he thinks that nobody can really punish him if he was a alcohol maniac, is all about simply not to like alcohol.
A recent fact related to this topic and one of the reason of this article is that London Metropolitan University proposed the introduction of an "alcohol-free zone". The writer thinks that there is a drink culture in universities and it could be a problem with "teetotal freshers".
Teetotals would feel segregated from the alcoholic ones for many reasons: First, the non-abstent group seems to think that teetotals are silently judging them all the time and that creates tension.
Teetotals, also, feel like they have to find a way to fit or to have a social life for their own, without any help, so the writer thinks that the "alcohol-free zone" could be an aim to those who not like alcohol. He says that it's all about an individual's right to choice, even when probably the other freshers could leave you apart from the university life.
But according to the writer's opinion it won't happen.
Up to them.

ResponderEliminarYoungsters become alcoholic because alcoholism is been socially accepted, and is nowadays considered as something cool. If you don't drink you are 'boring', what a balderdash.
