Is it normal to hate drinking?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal to dislike drinking alcohol. You don’t need to enjoy it—or drink it at all—to fit in.

Lots of people dislike the taste, the way alcohol makes them feel, or the social scene around drinking. Some people simply aren’t interested, and others stop enjoying it over time; none of that is weird.

You’re allowed to say no without giving a big explanation. If you want, order something nonalcoholic and let the conversation move on—your drink doesn’t need to be a group decision.
