BIRMINGHAM, England, February 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

What do David Beckham, Denzel Washington, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Donald Trump and Tom Cruise all have in common?

They all abstain from the drinking of alcohol and taking of non-prescriptive drugs!

These are just some of the famous celebrities proud to admit to not using alcohol and drugs. Others include reformed drinkers and lifestyle brand personalities Samuel L Jackson, Elton John, Shania Twain, Bruce Willis, Eric Clapton, Jim Carrey, Leona Lewis and Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter).

The problem today is that many young people are pressured into taking drink and drugs by their peers and feel it is normal and expected in modern society.

Until now, there was no generally accepted place outside of religious organisations and teetotal groups for individuals who simply prefer not to consume drink and drugs; nowhere for individuals wishing to be part of an openly supported, accepted and respected like-minded, non-drinking, non-drug-taking community.

Well now there is! "Abstainers International" or simply "Abstainers.org" is a new membership network for people who abstain from alcohol and non-prescriptive drugs!

Membership of Abstainers is open to all people who are proud and committed to no drink or drugs in their lives.  Membership is for all age groups, ethnicity, class, colour and origin! It is not a religious-based organisation or directed towards any particular ethnic group. Membership is for everyone.

Abstainers International is identified by a 0% logo. This symbol represents the 0% drink and 0% drugs lifestyle choice and members are encouraged to wear the 0% pin, to be recognised as an Abstainer and give encouragement and support to other Abstainers.

When you join Abstainers.org, you will receive a free Certificate of Membership and Abstainers 0% Logo Lapel Pin. Pins are available in different metal finishes including solid silver and gold.

Members will find information about abstainers online and can use the Abstainers Network to interact with other members, create and join events, groups, promote places of interest and share ideas for days/nights out. Members can recommend relevant products and services and promote activities within the ethos of Abstainers.

It is now more acceptable than ever before to declare yourself an Abstainer. The World has new challenges and prospects for those wanting to express themselves as 'cool', with a lifestyle choice they are not afraid to declare.
