"You have to drink to have a good time"
Discussion
Does anyone else get as pee'd off as me with those people who try to make you feel guilty for not drinking Alcohol when you're out?
We're off out for a meal for a friends birthday later and I'll be on the water as i'm trying to do some training so laying off the alcohol. However my "friend" has a habit of trying to persuade me to have a drink & no doubt will have some comments like "don't be so miserable" and "why are you being boring", as if you have to have alcohol to have a good time.

I never drink alcohol, most people accept it but like you I have one or two acquaintances who really seem to struggle with the concept.
The nagging ones are the worst as I tend to dig my heels in harder when I know people are pressuring me, then they get cross with me for consistently refusing

If I'm off the booze, sadly rarely, I just don't go out. Nothing worse than spending the night with pi55ed people unless you are the same way yourself.
This is the only way to do it.I packed in booze completely last Spring and now cannot be bothered to go out. A meal is fine but fk all the rest of it.
I've got far better things to do with my time than watching others enjoy themselves.
Jealous? Most definitely, but I've made my decision and I'm sticking to it.
I always drink when I go out for the evening and I do so because I enjoy it, it puts me at ease and it puts others at ease and as such it's a very effective social lubricant. I don't think its a problem for me and I don't see it as a problem for the majority of people I know either. Of course, there will always be others who try to convince us that it is.
