"If you aren't someone who prefers not to drink, you probably don't really understand where the pressure comes from."
Some of us who do choose to drink at times also choose not to drink on certain occasions - e.g. weeknight w/ workout or yoga at 0630. There's definite social pressure to drink at a "drinking establishment" but I don't recall anyone ever wedging my jaws open and funneling beer down my throat.
Hold your own frame and never let your reality be dominated by the throwaway comments of others.
If you want to use a decoy, get a 1/2 cranberry / 1/2 soda with a wedge of lime. Looks like a "real" drink.
- Goladus 17y agoI don't recall anyone ever wedging my jaws open and funneling beer down my throat. That's really why I made the post. Just to explain that this study fully understands that most people do not have beer forced down their throats and instead examined broader trends. My point was to show that there is a whole spectrum between not feeling any pressure and being threatened at gunpoint.
