Every Friday and Saturday I usually have a mad one, then I don't touch it during the drop. I'm aware alcohol's the same as nicotine, it's an addictive substance, I know that's why I drink. I'd like to one day be teetotal. I did go 2 month previously as I worry about what it's doing to my health, and I have to admit drinking isn't the only factor that comes into these two nights a week... but I found my friends stopped coming to visit because they thought they couldn't drink. I started to become a social pariah, I used to go out skateboarding at 2am alone. It was kind of awesome, but I felt like I was missing out on my friends activities etc.
- swombat 12y agoWhy not make it explicit to your friends that they are welcome to drink even if you're not drinking? I was at a BBQ yesterday, everyone was pissed, I just drank water... that wasn't a problem. Just don't rub your non-drinking in people's faces, and let them drink as much as they want.
- vegancap 12y agoWell, they'd come to visit me on a Friday night for a drink, but when I wasn't drinking, they'd ring another friend that was going out for a drink if you see what I mean. I think they were afraid that if they came to me, they'd have to drink tea and watch youtube video's all night or something.
- swombat 12y agoSimple solution is to invite them round, give them some beers, and sit down with your orange juice and be your usual self :-) Not drinking doesn't mean you can't have a well stocked drinks cabinet/fridge!
