I can’t drink alcohol for medical reasons. It interacts badly with one of my prescriptions. It’s really weird how often I have to tell people about it. Nobody really pressures me after I say “medical reasons”, of course… but I’m very familiar with that confusion people get.
For me it’s basically the same reason I don’t drink soda. And yet no one questions me when I have an iced tea instead of a soda, but not drinking alcohol requires an explanation.
I recently stopped drinking, just kind of organically. I cut down to help cut some calories and ended up stopping altogether.
The pressure is weird at any sort of event. I declined some champagne that was being passed around and the response was “why not? It’s free!”
