I don’t understand why people have problems with other drinking or taking any drugs for that matter. I rarely drink, since I learned to get the effect I desire from alcohol on my own - but others have clearly fun drinking, so why bother?
“You don’t drink? Like never?” “Just a glass?” “But it’s really good” “just try it.” “You can drink a glass and still drive, you know” “woah, i can’t even IMAGINE not to drink.”
You need to change your social circle or so - I can’t really remember last time someone tried to pressure me into drinking.
Sure, I would just avoid those people in general, since they don’t respect me - and it’s has nothing to do with alcohol. But than again I don’t have any troubles saying no to alcohol.
I have a problem with alcohol but I would never force someone else to drink. I also don’t know anyone who pressures me to drink when I don’t want to because I don’t hang out with shitty people
That’s why social drinkers have such a hard time quitting, cuz they have a bunch of friends that are only their friends cuz of drinking. In a way I feel blessed that I prefer to drink alone
Work events are always like that in my experience, I haven’t drank since I had a health issue a couple years ago where the doctor was clear that alcohol must not be taken or the tests will be unable to help me.
Since then all work social events have been hell from people either thinking I’m a recovering alcoholic or terminally ill.

It’s a misery loves company thing, someone being able to refuse alcohol makes them uncomfortable and realize their habit
Not sure I got your point.
Those people who pressure others to drink just want to bring others down with them

In my opinion all work social events (or forced social event as a whole) are hell. To be fair I’m freelancer.
