    It’s a misery loves company thing, someone being able to refuse alcohol makes them uncomfortable and realize their habit

        Those people who pressure others to drink just want to bring others down with them

          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
