I'm assuming you're 20-30yo?
Asking bc it's totally plausible to do it; my girlfriend has a glass or two with dinner at most. I treated my liver extremely poorly in college. Other than drinks with dinner, I went down in drinking a lot; plus now that I'm in a relationship I don't need to be out every weekend.
And, my two cents - they should respect that you're sober regardless of why you made that choice. If they can't, I don't think they're worth your time anyway. |
Yeah, mid-20s.
Thanks, I know the stupid peer pressure is real. Even from family.
Last time I was dating, I would drink alcohol but have completely stopped since then. I've had a few comments here and there, saying I'm boring because I don't touch alcohol. I'd say they're the boring ones if that's their main source of fun.
So was just curious how things go for others now.
Saved money goes towards my sneaker collection instead lol
