I Don't Drink

Most of my friends think I drink alcohol but not only do I not drink, I've never even tried it before. I'm actually terrified to try drinking. I'm not worried I won't like it, because what's the worst that could happen? I'm worried that I WILL like it. Alcoholism runs rampant on both sides of my family, both my parents are alcoholics although my dad has recovered and doesn't drink anymore. My mom tried to recover and lasted 15 years but finally relapsed when I was a teenager. I'm too scared that I'll get addicted and start acting like that.

There's nothing wrong with not wanting to drink. I only drink maybe 2 or 3 times a year. If your friends know your family history, they should understand

@SkinnyMetalhead Don't worry about other people's opinions - if they're your friends they won't care. You can be the designated driver 😁
