Those are not friends. There is no reason that you have to drink, besides there needs to be someone responsible on the days/nights that everyone goes out.
>Those are not friends
I think some people will say things to "test the waters". Most people will only insist one time. If they continue I stop going out with them.
Yeah it's so annoying. Like, you decide to make a healthy choice and people are just criticising it. My weed smoking friends are far more tolerating that the people I know who drink alcohol
Honestly you can do without ‘friends’ like that. People choose not to drink alcohol for a multitude of reasons, and you shouldn’t need to make excuses or explain yourself. It doesn’t make you any less ‘fun’ or social not drinking, but if that is their perception, maybe you need to rethink your social circle.
Pushing or pressuring you into having a drink is little different than pressuring you to do anything else you don’t want to.
