What do you do when everyone around you is drinking?

And you’re sober? What do you think of non drinkers? Last time I really drank was 2012. I don’t regret quitting. But was curious what normal folk think of someone ordering a mocktail?

Most normal well adjusted people give absolutely zero thought to what you're drinking.

That they must have been a raging alcoholic and have either sucked dick for a beer or spent a long time in federal prison due to their problem. Or both.

That or I don’t really notice but if I do notice I don’t care or think anything of it.

Generally I think you're a broken pussy who had to completely quit and go dry because you simply can't handle a normal social amount of liquor, like a regular person.

Me personally, I volunteer to be the designated driver, insist they all handover their keys to me, excuse myself to go use the bathroom, and then promptly steal anything of value from theirs cars.

(then I plant it in either the wife's car if she's pissed me off or the most asinine person of the drinkers).

Cornbread and sweet tea is better than any IPA. Someone back me up.

We stopped drinking when we sold the last property in NOLA and moved up here full time.
I think our liquor cabinet may still have a bottle of cheap Schwegmann's Vodka. I've used up almost all of my run for Christmas cooking and the really good Couv. Brandy for a French recipe last year.

Our stress levels are so different from what they were.

Why would anyone past the age of college give a shite if someone doesn’t drink

Most of the time, I have ample self control. But when the moon is right…

The vast vast majority of people don’t care.

If you’re still concerned that they care, and I’m sure you’re talking about being out in public, just jingle your keys and say you’re driving and too cheap to pay Uber.

I have less tolerance for the raging alcoholics but otherwise mind my own business. I don't date alcoholics. Not worth the trouble.

The only thing worse than being the only guy drinking around a bunch of sober guys is being the only sober guy around a bunch of drunks.

Fact!

I’ve become a non drinker when I must drive. Zero. I’ve not had any issues just drinking a soda or water. Sure is nice to not worry about getting home or who is driving.

I’m not 19 anymore so I don’t care, and several of my friends are former drinkers.
