[QUOTE="Bigdawg90, post: 3847940, member: 49831"] I didn’t have anything really wrong happen to me, but I’m the same way. It sounds weird, but I bring my own drink to most social occasions. Like a big jug of half cranberry juice and water. It tastes different enough so I don’t feel stupid for drinking water but I don’t have to approach a cooler and not reach for that ice cold Coors. Most of my friends know me and know that I won’t cave and just leave me alone about it. Sometimes people I don’t know too well ask why I’m not drinking and try to make a big deal out of it. I tell them in a quiet voice it’s a medical condition. Lol. Solves everything super quick. People feel like assholes. Biggest thing is to not talk about it in the social settings. You’ll get 1000 different reasons why it would be ok. Just say you're not drinking and leave it at that. [/QUOTE]
