The night I turned 21 I went to a bar and danced my little heart out. At 1:00 am I realized I still hadn’t had my first legal drink so I ordered a sex on the beach. I finished that drink and went home that night sober and feeling good.
I have never been much of a drinker. Here are a few reasons… I have never enjoyed the taste of alcohol overly. I don’t appreciate feeling nauseous, dizzy, spins or the feeling of day-after-embarrassment. I am 26 now and I cannot go to a bar without getting flack from someone about not drinking. They always want a reason why, they hound me with offers of shots and they make me feel uncomfortable for being of sober. Then I always get questions as to why I am not drinking as if I must have some biological reason for sobriety because no person would actually choose that position. Here is a tip, if someone passes on the offer to drink or order a coke instead of a beer don’t bother saying anything. They probably are choosing not to drink because they don’t want to, not because they are waiting for someone to offer one. And if you are really that uncomfortable drinking alone maybe you should consider why you ordered and take a pass at the next round.
