Alcohol never had appeal to me, it utterly has society by the balls though.
I'm glad I escaped the alcohol bear trap. Friends and family all arounde wrestle with their habits.

No problem, I'll be here all week.
Drinking is a large part of the culture my friends and I share. I drink too much, as do they. It gets old, but it can also be a real blast.

Same here. I still have a couple to a few on a weekend here and there, and an occasional one during a dinner on work nights, but rarely. I am lucky to have legal cannabis smoke, and I'm a light smoker. All in moderation as they say.
Wrestler, you don't have to drink as much or any around them. If they give you grief get new friends, easy to say I know but hard to do, I know that too. Remember the bucket of crabs story, it's true!

My father has a 50 gallon pot still. The only tax you pay is for the materials needed for the mash. Makes drinking pretty cheap, it just depends on how much time you want to spend aging it. It’s pretty good off the drip though.

I loved drinking, if I wasn't alcoholic, I'd drink all the time.
In actuality, I had a love/ hate relationship with it that eventually turned to hate / hate...but I was one of those people that didn't stop until I passed out.
I still enjoy parties when others are enjoying it, but when peeps get loud and obnoxious, I usually leave when I can. I have less and less tolerance for that as I get older but once upon a time, I was that loud obnoxious drunk.

it's not even about feeling pressured to join in.
it's about the bullshit drama that inevitably follows.
i'm tired of the fights. i'm tired of the puke. i'm tired of trying to be the voice of reason for people who don't want to hear it.

i get that.
i personally do not have much patience with drunk people. especially the rowdy fighting ones.
i can concur that it gets old FAST and I choose to try and avoid some people when they're drinking because I know how they get.

Fight prone drunks are no fun at all. My friends husband always gets shit canned, then either passes out or he mistakes something somebody said and gets angry about it. That's not a great time. We tend to to invite them out a lot less as a result.
My close friends and I like to joke around, poke fun at each other, go to concerts, play board games. All harmless fun.
