My first reaction to that is easier said than done, then I started thinking maybe it's not. Maybe it's just an issue of will power, which kinda makes me feel weak for lacking the will power to just abstain.
When I don't drink while others are I become very anxious. It's hard for me to articulate exactly how I feel but being at an event where people are drinking and being the only one who isn't is difficult, lots of pressure both internal and external. I don't quite know how to say "no" and still be comfortable with myself in that situation.
