However, I have a plan, I am going to get my own drinks, decline all offers, and if it gets bad I will leave and come home. I have to make an appearance, and I might stay for the whole game, but this is the first time I am taking myself out of my comfort zone this time.
TDG here, wish me luck folks, I am going to the throat of the beast, and will hopefully come out intact, stay safe and sober friends TDG
What I have found out, and I am sure you will too, no one will care that you aren't drinking. It's our AV that tries to convince us that everyone at these types of events will inquire and press us as to our not drinking, but the reality is 99% of people simply don't care. Just go and have fun, and leave if it gets uncomfortable. Enjoy the game too, should be a good one!
