I think part of it is that people with out our alcoholic disease just can't comprehend what we battle....i don't think its anything to do with their own alcohol issues I think the egging on is from the other end of the scale, people cant understand the not being able to stop after one so see no harm in trying to convince you to have just 1. remember for normal people drinking is a social experience. Many times ive been egged on to dance at a party or have a burger when im on a diet, because people are social in the things they do and want their friends to join in. We as alcoholics become a bit precious about our issue (through necessity I believe), normal people will never really get the difficulty that gentle bit of peer pressure causes us. It's best to take it on the chin, they are not responsible for our issues so probably find the egging on and slight joking at our expense all in good humour
