It is very hard to not give in to peer pressure.
For me drinking is a "social lubricant" and I sometimes feel awkward without it. Especially when I'm the only one not drinking.
We just need to remember that the only one noticing us not drinking is usually ourselves. To "normals" who can take it or leave it, I don't think they care at all.
