I'm not beating you up but it's a line of argument I hope you never buy again
Don't let yourself be beguiled again, man.
The Truth right here in Dee's response.
When I read your post I immediately thought situation I found myself in a couple weeks ago, Amp; and it wasn't until after I questioned the waiter, read the bottle, had my husband pull out his glasses to read the bottle, before I accepted the non-alchoholic beer, that I realized that our friends were sitting with us, witnessing what I think they may have perceived as my craziness. But, hell ya! I'm not going to let my anxiety get the best of me. I felt weird after the fact, wondering if the friends thought I was an alcoholic (um, which I am, but hid it for long I just feel I still need to keep it hidden). It's another weight lifted when you just OWN it! I did that without thinking. So maybe just don't overthink situations, just go with your gut instinct.
