Some of us deal with that for a while.
Best to stay in safe zones until we feel comfortable around drinking.
If offered I just say that I'm not drinking today.
But, if ever uneasy I get out of there fast.
Stayed at a wedding once when I was not thinking right.
Before long I had two Heineken Beers before me.
Of course at that point I chugged them down fast.
Should have walked outside for some fresh air.
