I do feel comfortable in myself around others drinking when im not drinking. Its the pressure others put on me to have a drink that's hard.....go on, just one wont hurt......it's the weekend, you can have a few beers, everyone does......your on holiday etc......
I also get the feeling that when I don't drink on social events , my wife thinks I'm just being awkward and ignorant. When I do drink, she's like, oh no, hes on the beer!!........cant win really!
A few friends just cant understand why I want to give up drink. Saying that, as an onlooker, I see that a few of them have drink problems too!!
