some people just make a big deal out of it just because they want to. When I feel the person is making a big deal out if and basically just being annoying about it I just say some BS how many beers I drank a few days ago and taking a break and if they want to meet for a beer on Saturday morning at 9 or 10am and we can drink all day..... after that they usually forget and just think all is normal and continue on their merry way. Rightly or wrongly in the lies what I say to annoying people who make a big deal out of it but its my decision and nothing to do with them.
