"I've already drank my fair share."

Just a heads up, that one leads to laughter (which is probably why I like it) and then sometimes the questions. Meh, I don't really get into it with people anymore. It does depend on who it is as to how I handle it.

It's more about my own internal dialog and I don't have much of one anymore regarding why I don't drink. "No, thanks," is my standard answer. If people ask why I say, "I don't like it." Simple and no good argument against it. I don't lie, never have - but I don't tell all either. I don't use the word alcoholic anywhere but here.

I've said this many times on SR before, but my closest family didn't stop offering me a drink even years after I told them I was an alcoholic (in the 90s) and I refused a drink every single time in those years. With them sometimes I'd say, "No!" and then give them the Look.

In.

After I wake up.
