Like really I haven't even had one drink, I seriously quit drinking. They probably thought they would see pigs fly before seeing me sober at a wedding reception!
Just getting the invitation in the mail use to rattle my nerves and make me drink! That's how I use to react to social situations.
I definitely relate to the "rattle my nerves" thing you mentioned. My place of work has a Christmas meal each year and you have to your put your name down if you're interested in going. I've decided against it. Mainly because I know through chatting to many of them that they "like a drink" and also, there are bound to be a lot of people going - just don't think it would be good to be in that situation. I would worry I might cave.
