this was always hard for me… drinking has become so normalized in my family and friend groups.
We always know when some one is pregnant because they are the only one not drinking

One thing I found surprising was how little most people care about other people’s drinking. I thought I’d have to explain not drinking a lot more than I actually have.
I was the opposite. I was really frustrated about how much I did have to explain it.
its been 3 years, and somehow I am still explaining it.
Prob because Im the first person in my family/friend circle to actually quit drinking for more than like a week. everyone is just waiting for me to go ‘back to normal’ drinking.

“Hey, look mister, we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast.”
One of my favorite lines from It’s a Wonderful Life. Congrats to those reducing their alcohol consumption.
