I just don’t ever want to drink?
My dad died due to excessive drinking and smoking only two years ago, (and on new years eve)
Anyways, my decision to never drink came when I saw my mom drinking and she acted terrible. Not abusive or anything, but I knew she wasn’t in control of her actions (she acted like an idiot.) She influenced my decision and so did my dad when he drank, cause he would ignore me, yell at me and be so extremely annoying.
Now I don’t care that other people drink or get drunk even. But I just don’t understand why they take my choice of not drinking as some sort of challenge to get me to drink. Why can’t they leave me alone? Ive been told to loosen up, live a little and that i’m no fun. But just because I chose not to drink doesnt mean they couldn’t or can’t.
Then they’ll go off and defend drinking as if I’m judging them. Which I’m not, I could care less about others honestly, I dont drink for me, not for anyone else.
The suprising thing is that I hear it most from my family members. Like my sister (who gets drunk all the time apparently), my aunts and uncles.
