Pressure to Drink

[Homesrfan]

Honestly - I have very little desire to drink and I flat out WILL NOT do drugs. But sometimes my friends try to get me to drink and whatnot and I usually tell them no, or have something really light and not a lot of it. Anyone else feel pressured to do this and not want to do it? It makes you feel so stupid and like you can't relax and have fun or anything...

I think I'm like the only person that actually doesn't want to drink... I just don't see what's so great about getting so drunk you can't remember what you did and then throwing up all night and waking up in someone's bed and you have no idea who they are. Sounds really stupid to me. I probably will end up drinking some, but never get seriously drunk. And drink and driving scares me to death.

Is there anyone else like this?

I know what you mean. I've hung out with some friends before, and they all started doing stuff that i disagreed with, and when they asked me to join in, i didn't want to, and i kind of felt left out because everyone else was doing it.

But, at the end of the day, if thats your decision, you should stick to it, and you shouldn't just give in to fit in and everything.

If you don't like the throwing up and not knowing what you are doing just drink until your tipsy, I don't understand what your saying really when we go out it always fun and were already realxed I don't get that bit.

Even when you get really bad it's still kind of good, it's a converation tool for the future it doesn't matter how much of a **** you looked, it's fun to hear the stories about it the next day.

One time me and a friend has a leter of vodka each, Ok im lying on grass at this point the bottles almost empty then it felt like instantly after that I was in bed with cuts a bruises all over my body, I broke my phone, I got whacked in the face, I was sick all day but it was still great for some reason. I still hear stories about that I can't remember doing.

You just persuaded me to drink.
:rolleyes:
That's exactly why I don't want to drink a lot. It just seems so stupid to drink that much.

Soz or where you taking the ****? :P Theres plenty of time to drink start when your ready... We hardly get drunk now like once a month, have a few cans now and then tho.

It's up to you really.. I usually drink when Im with friends, sometimes theres drugs at parties, but I don't go near them, my friends understand that I don't wanna do drugs. If your friends don't like you because you won't drink or do drugs, I say try get some different friends :)

[Browney]

It's all in moderation. A couple of cans does'nt hurt anyone. Infact it starts conversation, gets people relaxed and makes you happy. But take too much and you will become a different person. I've seen it happen to my mates.

[VINTAGE]

You're not the only one who doesn;t want to drink. I don't detest drink but I'd prefer cherryade! Or a cider. I am pressured too, cos my frineds all get rat faced. I just either tell them I dont like what they're offering or take it and spill it down the loo.

Sometimes i get pressured to drink i just drink one glass of what ever it may be and drink it slowly my friends have never noticed might be because there slow but its worth a try :)

[dirrty]

im never pressured

[Bef]

If thats how you feel then stick to your guns. Peer pressure is bullswallops .
Personally iv always been the first person to want to try new things but i would never do something i didn't want to.
I go out on nights out with people who don't drink and they still manage to have a wicked time. iv been out sober before and still had a good time.
Just because "everyone" is doing it, that dont mean you have too. Just tell them ud rather not.
And as soon as your 17, learn to drive. Being a designated driver earns you alot of dosh. My mate takes in about 50pound every friday night :P
