My opinion on alcohol in the social environment | Weekend Engegement 198

Talking about this topic is easy for me because it is something that I have always discussed with certain people. By this I do not mean in a bad way but rather I find it interesting the way in which alcohol is seen as an extremely important factor in social activities. and that is something I strongly disagree with, which is why the topic always comes up.

In my case I am a person who does not like alcohol, which I know may sound very strange but at 28 years of age I can say that I have never needed to consume it to be able to have a good time or share with friends, I have never I felt attracted to drinking alcohol even though everyone in my circle of friends did it and it was seen as something so normal that I have always been the “strange” one in the group for not joining them for a drink. Certainly there has always been that social pressure that expects that at some point I can give in to consuming alcohol on certain occasions, but I have always omitted all kinds of comments about it and the truth is I don't give importance to it, I don't consume alcohol because I don't like it. , it is not my thing and no environment or situation will make me consume it just to “fit in” with a group of people.

I have always been firm regarding this issue, clearly at some point I had to have tried alcohol to determine that I did not like it and from the first moment I decided that I would not consume it regardless of the situation that arises, well, for me it is not It is necessary to do it to enjoy a good time, have a good time at a party or celebrate any special occasion although the vast majority of people consider that it is, but, as I already mentioned, I do not allow myself to be influenced by that and much less when They want to convince me that if I don't do it I'm missing out on all the fun because I've already bought it and don't need it. Those who know me already know that alcohol does not suit me, even so there are always times when they offer me a drink hoping that I will accept and in fact sometimes I do, just to make a toast or for a photo and that's it, in the end I end up giving my drink to my boyfriend, sometimes I have even thrown it away without anyone noticing, because drinking it for me is not an option.

By saying all this I do not intend to make people believe that I am better for not needing alcohol to have fun, in fact I do not criticize those who do it, it is just that for me it is not necessary, I do not like its taste at all and I simply do not tolerate it I don't think it has a good effect on me and I really don't want to find out, I'm fine without alcohol and being the only one in the group who doesn't consume it.
