I know this might sound strange but I'd appreciate any words of wisdom .
DS has never had a thriving social life ( not because he doesn't want one ) and tends to be a bit awkward socially .
He doesn't drink but doesn't seem to have the confidence to accept this or be happy about it .
He seems to think it's a social handicap and an impediment to socialising .
I'm not sure how he's going to handle this at college - he clearly doesn't feel it's ok to just tell people he doesn't like the taste .
He seems anxious to find an alcoholic drink that he finds palatable and I'm worried that with that motive and "help" from others he might end up paralytic on some dreadful vodka and fruit based cocktail ( or similar )that someone's suggested .
Can't think that being away from home , no "drinking" experience and trying to prove himself is not going to be ideal .
If you think I'm bonkers - please tell me nicely ....
