Pressure to drink.

Away with alot of people for a birthday! Mixture of adults and kids. Having an OK time. It's a bit much with there being so many people but there you go. We may do this again but I have misgivings as the pressure to get pissed is too great. I used to be a party animal but tbh I just cant be arsed anymore

I often just accept a drink then keep it with me while I also have a lemonade or something. Or dilute wine with lots of soda for very weak spritzer, or beer with lemonade for very weak shandy.
Once others have had a few drinks they don't pay much attention to what others are doing.
I hope you find a way to enjoy your break.

Just tell them you can't be arsed drinking. I always really admire people who say that, it shows they're strong
