to regret agreeing to a night out with her

I have an old friend with no dcs, I have a toddler. In our 20s we used to socialise and party a lot, most weekends in fact. However, I chose to reduce the friendship over the years as she can be quite a diva and doesn't take no for an answer and we fell out a few times over her demanding behaviour. For example if we were out on a Saturday night, if she wanted to get a taxi to another town she would demand we did it even if I didn't want to go, or if she wanted to carry on drinking and I didn't, she would still expect me to buy rounds of drinks for her even if I'd stopped drinking.

She's been asking if I'd like to meet up for a night out and I agreed as she can be a lot of fun. However, I clearly stated I will only have two alcoholic drinks, but not to worry as I'd still be lots of fun. I'm really regretting agreeing to this night out though, as already she's hassling me about my 'moderate' drinking. She is very spoiled by her parents and doesn't have many friends due to her high maintenance behaviour.

wibu to cancel on her as I just don't think she gets that I don't want to drink myself to oblivion? We're due to go out this Saturday.

cancel it. Life is too short to spend time doing stuff you don't want to with people you'd rather not be with

I would reiterate what you've told her about drinking and ask her if SHE still wants to go out - then she can't turn around and blame you when you stop drinking.
She may be fun but she doesn't sound like much of a friend.

Thanks, I've reiterated that I can't drink much and asked if she still wants to meet. If she gives anymore diva signs I think I'll cancel, I agree she isn't much of a friend!
