To wish I drunk alcohol

4 replies

Because I feel boring without it. I see all these people going out drinking with their friends and I can’t do it. I feel like I don’t have an escape in the evening, can’t just have a nice glass of wine. I’m 23.
Drunk too much at parties between the ages of 14 and 16. It now causes me extreme stomach issues for weeks after a night of drinking. Haven’t had a sip on over a year. I feel embarrassed I can’t drinkz
Am I weird for thinking this?

Yes you are weird for thinking you're boring because you don't drink alcohol. Lots of people don't, and still manage to socialise, have fun, etc

I can't drink anymore either and I find it hard too. Mainly because it makes other people uncomfortable.

Just seems all my friends chill out with a glass of wine or smoke some weed on a weekend and I’m the boring oneZ

I mostly don't drink now, and feel very anxious about going out and mixing because I'm introvert and booze used to give me feel confident and relaxed. I totally understand you.

However, I'd also say that taking the plunge and just going out and getting on with it usually means I have a good time anyway. And no hangover!
