What's your experience with being drunk? From my experience, I know that it's not everyone that get drunk no matter how much or what they drank.

Have you ever been drunk? What did you take and how did you feel when you woke up the next day?

I don't get drunk often, mainly because I'm a big guy and it takes an awful lot of alcohol for me to be really drunk.

I can only remember a couple of times in my life where I've been really drunk, and suffice to say I woke up with a severe headache and regret on the mind in the morning. Haha!

I don't believe I've ever had a full glass of alcohol in my life, only sips here and there. I've never been a fan.

That's completely okay! Everyone has different preferences when it comes to beverages, and it's perfectly valid to choose not to drink alcohol. Many people prefer non-alcoholic drinks for a variety of reasons, including personal taste, health considerations, or lifestyle choices. There are plenty of delicious non-alcoholic options to enjoy, from juices and sodas to mocktails and flavored waters. It's all about finding what you like best and what makes you feel comfortable.

No, I've never been drunk at least not as an adult. I can't remember ever being drunk. I might have been tipsy from taking a few drinks but not drunk.

It sounds like you've managed your alcohol consumption in a way that works for you, maintaining control and avoiding intoxication. It's common for people to have different tolerances and experiences with alcohol, and it's perfectly okay to choose not to drink or to drink in moderation. If you have any concerns or questions about alcohol consumption, feel free to ask!

When I was in the Army when I was younger there was a huge drinking culture that you either had to a part of, or you were excluded from certain circles. It was not fun as I really wasn't a drinker but felt peer pressured into it by the 'Adults' around me

It sounds like you were in a difficult situation, being surrounded by a strong drinking culture that didn't align with your personal preferences. This can be challenging because the pressure to fit in and be accepted by peers is often intense, especially in environments like the military where camaraderie and group cohesion are emphasized.

It's important to recognize that you weren't alone in feeling this way—many people find themselves in similar positions where social activities or group norms don't align with their personal values or comfort levels. It's unfortunate that you felt excluded for not participating in these drinking activities, but it also highlights the importance of creating inclusive environments where individuals feel accepted regardless of their choices.

Reflecting on this experience now, it might be helpful to consider how you can use what you've learned to support others who might be going through similar situations. Encouraging open conversations about peer pressure and promoting activities that don't revolve around drinking could help create a more inclusive atmosphere in various groups.

Exactly. I always tell people now to be true to themselves even if it costs them friends. Because the real friends will stick around and understand

That's a great perspective. Encouraging authenticity can lead to more genuine and meaningful relationships. True friends appreciate and support each other's true selves, even if it means navigating some differences along the way. It fosters an environment of trust and respect, where everyone feels comfortable being who they truly are. It's important, though, to communicate openly and empathetically, as maintaining friendships also involves understanding and compromising at times.
