social pressure to drink

tribesman44

hi there. just a bit about me. wanted to see if anyone else has these things in common. i just turned 30 last month. my drinking in the past 2 years has come WAY down. can count on one hand the amount of times i've been drunk in the past 2 years. used to be a heavy drinker from the age of 18-28. last 2 years ive been into different types of whiskeys. really just drinking for taste though and not to get trashed. anyways, hangovers were always pretty terrible, but i noted that i am getting them easier and easier now. ive gotten to the point where i dont even want to touch the stuff anymore. had a few too many last weekend...first time in a WHILE i got the urge to drink. wasn't even drunk on the night, but woke up next morning with a massive migraine. i get these heart palpitations too called "holiday heart" (google it.) makes for a miserable day. feels like i have to concentrate on breathing. and on top of that im an irritable bastard. oh and i crave complete **** food. and the best part is, it doesn't end there. my hangovers last about 2-3 days now. im a really healthy guy. always eating well and going for my walks or bike rides. the drinking just doesn't fit into my way of life anymore. was wondering if anyone else out there is in the same place as me. my wife doesn't really enjoy drinking anymore either. this leads me to my next problem...social pressure. even my parents give me stink for not wanting a drink sometimes. never thought that day would come. and when i am at family gatherings, i feel the need to drink because i CAN NOT STAND being around drunk people when i am sober. sounds crazy, but i would rather just be on my own then with irritating drunk people. i just feel that theres so much more out there then getting pissed all the time. my new drunk is waking up at 8am and not having a hangover, LOL.

The trick with the dancing is to buy a drink (like a 7up or something) and keep it in your hand - then you are not required to move your arms

Brilliant! I'm going to use that one.

It works even better if you have it in glass (as opposed to a bottle) because then you don't really have to move at all cause you're "making sure it doesn't spill"

I'm making myself look really boring now... I just can't dance! haha. Watching other people (drunk-)dancing is entertainment enough
