    Just donate blood before you go out, that will lower your iron levels!

    you like the reasoning bit?

    not me......I like being non-responsive/mono-syllabic as I observe what weaknesses they have before I strike cat like in my swiftness and devastating like a shockwave or something (+other better similes I cant think of right now)

    Guys I've had issues with some of my friends lately. I have given up drink because my iron in my blood is very high and its a good bit over acceptable limits, had blood tests taken, and besides giving blood, I've had to make diet changes and decided to cut out alcohol until I get back my iron in blood to normal levels.

    Some of my so called friends give out to me for not drinking now and laugh at my excuse. I ended up nearly decking one of them but didn't because he was too cheeky and far too cocky for my liking and I don't like people that mock me if its health related. I have a few friends who understand my problem and they accept it and don't mind.

    I was out tonight and the same sh*t happened again, some of the lads joking to my face because I drank Orange. It was hurtful to me. I quietly left the pub after I told them I was going to toilet and went home. I had to go home because my rage was bad I would have killed someone.

    I want to look after my health and if they can't accept that, I think they aren't good friends.

    I am a bit upset and annoyed now so any good advice you might offer will be appreciated.

    Rant over.

    I can only assume you are quite young. Sounds like you have a few issues that need addressing. A few lads in a pub slagging you should not result in you flying into a rage and having to leave before you kill someone. Maybe work on your self confidence so it won't get to you as much.

    Absolutely. What struck me about your post wasn't the fact that you were getting a hard time but that you don't seem to be able to take a bit of a ribbing. Instead of expecting a bunch of lads to be serious about your condition you should give it back a bit and let it slide off. I have a friend who has the same condition and his nickname is now Tony Stark.

    There's a good chance in 15-20 years, those piss-head friends will be in exactly the same routine except with bigger beer bellies on them, living for every weekend to go out and get trollied, complaining that life is shíte, Ireland is a dump, etc, etc, when the real problem is them. I'd be happy to be different to that.

    Break the wrist, walk away.

    But seriously though, a bit of piss taking from your mates shouldn't make you that angry. Just slag them back and chill the fook out. It's normal for groups of lads to abuse each other over anything and everything, surely you've got some dirt to throw back at him.

    Seriously good advice. *Checks if in AH or PI.* When did you get so smart Micky!! :p:D

    Damn,Mickys advise is much better than mine. I was going to say slip him a few roofies then when he passes out put him naked in a dumpster out the back of the pub with a dildo stuck in him and a big sign in front of him for when he wakes up "See what drinking does to ya???".

    But go with Mickys, it's much better (and possibly legaler).

    You are correct, I have poor self confidence in general but in fairness I don't think many people would put up with the sh*t that some of the lads are spouting out. I just had to control my temper by walking away. At least it was better than doing some damage to someone.

    I'd have to agree with the poster who said the main issue I'd be worried about is your anger. A group of young lads will take the piss out of each other. They may have been insensitive but I'm sure they didn't mean it unless they're complete knobs. Wanting to give them a good hiding is far worse IMO

    True but wanting to do and doing a thing are not the same. Having second thoughts does mean that I did consider my actions and therefore found it best just to walk away in the heat of the moment.

    Next time you're out for a few drinks don't mention that you're off the booze, don't make a big deal out of it. Drink coke or something, don't get into rounds and if anyone asks what you're drinking tell them vodka and coke. A lot of people seem to take it personally if a drinker in the group stops boozing all of a sudden, it's a wankerish way to behave but it happens. By the time they're 3-4 drinks in they won't notice if you're on the sauce or not.

    I'm with the OP here. Its not necessarily down to self confidence, if I was in a group of drunken yobs having the craic with incessant slagging over something that there's no explaining to in the state they're in, i'd so the same, walk the f out and f the lot of them.

    If you have a few drunkards bouncing off each other onto you, there's no winning with logic and if you're not enjoying yourself, just walk out and find something else to do. I can take a slaggin as much as anyone else, but if its over the same thing over and over it gets old and if you retaliate, you'll end up putting their night on a downer. Easier just to leave, makes them feel bad too.

    Drink is on too much of a pedestal in this country. I go off drink for weeks or months on end for fitness reasons. Mates look at ya like you just gave up breathing when you tell them you're just drinking water.

    What is it about us Irish that we look crooked with suspicion at a person who chooses not to drink. I wont drink when it is bright out, I don't fully know why, I just don't. But every now and again at a wedding or a funeral, a barbecue, I find people, questioning me and mocking as to why I am not drinking.

    What is it to them whether I drink or not, what is wrong with not drinking.

    I'm sure if it were the other way round your friends would react same as you, these people generally can dish it out but can't take it.
    A bit of slagging is one thing but if they go to far it's annoying. You did the right thing in walking away.
    Friends sometimes forget that people have feelings. Try rise above it.:)

    Hey, OP, I don't know if you've seen this already, but there's a Non-Drinkers Group on boards: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1015

    There's a few threads like this one in there, might be worth a read for you :)

    The main problem, I think, is that people assume that non-drinkers feel superior/have a "holier-than-thou" attitude/look down on others who drink/don't want anyone to have fun. You have to show that none of these apply to you.

    People are often surprised or confused when they find out I don't drink, but once they realise that I can have fun without it and that I don't care what they're drinking, it's not a problem.

    Way to prove his point. Your friends gave you a bit of slagging, so what? Everything about your reaction is woefully immature. By now your friends must be loving how easy it is to get a rise out of you.

    "Lads, watch this. Teednab, do you want a pint?"
    "**** YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL ALLA YOU!!"
    "I take it that's a no then?"
    "I AM OUTTA HERE BEFORE I GO KUNG FU PANDA ON YOUR SORRY ASSES!"
    "Ok, seeya in school on Monday".
