[quote=Anonymous]Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this. I'm a 40 something woman who has decided not to drink anymore-I just don't feel good the day after drinking alcohol even if it's a small amount. I have trouble with depression and it makes me feel worse. I'm fine with other people drinking and have no problem being around alcohol-I just don't want it myself. What has been really surprising to me is the number of friends/friendly acquaintances who seem bothered by this decision. I don't make a show of it, I just decline when offered alcohol. I recently went to a very small social gathering at a friend's house (everyone there is in the health care field and has been fully vaccinated against Covid) and got aggressively questioned about why I wasn't drinking/pressured to drink. This happened pre-pandemic as well-I just haven't dealt with it for awhile because of not socializing in-person due to Covid. I would understand it if I were 20-35 years younger but these are middle-aged women pressuring me to drink. [/quote]
