[quote=Anonymous]In law school we had to sit through multiple seminars about alcoholism in the profession but then were also invited to just so many networking happy hours and similar. I learned and used the "lime in a sprite" trick to hide that I didn't drink in those contexts. There are also some people who will grill you if you're not drinking, especially if you're female they'll assume you're pregnant. Which A) no, lots of reasons people don't drink sometimes and B) in the instance when this happened when I was pregnant, it was early enough I didn't want to talk about it, certainly not around people I'd just met and it was frustrating to be put in that position. I'm not anti alcohol, but, boy, the way drinking culture is ingrained in some contexts, to the extent you're interrogated by some people for NOT drinking is messed up.[/quote]
