[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Some of these responses are really disturbing.  I come from a family of alcoholics.  When I noticed my inability to control my own drinking, I decided it was better not to drink at all.  Who knew I would have to choose between being an alcoholic and being considered uptight.  I place no judgement on others and, in fact, am a little jealous others can drink responsibly.  Thanks for making me feel like crap!  :([/quote]

Nah, don't feel like crap.  Part of the reason i don't drink much, and will turn it down, is because I worry about my own control due to family history.  If someone wants to judge that.. let them.[/quote]

Me too. I think it says so much more about that other person who is judging your behavior, and who wants to force people to be like them.

I honestly have never received such a reaction as an adult until I moved to the DC area and people starting trying to "force" alcohol on me at parties. I actually do have one drink now and then, but just not that much, also due to family history and medical issues. Don't feel like crap, I think many of these folks insisting upon others drinking are the people who are unaware  they are already alcoholics. [/quote]
