No! Really! It's not mine!
I haven't drunk alcohol in over a year, last time I got drunk was maybe almost a decade ago...
I'm sure that'll convince someone? Though it makes it sound like I used to be one too lol.
"What do you mean? I don't even drink"
I really should reduce my consumption, I've always hang around people that tend to get wasted on a weekly basis. Getting tipsy is enjoyable, but more than that is just fucking stupid. I also find it hard to talk about stuff with them, or to do meaningful activities, they just want to drink a lot and act like dumbasses in night clubs. So boring. I should try and find new friends, but I feel like most people act like this, honestly. It's the same when I hang out with strangers. My hard limit is 3 drinks per night now.
Most people don't do this. You need to find friends somewhere other than bars and clubs.

"I've honestly never really thought about it." And then "I don't know, I don't really keep track of how much I drink."
"Fuck you, I can stop whenever I want."
I never drank anythinng alcoholic in my life. Does that sound alcoholic?
I honestly don't really see the appeal of alcohol. Water on top. Where my hydro homies at?

I have a drink once a month (or sometimes not for a few months) and it makes me feel exhausted. We do a big party once a year and that's more than enough for me.
