To make it harder, I am a college student who has party friends. Anybody do this? or have any advice for me? I;m finding peer pressure hard to fight off.
 
Can you fake it? Like hold the beer glass but not drink it and find a plant to dump it in? I used to go to bars with friends when I was young and ordered a drink but never touched it! Chances are your friends will be too buzzed to notice you are not. The alternative is to find new friends who don't drink. You could offer to be the DD too.
 
good ideas. I guess i feel since im not drinking i wouldn't want to order it though. Someone told me to order a "mixed drink" which is really just soda.
 
When I was not drinking at all I stayed around with other people who didn't drink. I went through all of university without it so don't think you are doomed because you are a student. It seems like the people who drink moderately and those who drink to get completely hammered end up being two separate crowds. If the people you hang out with can't accept you being around without drinking then that's an issue.


You say you are a social drinker...do you get completely wasted or do you have a few drinks?
