I am not one to drink much anyway, but it is nice to have a little drink and indulge only if one wants to. I suppose it can depend on your temperament and whether or not you will easily give in.

It's a very real and very annoying thing. I'll be 36 in a few weeks and sometimes I feel like I get more pressure now as an adult then when I was teenager. I don't drink for many reasons, and people should be accepting of that, but I have found it's worse after people are already drunk and I just laugh and order a virgin girly drink so it appears that I am drinking.<br /><br />xo,<br />Eeka<br /><br /><a href="https://ericaliveloverandom.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Live.Love.Random.</a>Eeka Cupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259923880405798798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390909237436203417.post-21561274228550712672016-12-14T13:38:20.657-08:002016-12-14T13:38:20.657-08:00No one should be forced to drink but I do know wha...No one should be forced to drink but I do know what you mean.
