Drinking Alcohol

0 Not allowed! Not allowed!
It came to my attention that "all" khmer should know how to drink.
I went to an after party after show and was offered a drink, of course i rejected it because i don't drink, I got some weird look but I didn't care. I grabbed a cup of juice instead. people asked me "isn't it hard not to drink since everyone around you is drinking?" I said "no, if you love yourself, you won't harm yourself just to please a crowd of people you don't really know".

I understand that a lot of people gave up because of peer pressure. For me, I couldn't even stand the smell of alcohol. My whole family don't drink, so i makes sense that i don't drink. It's hard for some people to believe that I dont drink at all because i go to a school that is not only known for basketball but also for drinking party.

I made a decision not to drink and i'm glad some people understand and respect my decision. Those who think i'm weird, we'll see who live longer.

    That's good for you! One of my very good friends doesn't drink either. I feel bad when we go out and sometimes I forget she doesn't drink, so I ask her and then realize I'm such an idiot for forgetting. Lol.

    I do not drink either. For the most part, people are really cool about it and admire me for my willpower. LOL. In actuality, it's because my body cannot handle that stuff. It's toxic to me. But even if it weren't and I could handle it, I don't like the taste. And I have control issues. You are not in control if you're under any influence. That scares the living hell out of me. Stay sober.

    When you're around people you're comfortable with, who accept you as you are, you won't be peer pressured to drink alcohol.

    So choose your friends wisely.

    i don't drink either. i'll drink to socialize with a girl and try to get closer. and i don't give in to peer pressure. i'll drink maybe once every quarter, so i don't think that's bad. and i don't want to get no d.u.i. either. i like to stay in control of my life and be a designated driver. but i see how alcohol can loosen me up a little.

    There's a fine line between enjoying alcohol socially and becoming dependent on alcohol. Drink responsibly and know your limit. A little bit of alcohol can help a person relax and loosen up a little for socializing. I drink a little during gatherings and get together. Choosing not to drink is a great thing too, good for you!
