Yearly holiday reminder - if someone says they don't want an alcoholic drink, that's all they need to say. Unless they offer, it's none of your business if they're in recovery, have a health issue, or just don't feel like it. Don't be the one who makes it weird.
@darkgryphon42 I stopped drinking when I was on call a lot- and trying to lose some weight, never picked it up again and when ppl try to insist on alcohol for me- I automatically 100% assume they have an issue with it, and that my -no thanks is triggering them…
@Htaggert I try not to judge, there's so much weird alcohol culture that not everyone really examines. But one way or another it says more about the person pushing than anything else.
@darkgryphon42 I don’t know why it’s so automatic for me- I mean no one has ever been that invested in me having a Gatorade.
