i've noticed that alcohol seems to be the thing which social occasions revolve around and it is expected of me that when i turn 18 i start drinking alcohol.
drinking even a sip of alcohol makes me feel sick
i have emetophobia which worsens this
i don't like the idea of losing control
however, i worry that this will get worse when i go to university with all the peer pressure to drink when i genuinely don't want to and i don't like the thought of it but i don't want to be seen as boring and well an outcast but i guess i always feel like an outcast.
my mum made mince pies and i happened to have the one with tons of alcohol in it and i feel sick right now.
alcohol always seems to be the source of entertainment generally.
i don't want to turn this into another rant but i just hate the way the world is

I drank for while when I was in my early-twenties because everyone else did and I wanted to fit in. I hated it so much that I had stopped by my mid-twenties.
I'm now an OAP and haven't had alcohol for over forty years. Yay!!

what was it that you didn't like when you was drinking alcohol?
Scoobydoo, I would feel sick and be utterly exhaustedl for several days afterwarrds, partly hangover but also extreme fatigue from coping with the crowded clubs and pubs; loud music, bright lights and the sheer effort of constant masking. So not just the drink.
