17 years old and don't drink alcohol

autileaf
over 2 years ago

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

    Several reasons why I don't drink.

    1. I find it very difficult to even enter a pub or club due to anxiety.
    2. At home I never buy alcohol to bring home because of the cost, I prefer fruit juice, Lucozade or bottled spring water, tea coffee.
