WCDT strips 3866-3871 (5th November to 10th November 2018)
Tova:
Yes, it's not such a great thing that you need strategies to deal with social situations where you just don't want to drink.
I have extensively used both the nursing a full drink at all times gambit and the no thanks, I'm driving gambit.
Welu:
I drink sometimes, just if I feel like it or not. My partner does not drink at all, he tried before I knew him and didn't like it and now never drinks. After eight years my friends and family still ask almost every time he's around does he want an alcoholic drink. At special occasions he'll still get the "Are you sure? Go on." for toasts and it might get poured before or during the refusal. He can get away with saying I'm drinking so he's driving, or sometimes I can say when I don't feel like drinking that it's so he doesn't feel weird being the only one not drinking. Still nonsense to feel like an excuse is needed.
SmilingCat:
Well I'm naturally antisocial, to the point of reacting angrily to peer pressure (before I got on antidepressants, I handle anger better now).
My circle of friends is small enough and old enough that I don't have to worry about it so much anymore.
Though if all else fails and I'm feeling diplomatic, I can always lean on my disability. Technically my doctors did tell me not to drink (as part of normal patient interaction).
Penquin47:
Is this really something you need a partner's input on? If you're thinking about taking it up as a regular habit, sure, but a one-time celebration thing... I dunno. This strip bugs me and I can't quite put my finger on *why*.
pendrake:
For comic #3868...
*squeak*
That is all.
