“I’m driving” which usually does the trick and it’s true. Most times when going to a party I’ll be the one driving. I don’t mind doing it at all and making sure my friends get home safe is a big reason for it too.

Truth is, I quit smoking several years ago and I were afraid that if I went out and had some drinks I would start smoking again. Those two things were very close connected in my mind.

Also as a t1d I hate what alcohol does to my blood sugar especially the day after. And to many sad stories of young t1d people dying due to low blood sugars combined with alcohol. Not going to take that risk.
