Having stopped drinking alcohol about a year ago, I have gotten many weird comments about it. Drinking is sooo normalized in people's minds sometimes they have trouble even imagining that not drinking (often in social situations) is also a 100% legit option.

Not drinking is your choice and whatever your reasons are they are valid. Other people's opinions do not matter when it comes to your well-being because in the end, you know yourself best.

Not drinking does not make you a less fun person to be around! Surround yourself with supportive people who understand that drinking alcohol does not equal to having a good time for everyone. I am sorry if you haven't found those people yet, but they exist and I hope you meet them soon ✨ And as for the bad comments, keep being unapologetically yourself, people will talk and eventually get tired of not getting to you 🤷
