“No thanks, I don’t drink.”
*Dramatic silence that makes silent film actors cry in shame*
So, seriously, what is the big deal about people who prefer not to drink? This is a common battle some of us have to fight with the others who are too drunk to even fight back. But even then, they’ll make sure to comment on our revelation while they’re out there, doing shot pe shot like it’s an invisibility potion. That’s completely okay, though. It’s just not something everyone wants to do.
Following are the troubles of being a non-drinker among drinker friends.
People often give you incredulous stares when you announce you don’t drink.
Loads of unwanted advice like “you get only one life, try to enjoy, man”.
Should we order milk for you?
Rs. 300 for a peg of cognac? No, Thank you.
Because not drinking in a party is like calling Dominos for a salad.
And you are the one to help your drunk friends when they pass out & drop them off to their homes safely.
You are appointed as the person to keep drunk dialing in check.
Because of course-you don’t drink. But chakna is cool too.
And enjoy the other more important things in life, like watching your drunk friends do ridiculous shit and record it.
After all, how else can you blackmail them in the future?
