Why not make it explicit to your friends that they are welcome to drink even if you're not drinking? I was at a BBQ yesterday, everyone was pissed, I just drank water... that wasn't a problem.

Just don't rub your non-drinking in people's faces, and let them drink as much as they want.



Well, they'd come to visit me on a Friday night for a drink, but when I wasn't drinking, they'd ring another friend that was going out for a drink if you see what I mean. I think they were afraid that if they came to me, they'd have to drink tea and watch youtube video's all night or something.


Simple solution is to invite them round, give them some beers, and sit down with your orange juice and be your usual self :-)

Not drinking doesn't mean you can't have a well stocked drinks cabinet/fridge!
