I’ll drink at get togethers, whether it’s a house party or a wedding, a pool day or a birthday. Once in a rare while my husband and I will have a couple of glasses of wine on a date, but usually it’s a group activity for me.

I see a lot of people saying they don’t like to feel out of control or that they don’t like being around drunk people. I like both! I think it’s very fun to be a little less inhibited, I think it’s fun to feel a little wobbly, I think it’s fun to get a little grabby and goofy with my husband. I also like being around drunk people! Idk, all the people in my life who drink all just get more fun to be around, not less. More likely to play a game, or do something spontaneous, or spill a secret. It’s all fun! It’s like the difference between going for a walk and going to a carnival! I guess carnivals aren’t for everyone. There have been years of my life where I couldn’t drink (medications, pregnancies, breastfeeding) and I still liked being around people who drink. I have friends who don’t drink, and they can be fun too, but idk. My buddies playing music or seeing who can cartwheel best or playing truth or dare drunk is more fun.
