Almost everything in media and entertainment, especially the music industry, seems to be becoming a living ode to booze and its greatness. From Bollywood to Punjabi to even rap music, anybody and everybody is constantly humming about the greatness of alcohol and its after-effects.
However, have you ever thought how difficult the life of a non-drinker is, at any possible social gathering? From a celebratory event to even some Irish guy’s funeral, it seems that a non-drinker just can’t enjoy any gathering without being over it as soon as everyone starts getting tipsy. If you’re also a non-drinker then you’ll perfectly agree on everything stated here because let’s be real, sometimes it’s hard being a non-drinker among a group of friends who just love alcohol.
You have to put up with a lot of drama and unnecessary discussion with a bunch of out-of-their-minds and out-of-their-senses people. Who can make a drunk man stand on their feet again, definitely not a non-drinker yet, they’re always the one doing it.
Which is why we have decided to spill some truth about how a non-drinker feels in life. Here are 10 things that every non-drinker will relate to:
1. You’re always the designated driver because let’s be real who else can be?
2. You’re tired of explaining the reason behind you not consuming alcohol to a bunch of drunk people at a party.
3. More than that, you’re tired of dodging every person who wants you to just taste it once with them.
4. Sometimes you consider pretending to drink just to get people off your back.
5. You get stuck with herding your drunk friend around and taking care of them, no matter how much you love them, it gets annoying after a time.
6. Now you’re just uncomfortable with being around a bunch of alcohol-loving people at any given party or event.
7. You’re now well-versed with some really interesting answers to the question, “what do you do for fun?”
8. You get to save a lot in life, just because there’s no booze money that you have to shed every month when you’re out for partying.
9. Sometimes your friends plan a gathering of their own with all the booze and don’t ask you out for it, because, well, you’re a non-drinker.
10. However, in the end, it’s all worth it, because you wake up in the morning hangover and guilt-free, while others are tripping over everything they did last night.
So, are we right? Or are we RIGHT??
