Need Some Quick Peer Pressure Advice!!!

Prognosticator · 10-12-2006, 03:56 PM

So I just heard that "the boss'' (founder of the company I work at) is shutting the place down @ 4:45 today in order to buy everyone Margarritas because one of the women here just found out her cancer is completely gone....

....Problem is, I don't drink!

And if I did, I'd probably be an alchoholic. That's one of the biggest reasons I don't do it. It's not for me, period.

But I"m kinda new here at my job and I don't want to seem ungrateful or piss anyone off for not going?!?

So what do i do here??? Come on folks, advise me:

Go and have iced tea. It looks like a drink but doesnt have alcohol

**DOG LIPS** · 10-12-2006, 03:59 PM

Go, and when no one is looking, just empty it out under your chair. Keep laughing a lot too.

SuperFerret · 10-12-2006, 04:00 PM

Just tell them you don't drink. Most people tend to understand.

Erzengel · 10-12-2006, 04:01 PM

Do you need someone to dress you?

Have you ever been out in a social situation before?

My goodness, I'm sure a bar will have coke, oj and other things they mix with liquor.

Why don't you ask for a milk with ice?

jaguarr · 10-12-2006, 04:04 PM

Have an Ovaltine and go hang out. Tell them you don't drink and if they ask why say "I just don't". They'll think you're a religious freak and slowly and secretly ostracize you. Have fun!

you don't drink? what the **** is wrong with you.

Sabretooth · 10-12-2006, 04:07 PM

If you do decide to drink,don't go for the Lite crap.

ampersand · 10-12-2006, 04:09 PM

More importantly, you're 23 and have never been in this situation before?

You take that back! My great uncle invented Lite beer

Dorian Gray · 10-12-2006, 04:10 PM

I doubt anyone will care weather you drink or not....

Wilhelm-Scream · 10-12-2006, 04:11 PM

Walk around a lot with your drink, surreptitiously spitting mouthfuls in plants, garbage cans, where ever you can without being seen.

Next, bear down with your guts so your face and eyes will get red, be really forward and hit on any females who are out of your league, insult your boss in a friendly way and at the end of the night start singing old sea shantys really loud and hugging anyone within reach.
Then they won't find out what a scaredy-cat wuss you are.

To make this approach truly convincing, he'll have to throw up on the lady who just got over her cancer.

Hahaha, we had this work dinner and they brought out the deserts and this co-worker started flipping out, "Is there RUM in this?!? Taste this, do you taste RUM?!?" and he gave it to me and 2 other people, "Is there RUM in this?!? Do you think that's just flavoring or is that real RUM?!?"
And we all went, "Yeah, tastes like rum in there."
And he went off on this huge story about how he can't even smell alcohol or he might lose control and booze would ruin his life again and how that one piece of cake could've triggered a devastating alcoholic binge and he yelled at the waitress for not warning people that there's rum in the cake.

Hahahaha, I, think he should've just shut up and gotten the sorbet, 'cause now we're all waiting for him to be 3 hours late for work or just not show up for a week or come in with a shotgun wasted or something.

No it wont. Because I said so.

amazingfantasy15 · 10-12-2006, 04:17 PM

Have you had a "problem" before, is that why you don't drink yet or do you think alcohol is that addictive.

Go out for a little bit, have a coke or two, when they ask why you're drinking cokes instead of Margaritas, just say you don't drink or say you have to drive home or somewhere later. It's better to go out and not have alcoholic drinks, then not going out at all.

Don't give in. I very much respect that you do not drink. Simply tell them you prefer not to consume this type of beverage and then politely drink a glass of water or whatever other drink you see fit for this particular occasion. I'm sure they will understand, as most reasonable people do.

Yeah you gotta be careful. After the 2nd beer, you are officially an Alcoholic.

Better not have sex either. One night of nookie will make you a ****.

You should all get him a nice bottle of Scotch for Christmas.
