Don't do anything like that. Don't drink either. Life is interesting enough when sober. Can't say I haven't had a few drinks before, when I was much younger, but don't like the way it makes me feel and act. My hubby does tell a funny story about one time a few years ago when we went to Mexico on our motorcycles and I was not planning on drinking, but I was thirsty, afraid to drink the water, or Coke with ice in it, and a brother-in-law kept buying margaritas, and I ended up having a couple. I was singing to Tejano music while riding on the back of my husband's bike back to South Padre. Gotta admit, that was kinda fun.

Even though I don't drink now, I don't have a big problem with others who drink as long as they don't over indulge & get drunk. It's not fun to be sober in a room full of people who are high or drunk. They think they are so interesting, funny, sexy, or whatever. You can't even have a fun conversation with them. We have chosen to not socialize with people who do these things. All of our friends are non-drinkers now.

Honestly, though some might find it hard to believe, life is much simpler this way. And at this stage in life, I'm all for simplicity.
