People made the assumption it had something with it and stopped harassing me. These days, I am less bothered by what people think of my choices.

After recently giving up the drink, I've taken to having a purple J20 in a wine glass, which stops people asking me why I'm not drinking so much. I think what contributed to the decision to give up was a Sunday residency I've been doing, watching people falling all over the place at 4pm on a Sunday has an ironically sobering effect...

Hopefully, one day we'll see the tide turning towards responsible drinking. Fingers crossed.

I myself have a strange love for pink wine (fixxy, non-fizzy, I am not picky...), which I drink for taste and have to avoid drinking like juice. Other than this, however, both Ben and I barely drink. I just don't real see the point, and now have terrible hangovers following excessive uni days. I just don't really need a drink to have fun nowadays. I just wrote a post related to this acually, about teenage drinkers. It really is a hot topic on everyones lips at the moment, isn't it? Not ridiculous in the slightest.
