I am pretty much a teetotaler. I am not in AA, but in the past I attended Al Anon and ACOA. I find I have poor tolerance for booze and get hung over easily from small amounts. As we know, social drinking is prevalent. If I am out socially and encounter people who urge me to drink, I use my survivor status as an excuse for not drinking. I will probably have a beer at an Irish bar on St. Patrick's day (even though I am Italian), but just one.
