Question

Think about this scenario....

Trapped with people who are drinking? Most people have been there at one time or another – you don’t want to drink, but everyone around you is drinking. In a paragraph, tell how you would handle such a situation, from
trying to enjoy yourself without alcohol to getting home safely. How might you avoid this situation?

Answer 1

In a scenario where I'm surrounded by people who are drinking, I would focus on engaging in the social aspects of the gathering without feeling pressured to drink. I would order non-alcoholic beverages, perhaps sparkling water or a mocktail, to fit in while enjoying the atmosphere. To avoid any awkwardness, I might share that I’m taking a break from alcohol or simply don’t feel like drinking that night. To ensure I get home safely, I would plan ahead by arranging for a designated driver, using a rideshare app, or staying overnight at a friend’s place. To avoid such situations in the future, I would choose social events that promote alternative activities, like game nights or outdoor outings, where drinking is less of a central focus.
