Thank you so much for this wonderful resource! This piece is so relatable and I have definitely been asked (and judged) when I choose not to drink. And it can be exhausting to have to justify it. I really appreciate your helpful tips to how to swerve peer pressure for when we just don't feel like directly addressing it.

"No" is a complete sentence is such an important affirmation and one that we need to accept in ourselves and in others more often!

And I definitely also agree that those who really care about our well-being would respect our boundaries with drinking and would not pressure us or make us feel weird for not drinking.
