Drinking at 36, versus drinking at 26. 26 • A terrifying combination of freedom, financial flexibility, and minimal repercussions. • Bottle service sounds great. • Ceramic tile floors are fine to sleep on. • You're an alcohol-fueled machine that can't be stopped. 36 • A terrifying combination of anxiety, financial burden, and internal pain. • "Going out" is not an option. • Personal queen size bed is a pre-requisite. • You're an anxiety-ridden disaster that needs anti-depressants, 11 coffees, and to be left alone for 72 hours. Was it worth it? Ask me again in 72 hours.

Events that focus on alcohol are not inclusive 🛑 Yep, even the Xmas ho down. ESPECIALLY the Festive Frenzy, actually, because what's more triggering than Christmas... ... a whole lot of rhetorical nothing, my peachy pals 🎄 So, as you plan that footloose and fancy foray, here are a few things to consider: ⚡️Focus as much (if not more) on providing brilliant AF options ↳ and not just orange juice from concentrate. ⚡️Think about entertainment beyond Barry from finances' drunk antics ↳ a pub or bar doesn't cut it. ⚡️Weave in some culinary delights. ↳crisps and mince pies are not it. ⚡️Have a zero pressure policy. ↳if you hear someone ladel on the 'oh you don't drink, whyyyyyyy?', call them on it. This is important enough to post about from the jungle. What else am I missing?

In the weeks leading up to & including #Christmas, we might be more likely to be socialising with friends & family. For many, this means drinking #Alcohol. But some people might not want to - & that's their decision. Keeping your drinking at 14 units per week or less is safest.
