I would add that I used to agonize about what I would say when people asked me why I wasn't drinking until I realized that this doesn't happen nearly as often as I thought it would. When it does, I usually just say I don't like the way alcohol makes me feel anymore which is hard to argue with. Try thinking about being sober at an event where the majority are drinking as a superpower. Everyone else is running around drinking a substance that makes them LESS wise, witty, and attractive while you're just hanging out being your best, REAL, authentic self. Awkward maybe, but being awkward is soooo much better than slurring, puking, being obnoxious, etc. right? I'll end with the advice that you can rest assured that it will eventually get easier- SO MUCH EASIER. And yes, the JOY of waking up after a party without a hangover never gets old.
