Hey there,

I think it's perfectly okay for you to not want to drink alcohol. Lots of people do drink, but you not wanting to is fine too! It shouldn't be about whether your friends drink or not, if you don't want to, don't feel pressurised into doing to too. I'm not a heavy drinker. I will have a little bit of something on occasion, but never have I been drunk, and I don't really plan in it either. Like you, I don't like the fact I wouldn't have control of my own body, and also there's much more of a chance of being embarrassed in some way. It's fine if that's not what you want and your friends do want, and it's not at all weird, so don't worry!

Take care,
Hollie.
