11 annoying things that people who don’t drink alcohol are sick of hearing
. I’ve only been teetotal for four years but, even in that short time, I’ve noticed a huge cultural shift. Sure, there’s more choice at the bar and more bars to choose from, but what’s really changed is that now people couldn’t care less when you tell them you don’t drink. That wasn’t always the case, though.My reason for stopping drinking is nothing special, I’m afraid.
“Oh. Right. I mean, I don’t drink drink. I’ve cut down a lot. I could do it, though. Easy. Definitely.”one-fifth of UK drinkers are cutting down “I’ve had problems with depression and my borderline personality disorder, and alcohol is one of my triggers”Saturday mornings, remember those? At first, you’ll start going to Parkrun so you can timestamp your 9am Instagram story. Then you’ll realise that it’s actually quite fun and everyone’s lovely and you’ll go all the time. Parkrun comes for us all…Ah, sober dating. It’s mostly fine, but “let’s meet for a drink” is still very much the first date default. Personally, I don’t care.
This one’s a bit niche, I realise. But I never thought I’d hear it. I took up savate, a kickboxing sport, initially as something to replace the booze with. Four years later, I’m alive and kicking at a nice and safe semi-contact level for Queenie and country. And I’m not saying you have to give up alcohol to be a British champion. The point is you never know what you might be capable of.
