How I Got Away from Peer Pressure of Addiction

Yesterday, a school mate invited me to a party. I don't go to parties because i don't drink or smoke. But he insisted so I went there just to meet friends. There were almost all my friends at party. All my classmates, both boys & girls drinking, smoking.

Everyone started asking me why I don't drink or smoke and that I am missing out on best experience. One of them started forcing me to drink just one can of beer as it won't hurt. Here's exactly what I said (in my native language) and shut their mouth:

"I don't drink or smoke because its boring. I am still young and I plan to enjoy my young hood by doing much more interesting things that i won't be able to do when i am 80 years old. I plan to fuck 1000 girls, have 3,4,5-some, learn to fly helicopter, go skydiving, scoobadiving and a lot other things. I will think about smoking and drinking when i can't get on my feet. I might even sniff cocaine off some hooker's ass when I am 80 and done with my life"

I don't know how they felt after this but i don't care. Don't do anything because of peer pressure. If you want to drink then drink, don't force others. Drinking or not drinking won't make you a winner or loser. If you are young, focus on things you can do right now. Drinking and smoking can be done when you are done with your life goals.

Haha, bit of an overkill but at least you got the message across. If you are ever in those situations, just say you are training for a fitness competition, or you're on medication and can't drink.

Yeah according to the 95% of the total population, drinking and smoking is the way to enjoy life lmao.

Even I don't smoke and drink. Only coffee and green tea.

I will try to live the best life I can till my last breath.

Please be so kind to share what you do on weekends?
How do you do not drink if you go out of parties?
Many times I also take it when I go out and in the end I realize that I do not get any benefit with that.

Well same, but I'm in a luckier situation : when I go out with friends (almost every saturday) they might drink (not smoking) just a glass of beer and stop. They have never forced me, they even say it's better that i actually do not drink. So, you shouldn't even consider the people you mention, friends

only one of them was friend (he didn't force me), others were just classmates.

Damn 1000 girls and 5 somes. I need to stop drinking and smoking right away!

Didn't you post that FOMO thread a few days ago?

Loosen up a bit. One or two beers with your mates will not stop you from achieving your goals. That's not even getting drunk.. its out of respect to have a drink with them.

Also, these are going to be some of the most memorable years of your life which you won't be
able to replicate once you get older.

Christ. Did you tip your fedora afterwards as well? I don't smoke, and I'm not a big drinker outside of a few rum and cokes a few times a year. But anyone who talks like that is probably lucky they got invited to a party in the first place.

don't drink if you don't feel like to.
live your life the way you want.

I drink occasionally but need this!

Great minds think alike!

friends pressure is one of the reason i started to drink. but no regret.

it just came out of my mouth when that guy forced me. I don't always talk shit to people. i understand people drink and i am okay with it as long as they don't try to pour it down my throat

It's a hard road. You're doing great

well ..
