I have made but people are strangely silent when it comes to my choosing to reduce my risk of recurrence by not drinking. ??
Hmm! When people who don't know me in a social situation and offer me a drink and I say no I don't drink it is highly amusing to see the reaction. Mostly people back off and some ask is it your religious belief? I just smile and say no I just don't like the taste nor smell of it. I will have a baileys at the end of a conference, late Saturday evening with my fellow organisers, once a year and that's it!
Isn't it funny how a social interaction can have a stigma attached? There is no fathoming reactions! Weird!
I'm happy!
Take care
