I was very fortunate that the last company I worked at had a lot of people who also didn’t drink. It was nice as we were in a start up culture where it was still very much encouraged to have a few drinks at happy hour.

But when I have to decline a drink, people are very offended. It always makes me think that they take it as a personal attack if you don’t drink because they know that it’s not good for you.

And congrats on your long term sobriety! I’ll be at a year in June and I’m pretty excited. :)
