In the early days, my parents kept me from drinking every day, so I didn't get into the habit of drinking. Later, I went to Jiangsu as an intern with the school, and immediately encountered "I am the only one who doesn't drink at dinner." The most embarrassing thing is that a busybody directly shouted that "people who don't smoke or drink can't make friends". I don't know how this theory came about, just like saying "I smoke and drink, so I am nobler than others", but later we did not become friends. Of course, there were other girls on the field at that time, and it was not only one who didn't drink. The leader didn't embarrass me and ordered milk directly.
Later, I got together much more, and I drank a lot of wine because I liked it. But it has never been said that "people who don't smoke or drink can't make friends". If I make friends by drinking, I may lose half of my friends. At a colleague's party, one of the five people refused to drink on the grounds of stomach trouble, which didn't matter, and everyone continued to eat and chat. However, in that dinner, he was the one who talked the least and was teased the most. But he always faces it with a smile, and he doesn't know whether it's a real smile or a lonely heart.
Go to a neighbor's house for a drink during the Chinese New Year. Just serve it! It's an old man's family. I'm really a little flustered when I think about my father's drinking in those days. This group of old drunks can't fight me to death! As a younger generation, I can't be a coward! So I took the initiative to take the wine, opened the bottle and poured it for everyone. When I came here one by one, something embarrassing happened: I was the only one drinking! After drinking the first cup, they turned over the cup to show that they would stop drinking! I don't drink with a hip flask, and I don't drink it. Fortunately, the old people are also very considerate to give me steps. "If you like to drink, drink slowly, don't worry about us. We also liked to drink when we were young, but now we can't drink it. Don't take it personally!" I don't drink at all! Drinking old people talking nonsense.
Later, I drank with my relatives in the same town. There were about 11 people at a table, all of whom were young people. Naturally, drinking was indispensable. But this time it was not me who refused to drink, but my brother, a burly brother. I was surprised, but someone asked me first, "Brother, why don't you drink?" The other brother replied, "He used to drink too much. Later, he drank too much and went to the hospital. His father stopped drinking, and he would be scolded if he drank it home!" Fat brother argued, "I'm not afraid of being scolded. It's boring to drink with you little scum. If you blow a bottle with me, I'll drink it!" I didn't answer it at once. Because it's home-brewed wine, no one can say for sure the degree. Plus, this bottle is not small, and no one dares to take the initiative. -
From never drinking to others not drinking to selective drinking, maybe this is growth!
