I hate being the “sober one” sometimes because I only ever get invited to go places with my friends so that I can make sure they don’t do dumb shit while drinking or just so that I can be the designated driver.

And a lot of these people I was friends with since before they started drinking and they’ve offered to let me drink with them but I just don’t feel the need/urge to do so and part of me has that thought of “I’d rather them be able to get home safe” but at the same time, I wish they would try to hang out with me outside of events they know they’re going to be drunk at

that’s pretty shitty. and i personally don’t think good friends encourage you to drink. not drinking is good for you all around
