I get asked on occasion why I don& #39;t drink to get drunk, or be around drunk people much... When I was a kid alcoholism ran on one side of my family. This generally resulted in some scary moments as a kid. When I got older I dabbled in booze myself. Generally resulting in a lot

Of mistakes myself. As I got older I found that being around drunk people brought back many triggers and bad memories from my childhood. Generally making me very anxious. There& #39;s deeper stories I won& #39;t get into her obviously. Now as I& #39;m even older, Ive learned moderation when

drinking. I can have a beer and say thats fine. Soon as I see anyone in my circle getting drunk I just leave that situation. Too many bad memories to deal with mentally. So that people have a better understanding of my reasoning, that& #39;s why I made this post.
