Thanks @choogirl. It's funny you sometimes where the 'peer' pressure comes from as well. I found older family members were bemused about my decision and tried to force me to drink at family occasions! Then when travelling for work, I would be anxious about dinners with my host, as inevitably they would offer a drink. They would sometimes be offended at my refusal which led to the mental health conversation.... Sometimes now I just say "I won't but you go for it, don't feel funny about drinking in front of me if you would like something". I think it helps most of the time....
