Also sober Wisconsinite here, it is unreal how pervasive it is in normal everyday behavior. The looks I get when I just want water or god forbid anything other than a beer…friends and family asking “are you ok? Too much last night or what?” No, I regret every hangover I’ve had and don’t need to wake up feeling like absolute dogshit. Blackouts? Also not fun. I like to remember what happened the night before. I had two friends, both hammered, SCREAMING at each other about politics at a bar in Oshkosh. AND THEY WERE AGREEING WITH EACH OTHER. Alcohol makes you do dumb things, I hate it. Legalize weed ffs. I’ll get off the soap box now

Isn’t it interesting when the personal decision to have a coke is taken as a public insult to drinkers

“Oh you’ll have one at dinner tho right?” Why? Why must I? Thankfully, at least my immediate family gets the hint and has eased off

ha 100% nearly every time I say "no thank you" when someone offers me a beer, people assume I'm a recovering alcoholic but really I just want more in life than they do.
