It's so frustrating that every single team outing we have has to be in a bar. Not that I can't control myself around alcohol.. I've tried it once when I was 20 and then never touched it, and never wanted to. But it's when the drunk co workers start coaxing you into drinking and you have to explain you don't, that it gets annoying. I wish it were normal to celebrate in restaurants or bowling alleys. Do you have to deal with this? How do you make the situation work for you?
