Does anyone have tips regarding attending social events, such as happy hours with coworkers and express that drinking isn’t my preference?
With me being the only one on my team who doesn’t drink, it causes me to stick out, and others constantly question why I’m not drinking.
It kind of deters me from attending work events, but I know there’s a lot of benefitting in being around.

Why don’t you drink? I don’t drink but I go to the happy hours. Coworkers ask me why I don’t drink and I just tell them I don’t want to drink. I just keep drinking cola and my coworkers don’t care that I don’t drink. I didn’t feel any pressure to drink even when I was a staff. Coworker asks me if it’s a religious reason that I don’t drink but I tell them it’s a personal choice not to drink for me. If it’s a happy hour setup by the firm then coworkers cannot make fun of you for not drinking since it’s a firm event.

Is this normal? I am not provided time to review the materials before I file them so I end up working longer days because I am nervous to file something using my name and bar number.

I started going to work in the office 2x per week now and there are a few (male, senior) colleagues who comment on my appearance, I.e. pointing out I have makeup on/wear office attire or not.

I always come back with a comment to shut them up in a humourous way (haha), usually something like "thank god we're just talking about me and not your looks, Adam".

But I think it's beyond unprofessional and really annoys me.
Why do some men think they are entitled to comment on a woman's looks?

My husband and I regularly attend (virtually lately) a church we love, however there’s not a great way for us to connect by way of a small group (We’re in our late 20s and I’d say the average age in our church is 50 so all the groups are geared towards parents with adult children, things like that). How do you find ways to connect outside of church?

My 5yr old son and 3 yr old daughter love watching Ryan’s World videos. My son said it will be awesome if Ryan can come to our church. I’m not sure if Ryan is a Christian. I told my son that we should pray that Ryan will get to know Jesus and he could one day come to our church. Now Ryan and his family is included in our prayer every night before going to sleep. I never thought about praying for the people that are in the videos my kids watch. Jesus can use Ryan to change world.
