It’s really not a big deal unless you make it one. For context, woman here I don’t drink and I’ve never had an issue. Just don’t be the person standing around without a beverage in their hand. I usually get seltzer water or soda and can mingle easily with everyone.

Do people really make a big deal about not drinking? I thought that was a college thing

Get a bottle of beer and ask for a glass. Pour half of the bottle into the glass and discreetly dispose the glass somewhere. You now have a half bottle to walk around with. If confronted, say you’re sticking to one drink because you have to go to the gym/date(or dinner with SO)/poker/gala later. Or just be honest and say alcohol makes you [some adjective].

Need advice & perspectives: I got a verbal review from my manager saying he couldn’t see me as senior cuz I didn’t follow the design doc format he mandates from all designers. While I have been the only designer who does almost everything from design, UI asset creation, wiring up UI in Unity (I am in mobile gaming).
Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
Am I crazy for thinking him a bad manager?
