I don't like drinking as much as my coworkers/team members and I'm worried that they think I'm uptight when I drink only 1 drink in the time they drink 3 or 5

8 years in the industry and haven’t touched one drink. They made fun of me and I made fun of myself with them. Self deprecating humor will help you navigate without coming off as uptight. That being said, try not to care about what people think.

I’ve never noticed someone not drinking. And if I did, I always admired their restraint. Don’t think about it. I’m sure they aren’t

No one notices the number of drinks someone is having

Only alcoholics (or problem drinkers) notice. Because they want others to drink as much as they do. I didn’t l realize I was doing this until I quit. And now I don’t drink at all. Do what’s best for you, and don’t ever feel badly about it. 💪🏼

They probably won’t notice, and if they do, so what?
