I Don't Drink Tonight. I'm Not Drinking Tonight.

If you feel comfortable saying, I don't drink, please say that because that normalizes people not drinking in any context. You never know who's listening and who might feel empowered to say no. If they continue to talk about it after you've asked them not to, after you've set the yellow boundary, then you excuse yourself from the table. And if you are comfortable being uncomfortable for two half hours and just biting your tongue until it bleeds, knowing that you didn't win is so important.
