In the Axios newsletter, I get every day, there was an article about “Damp January,” where people are just cutting back or not doing “Dry January.”
There was a section on how to answer “Why aren’t you drinking?” As someone who drinks maybe twice a year, I’m asking you not to ask. Oh, and people ask! I don’t understand why they ask, but they take affront to it.
People have their reasons for not drinking or they just don’t feel like it that night. You don’t want me to bring the mood down by explaining that alcoholism runs in my family and that I’m good with my tea. So, if someone at your event or dinner says “no thanks” when you offer wine, if they don’t already have a beverage, “let me know if I can get you anything” is the response to give. Trust me, it’s perfect and always welcome.
And no, Im not judging you you’re having a glass of wine. We’re good.
Everyone, enjoy whatever kind of January you want!
