I don't drink any more for the same reasons. There's plenty of people who don't drink at all due to whatever choices like religion, health, etc.
If people ask I just say "nah I don't drink because of health complications" 99.9% of people don't push any further. I just order water or a soda if I'm feeling it. What im drinking isn't anyone's concern.
The weird part is thinking you're appearing weird. Literally noone cares. Go have fun.
Yeah, I think this is how it is. I think I'm appearing weird even though people probably cares less than I think. I guess it is why I wrote this question. I'd like to know how people got over this phase and stopped worrying. Blaming health complications feels somehow dramatic... but maybe I'll use that one if someone really pushes and it's half true in my case anyway.
