How do you deal with celebrations and events centered around drinking?

As we know, every May 5th is Cinco De Mayo – a day of partying, celebrating, and out-of-this-world fun. As a community, we know limitations are greater for some, especially the drinking part. So today, it made me think...

How do you deal with celebrations and events centered around drinking? Are you able to drink alcohol? What limitations do you have and how do you stick to them? What challenges do you have when it comes to alcohol and socializing?

Remember, safety for us is everything.

  1. I don't drink, because of the epilepsy. But I never was drinker once I hit 21 anyways, I come from an Irish family, so we drank on Saint Patrick's Day no matter how old we were once we were a center age.

  2. Don’t drink alcohol

  3. I just respectfully do not paticapate in it.

  4. Avoid alcohol! The day after.drinking alcohol always triggers a seizure in me.
