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.

      2. I don't drink alcohol. Mostly, I drink a lot of water. So, when there is a celebration, I use it as an excuse to drink a non-alcoholic beverage I don't usually have like a raspberry lemonade or a Coca Cola.

        1. Drinking water is so good for you in general. Choosing a non-alcoholic drink is a good choice!

        2. I like this idea! Treating yourself to a special drink doesn’t mean it has to be one with alcohol. -Julie (team member)
