Hi, I am a frosh and I abstain from alcohol for personal reasons. The problem is, all of the parties and social events I go to involve either drinking alcohol, or chugging alcohol as part of a drinking game. I feel completely awkward in these situations, as I'm not sure how to deal with this problem.
I don't want to drink just to fit in, but it's harder to socialize with people at parties. What's worse is that I don't feel safe when I'm around people that are drinking. So, my question is: what can I do to become more social and engaging at parties without drinking alcohol? Really big thanks to any advice out there!
