Most used line by my friends in social situations:
"oh, just one drink won't hurt"
Second most used line:
"they say a glass of wine a day is healthy for you, why would you go against that?"
It was hard for my friends to accept that I had removed alcohol from my life mostly because I did not want to be influenced by a substance anymore. But they finally stopped asking, and its much easier to spend time out now. I am sure because my mental conviction in the beginning to give it up 100% was not completely solid, and that allowed for the peer pressure to bother and influence me more.
