Dude, i kind of love the awkward silence and look i get when i dead pan tell people im an alcoholic when im out and not ordering beers and they ask why not. Usually theyre like noooo, you’re messing around right. Nope! Not one bit buddy. I used to drink like a fish and then some! They leave me alone after that.

This is an inspiring story, and I’m thankful that you chose to share it. I really hope that I find more like minded individuals whom will give that kind of support to tell you how to explain not drinking to your comrades in the comradarie.
This is wonderful.

Going back to this restaurant tonight…a friend remembered I am getting with in days of my 6 month point and my Birthday. Amazing what a few months brings…if she drinks…I have no worries, not making up any stories…not yelling out loud that I have diarrhea…I am just simply not going to drink…unfortunately that isn’t as funny of a story.

But brilliant to remind us of this thread and the OP. Which is a very funny story!
Might you be tempted to yell out some other gross bodily function, just for old times sake?
