Don't drink?

[Guest]

I'm totally chill. Love meeting new people etc. I just happen to not drink. Is this a big deal in terms of the night before dinner with residents? I don't wanna come across as a killjoy, lol. Am I being too neurotic?

order a colored beverage like coke, few will take note of whether or not thetes rum in it.

Seltzer water with ice and lime. Looks like an alcholic drink and nicely refreshing!

Is this something residents would really look down upon? Just genuinely curious if people associate not drinking with being weird. I don't drink but enjoy socializing, have hobbies, watch sports, etc.

dood, just be yourself. not drinking does not equal to being weird. being overly neurotic about these things can come off as weird. just be yourself.

Yeah I mean there's nothing I can do to change it, obviously not going to have my first drink at a pre-interview dinner. My question was more about whether or not it's necessary to try to hide it as others have suggested (by ordering a colored drink, etc). I'd prefer to just drink water and that's what's I'll probably do.

No one cares if you drink or not.

Thanks, all we needed to know.

Just hold cheeseburger in your hand instead

Thanks guys lol. I was being neurotic it seems. I usually go with a coke anyways.

I'll hopefully laugh at all this in a few months.
