I don't think that it matters what anyone else around you is doing, if you don't feel like drinking, then don't drink. It is your choice, and you should never let anyone else influence you into doing something you don't want to do. Peer pressure can be a very dangerous thing....and it's so easy for people to get "sucked in" these days because they want to fit in. But stand out, be you, make decisions based off of what YOU want to do, stick to your principles!

Yes, It is normal to not drink on the weekends, as drinking is a matter of individual choice and one need not compare with others.

For the alcoholic not drinking at all is the only answer. Keeping away from alcohol as much as possible is also very helpful. But there is always going to be occasions where you cant avoid alcohol. A wedding or birthday may be such a time. In those situations it is best to have some one keep a good eye on you. Your wife or work friend perhaps.

Drinking is a personal choice, it's perfectly normal not to drink on the weekends, the less you drink the better!

Of course, you should never do anything you don't want to do just because others are doing it. Be your own person, and don't let anyone change that.

That is perfectly normal I think it's become such a generic thing to do that people may feel odd not to drink on weekends. but it's nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of. And a lot of people who drink on weekends don't just enjoy the quite drink so in actual fact you could be helping out your health.

Quite a lot of people don't drink at all, not just on weekends ;) I think it's because of the popular image of weekends, young people, etc. that we imagine that it's something that most people do. It's less easy to notice the flocks of people (myself included) who aren't out drinking :) There are crowds for each part of the spectrum, from drinking nothing to passed out on the couch :P

It is completely normal! Just because everyone else seems to be doing something, that doesn't mean you have to and it doesn't mean its not normal for you not to go along with them. Doing what you feel is best for you is normal!

Absolutely. We can still have fun without getting drunk. Endorphins! They are a natural drug. Alcohol is not the party
