Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

You can get used to it, but don't force yourself either. If you feel really uncomfortable there are also a growing number of zero alcohol beverages which should taste something like their alcoholic equivalents. You can also try mixing alcoholic beverages with sodas or seltzer water. But more than anything Just do what you are most comfortable with.
If that means not drinking at all that's cool. I've been there as well where I've had friends egging me to get blackout drunk and most of the time I just don't drink much. Luckily I've also had other friends who know me well enough to take some of the pressure off when someone is trying to get me to drink too.
