That's the stereotype.

At the same time, you don't want to go against the grain.

Right?

I don't think I would have anything either.

And that's the thing is because you don't have the simple tips and tricks that you can use to not put yourself in that.

Well, I don't want to come off as something I don't think I am.

I think I'm fun.

I think I'm social.

I like to hang out with people.

So something like, you know what?

I decided to take a month off.

Or, you know what, I decided I'm not drinking on weekdays because then it doesn't say I'm not someone who drinks, right?

It's just I've made that choice.

And you'd be shocked how many people, like the person said, hey, I'm having a drink.

We're at a table with a bunch of people and we're like, okay, fine.

And then everyone sees two people do it.

And you're like, okay, there's a lot of pressure building as they come to you.

And what will you have?

sir, like I'll have what they're having, you know, is just the ability to say something like, you know what, I've decided to take a month off or whatever.

And no one's going to say something's wrong with you.
