> I have a hard time saying no to a drink if everyone else is having a drink
Dig in deeper on this and then make yourself do it. It’s a good initial skill to hone.
The first thing is just saying no thanks when offered. This will be easier/harder depending on your friends. Ordering something nonalcoholic is a good. But next problem is being sober around your drunk friends isn’t usually such a fun thing. So you’ll ultimately need to just stay out of the bars, make friends that don’t drink that much, or alter your friend group nights.
