It's frustratingly normalized to the point where NOT drinking requires defense. Nobody has been an outright asshole to me about it, but they're usually shocked when I say zero alcohol.

Much more chill than it was just two years ago even. Starting to become normalized to have the option. Wasn’t this easy when I started 9 years ago. Not drinking is getting a lot easier in social settings with different options / less pressure from what I’m experiencing. Or I just put out different energy around the topic when it’s my turn. Maybe both.
