As I dont drink but dont like to stop any one as tanya said that its personal choice:smile:. If we start looking others then every time we have to do that. Regarding drinking, in germany at least no one is bother whether you drink or not. Even some time they really like that. Ask your Neeraj:roll: he may be having similar opinion about germans. I do agree with <strike>techie </strike> that we should give the company without taking any alcoholic drink. keep it up your thoughts and its really nice to see others view:grin: Have fun Neeraj Hi poonam,

I am glad that you think that I am doing the right thing. I feel that its necessary to listen to yourself before listening or getting into pressure by others. Thanks for your thoughts. :smile: Sahi hai <strong>Tanya</strong>. Bilkul sahi. :smile: Mere ko maloom hai ke tum kiski baat kar rahe ho. :razz: Anyway, no one should force any other to do something that they are uncomfortable in doing...chahe drinking ho yaa kuch aur. Well said -- Meri Marzi! :smile: Good to hear Deepak. I am glad that you think that I am doing the right thing.

But, I don't force or even utter a word to people who drink, to stop drinking. And, I expect the same from these people. If I don;t want to drink, I DON'T WANT TO. PERIOD. Nobody should say anything to me... its my life.. and its my choice! As somebody put it above, MERI MARZI! :) I personally don’t like drinking.

Though I am a social drinker, I dont drink on certain days, and if a party/dinner falls on that day,it becomes tough for me to explain. I know its a bit illogical to drink one day , and refrain on certain others...but so be it! aisa hi hoon main! and since my conviction does not allow it, so i dont...to hell with the world on that! So, rest assured, what u r doing is correct and the most right thing! You should do everything that your conviction tells you to do!

Not all Indian women feel that worried about drinking (maybe becoming part of this American business professional culture) because our senior manager was telling about an Indian girl, part of my group, who he had gone to a business dinner and basically she was drunk. Yep business dinners are all about order as much as you can, eat as much as you can, and drink twice as much as you have ordered. Other people should mind their own business. :smile: Nice thoughts! Oh dear <strong>Rashuuu</strong>...great one! :smile: I will keep that in mind the next time I am in this situation. :wink: Thanks Puneet. :smile:

Somehow that sounds really nice and smart and sophisticated and if you say it with the right amount of bite to it.... they won't dare question you further. **hugs** hey punnu…. when someone asks why don’t you drink?… just say that you like to be in complete control of your senses.

Whenever I go for public meetings, I always order a non-alcoholic beverage. I really have not come to a situation where someone has questioned me why I don't drink, but I could see the weird looks on their faces wondering what's wrong with this girl! What I have seen is that when we meet clients, since the company pays for our lunch/dinner, most of the employees want to take advantage of that and order the best. So I guess it's hard for them to believe that why I don't order a good wine or some other alcoholic beverage. But then, I guess it's the values instilled in us. Though I don't see anything wrong with women (Indian) having alcohol (as long as it's within the limits), but if someone does not, then others should better mind their own business and not become nosey!
