Question:

Am I too judgmental about drinking? Or getting drunk?

I go to a fairly liberal college, so there is a lot of drinking on the campus... especially on the weekends at the Frat houses. I don't drink too often....

I just completed freshman year, and the first time to ever get drunk was the end of the first semester. Now, I had a lot of fun while being drunk, but it seemed like some people were worried about me that night. Then this summer I studied in a different country, and I got drunk 2 times at a bar with my fellow classmates... and then one time at a friend's house. So I've been drunk a few times, but I was very much comfortable at those times. And they were all spaced apart, for the most part.

Now here is the reason I want to ask if I'm too judgmental. At a camp this summer, my fellow counselors got drunk on the last day, but I didn't (I drank a bit though)... and I felt mighty uncomfortable around them. I wasn't really enjoying myself, so I didn't know if I was just really tired or if I just really don't like when people get drunk.

Then a few days ago, I called my ex to wish her a happy birthday, and she told me she had spent the night before toasting to her birthday... a.k.a. getting drunk... I suddenly got very upset/sad. This would be only her 2nd time getting drunk. And she plans to drink/get drunk more often now.

I don't know why... Why am I feeling like this? Am I being judgmental? I've gotten drunk before, but I've never been so uncomfortable about it until now. Can some of you give me some insight? Thanks.

  1. Sorry to tell you but you're being a hypocrite, not judgmental. If it is OK for you to drink, it is OK for others to do so as well.

    As far as not have fun while other were drinking...that was a choice you made. Subconsciously, but still a choice. This one of my biggest pet peeves with non-drinkers and recovering alcoholics. "I can't have fun." BULLS##T! You just decided not to have fun.


  2. Everybody is allowed to have their own feelings about drinking. You are just changing and getting different values than maybe some of your old friends.  If you are uncomfortable drinking then just don't  but i wouldn't be to pompous about just  do your think and let others do theirs
