Aren't you like on your second liver?
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I guess I haven't been to a ton of weddings, but I can only think of one where there was a bar. And that couple is still married... but they go to AA every day now and I'm dead serious.

So you guys can paint me as a judgmental prick if you want, but you're the ones coping by making drinking at a family function normal or intolerable without an impaired mindset. Srs.
So your own wedding, your sister who I'm sure you're close to, and your own son.


Yeah, you're probably not going to be bored out of your mind at those.
I'm back, bitches!

I didn't say I wasn't bored. I get bored all the time, just like anybody else.

My point is that I don't consider impairing my mental faculties to be a solution to boredom. You seem to think it's essential in certain situations. I think you're coping.

My Brother had this 20 years ago at his wedding. His (ex)wife's father was an alcoholic. My Dad and half the wedding party spent 50% of the time in the parking lot drinking beers and doing shots. I was still a teen and got wasted

Lmfao at the absolute cringe I'm reading from the sober boys still.

It seems impossible for the anti alcohol crowd to understand that weddings are just simply more fun with booze. Period.

Their only way to cope with their boring ass weddings to paint anyone who wants to get drunk at a wedding as alcoholics or alcohol dependant to be social. Lmao, so much cope.


Theres a reason 99 percent of weddings are open bar. Because most people want to drink at weddings.

If your family likes to be sober and doesn't want to have boose at weddings, good for them, but you are the minority, and I promise anyone who isn't in your immediate family doesn't really want to go to your wedding reception.

If anyone invites me to a dry wedding I'm going to the ceremony, and stopping by the reception to eat, then I'm out. Enjoy your stiff ass dance floor and not having any drunk bridesmaides for me to embarrass myself in front of. Sorry not sorry, it just sounds like a boring event.

Also lmao, if your wedding is dry, so is the wedding gift I give. If I can't drink the cost of my gift at your reception you are getting a **** tier gift.

It's kind of funny to see the angry responses from challenging people's drinking behavior.

Do what you want. Just don't expect me to pretend like it's good for you or that it's no big deal. You only get one brain, and you're killing brain cells when you drink. For what? To avoid boredom?

And highly triggered at anyone who challenges you on it.

It's kind of lulzy how defense some are getting itt - especially since, whether they like to admit it or not, there is certainly some truth to what you're saying (and I'm not exactly a teetotaler myself, but I can be honest about the subject).

There is zero truth in that statement, either in the number of women I slept with or in my age.

I'm also not anti-drinking. I'm not even anti-drinking at a wedding. I just don't do it, and obviously neither do the people in the original post. I do recognize cope when I see it though.

Do what you want.

Addicts who haven't come to terms with their problem tend to get pretty upset and defensive when called out on it.

Do people really have fun at weddings? A long ceremony, boring speeches that all sound the same, food is usually okay.

Only one in recent memory I had a lot of fun at was with a live band that was absolutely awesome, but there was booze there too.

How many alcoholics can one family have? Its not like he is marrying in to the pesoli family after all.

Alcoholcels are in here having a full meltdown. Every wedding I have gone to has had alcohol, but it'd be the same for me if they didn't. If you need alcohol to have fun, you're not having fun, you're just numbing the fact that you're a boring loser with that alcohol.

People can do whatever they want for their wedding. It's their day and if you don't want to go for whatever reason, I'd hope they are mature enough to know everyone's time is valuable and don't get offended if some invited guests decline.

I would expect any wedding without alcohol to dry up pretty early after dinner/speeches and they definitely should not be offended about that. I assume the boat is docked and you're not actually forced to stay at the event for a long period of time.

be thankful you found out now and not on the day

i know a guy that went to a millionaires wedding on their stately home (a fancy hotel they own and run), huge outside tent for 100+ guests all Harry Potter themed (gay). anyhow, this was in the middle of nowhere, and the couple were also vegan. so you can imagine the food was sh*t. lots of guests had to try to uber to go and get booze to bring back, but it was like a 30 min drive each way to an open store. he said it was boring as fk

at least you know ahead of time

These alcohol threads are definitely eye opening.

As someone who doesn't really care about alcohol or what others do with their own alcohol intake (provided that aren't hurting anyone else thanks to their drunkenness), I can't lie - it's always the alcoholcels who are getting defense and doing by far the most screeching.

Like I already mentioned, addicts tend to get pretty pissy when these kinds of topics come up around them. A lot of alcohol addicts also don't realize that you don't need to get sloshed several times a week to be an addict. If you legit can't have fun without alcohol in social situations in general, it's a strong indication that there is at least some degree of an issue.

But booze is so normalized and has been for so long that people will never stop making excuses for it. Which is ironic. A lot of the same people who adore alcohol like to act like green is the devil. Meanwhile, when they are agetting chitfaced off tequila, vodka, whisky, and beer, it's no big deal as far as they are concerned lol

Yeah, but even your post says it all... Every wedding you attended had alcohol. Because that's the norm. Dry weddings are not the norm.

Everyone is saying the alcoholcels are all defensive but how? It's absolutely what's to be expected by social standards in nearly every country at a wedding. No one cares if you don't drink. That's fine. But people will care if there's a strict no booze policy. Drinkers don't feel the need to justify our decisions because society isn't judging us, drinking at a wedding is totally normal and even generally expected.


The only ones thinking deeply about it are the non drinkers... The rest of us just go have some drinks and a good time and don't think twice. The defensive people are the ones in here calling others addicts simply because we expect booze at a wedding lmao. All of sudden that makes us dependent on booze otherwise we can't function in society or have any fun... Lmao pls, this is huge cope. It's not that deep to a normal person... it's that deep to someone who needs to justify their reason not to drink.
