Well, you can't always get addicted to alcohol. Just use good judgement and don't drink so much you pass out. OR, don't drink at all if you're not comfortable with it. If you'd lose her because you don't drink, she's not much of a friend. Drugs can NOT keep friendships together, but it can definitely set them apart if one part refuses to associate with the one who doesn't do the drugs.
There is a lot of risk in doing any drug. Alcohol is the only drug I've ever done, and I like the feeling and the taste - but I'm not addicted by any means. I've been drunk, I've had missing memories, but I've never had a hangover, and I've never gotten myself so drunk I passed out.
Simple judgement and common sense will help with that, if you want to give it a shot. I don't encourage it by any means if you're not comfortable with it. And, if you're not, TELL your friend. You've gotta talk to her about how you feel. She should know you're uncomfortable, if you are, and that you're worried about becoming addicted.
Just talk it out and make the decision based on what you feel is best for YOU. I hope this helps!

If you don't want to..You shouldn't have to. You should be able to make your own decisions and if other people don't like it then fuck them. It's none of their business anyways. Just tell her you don't want to become addicted and if she has a problem with it then she'z not a very good friend after all..
Hope I helped..

If she really was your best friend, she'll respect your decision, never force you, and still remain friends with you.

If she doesn't, then you know she isn't a true friend, nevermind a best friend.

I'm sure you probably don't want to hear this, but this is called PEER PRESSURE. You've probably heard the slogan "just say no". Yeah, well... I know its easier said than done, but stick up for yourself!

Teens, more than anyone, are more likely to become addicted. (Assuming that you're a teenager) Its just like when teens start smoking. They always tell themselves "I can quit whenever I want", but the truth is... They cant!

So, my advice? Clearly tell her you don't want to drink. If she offers you a drink, just say "Nah, its okay." or "No thanks". Don't make it a big issue, but don't fall to the peer pressure.

It may be hard, but I know you can do it. I know I have. :)

CheapChineseFood answered Friday January 28 2005, 9:07 pm:
I'm going to give you my bluntest answer, because a question like this deserves it completely. Uh. That is the stupidest thing in the entire world. My best friend is completely against drinking and pot and shit, and when she found out I was going to experiment, she said "Mere, It's not my life." If you want to, that's your call, as stupid as it is, but seriously, fuck your best friend. If you could lose her over something so stupid, then you really need to consider getting a new friend.
