Do you feel comfortable drinking alcohol in the presence of your own family?
I'm only asking as I think it's a fairly topical thing. For example, my mum has been regularly offering to get me Smirnoff bottles from the kitchen, cans of lager from the fridge and so on. I decline each time because I don't feel right about it. For some reason, I just don't feel right drinking alcohol in front of my family. I'm not sure why, maybe it's upbringing. How's about yourselves?

I still prefer, however, to drink with my mates.
you're so gay!!11!!
I come in blindingly drunk sometimes, but i won't drink infront of them.
maybe it's because i feel that one isn't enough!
No problem with a couple but not full on pissed before i even get outta the house.
Same for me.
I enjoy going to the pub with my Dad and brothers, is usually a good laugh. I've seen both of my brothers more shitfaced than I'll ever be, so I'm not worried about what they'll think of me etc. I'll have a tipple with my Mam too, but she's not a big drinker most of the time.
Exactly the same.
