Re: Shallow dealbreakers.

Maybe it's the fear of being around someone whose judgment and impulse control is impaired even in the slightest.

That sounds like a pretty deep-seated issue, anon. Like, you have every right to teetoll yourself and to disapprove of drinking, and every right to choose exactly who you do and do not hang out with and date. But this sounds like something you could maybe do with talking about to a professional about. Even if all it does is make it easier for you to be out and about in the world where people drink publicly.

Really? It seems like a completely natural thing to fear. I could bring it up with my therapist, it won't be difficult, but I'm surprised to hear that I should.

Well, considering that ost people aren't that worried about being around drunk people, and you're talking about being afraid of the idea of someone being even slightly impaired*... So yeah, on a scale of what most people are afraid of, and the proportion they worry about those things, I would say that your issue is something that it could be worth talking about. That is, if you are interested in being able to have healthier, less fearful relationships with people who drink occasionally.

* This part actually confused me a bit, because alcohol isn't the only thing that can slightly impair judgement and/or impulse control - illicit drugs can, but so can prescription and over the counter drugs. As can strong emotional states. As can puberty.

As can tiredness. Honestly that affects my judgment way more than anything I put into my body.

Honestly, anon, I'm kind of weirded out by your implication that people who have one drink are then judgment-impaired. I can have more than one and still be 100% in my right mind. (I often have two, though I usually drink pretty slowly.)

People hold their liquor very differently and I'm not really a fan of being around drunk people either, but it's totally possible to be a light drinker and not lose your wits. In fact I'm pretty uncomfortable with the idea of losing judgment myself which is why I'm careful about how much I drink.
