Refusal to drink makes woman feel out of step with her peers
DEAR ABBY: I’m 20 years old. My boyfriend and I don’t drink. Almost every person my age does, and it’s starting to get to me. I’d love to have friends besides my boyfriend I can hang out with, but I find that I only connect with him because everyone else always wants to go out […]
