Am currently at university studying for a nursing degree. I love the course, and have some great uni mates. I'm currently working towards a first, which I am VERY happy about!
However, they all like to go out drinking. I don't want to be stuck on the PS3 at home or reading medical journals so I go with them.
Been out 3 times in 3 weeks, hardly a lot.
Went shopping yesterday and had a cocktail pitcher afterwards, and my friend posted a pic of me drinking on Facebook.
My mother saw the pic and went mental, and rang my DSN saying she was concerned. DSN now wants to see me on Tuesday to discuss drinking with me and implications on my pump.
Am I really that bad? Why can't I go out with friends and enjoy myself, and have a social life? It's easy to say don't drink, or just have one, but when all your mates are having fun, why should I restrict myself?
I realise I must sound like an immature idiot. But I don't smoke, don't do drugs, and before uni I never went out, par twice a year or so for friends birthdays. I look after myself, pay all my own bills, rent etc.
Am I being unreasonable?
