Okay so I'm going on holiday with 9 other people on the 24th to Spain. Basically we have a huge message where we discuss everything about the holiday, talking about meat (because some of us are vegi) etc. I wanted to bring up the subject of alcohol but one of the people going is a person I recently had a huge fight with about her thinking I'm an alcoholic. I'm not, in case anyone is wondering. We have kinda made up the fight, well we're just ignoring the subject really. Anyway her and her bf were making most of the conversation on the message and I don't get on with her bf much either because he's a twat.

Anyway..... I felt really awkward bringing up the subject of alcohol, just saying, "how do people feel with people drinking just like a beer or sangria in the evenings". I actually had to ask someone else to put it on the conversation because I knew they would look at it in a bad way if I wrote it, but they would consider it if it came from someone else. After the other person suggested it, I just chipped in with a "yes its nice to have that to relax in the evenings".

Her and her bf followed on with a load of stuff about "please no one get drunk" "remember to drink responsibly" and even if it wasn't a dig at me, it felt like it was because I know the way they feel about me. And I feel like I can't say anything back 1) because its on a public message and having an argument there is not going to come across well 2) she is recovering from depression so I feel as though I can't say anything that could potentially upset her.

I just don't want to feel this awkward all holiday. I understand its this girls like second cousin's apartment but I'm not going to trash it, I'm responsible. I just want to be able to enjoy myself. Sometimes I enjoy myself with one beer. It doesn't mean I'm going to go around throwing furniture out the windows!! .
