I have many friends who go to parties and sometimes drag me along with them. There's always alcohol, so they often get really drunk and even blackout. I have fun at these parties, but the urge to join in and drink with my friends is growing. I feel left out when everyone is drunk and having a great time except for me, but I also don't want to become addicted. What should I do?

Don't feel compelled to do something if it doesn't feel right. Make your own judgement.
Hey, I totally get where you're coming from. FOMO can be real when you see your friends having a blast while drinking. It's essential to remember that it's okay to have fun without alcohol too!
Navigatign social situations where alcohol is prevalent can be challenging, especially when you wan to fit in with your frients but also want to avoid potential risks associated with excessive drinking. It is essential to set personal boundaries and stick to them. Communicate your boundaries to your friends and be firm in your decision.
This is very relatable! You might want to consider having a clear conversation with your friends about how you feel uncomfertable with the direction their lifestyle is going in. They're you're friends above all and they will understand your perspective!
