The wagon

Today, after much coaxing, I finally got my roommate to loosen up and have a couple of beers with me and my friends. It was only later in the evening that he admitted the real reason he hadn't wanted to drink: he's an alcoholic and had been sober for six months, until now. FML

I concur with #6, peer pressure my friend isnt a wise thing to do. Way to go.

People need to learn: no means no. I don't really understand why it takes more than once for this to sink in with some people...

Just because my name includes "*****", it does not mean I will eat just anyone's Doritos. How dare you think so lowly of me...you have truly insulted me. *Cries*

Well, it might be a little more tempting if you weren't a toilet dolphin...

Maybe you shouldn't pressure people next time...peer pressure is pretty lame. On the one hand it is like you're dragging them to your level. On the other hand, it's like you don't respect him. Although, it may have been better if he had told you.

This is why you shouldn't pressure someone into doing something you don't want them to. You're an ass. F his life, YDI.

Shouldn't have coaxed him, but he should have explained before giving in.

What is up with all of the FML's recently about people badgering other people into doing things they don't want to? Is respecting the word "no" really so hard? OP, if you were just trying to get him to hang out with y'all, and he had the beers on his own, then I'd feel some sympathy for you. But making it a point to pressure him into drinking with y'all? That's ****** up, no matter what. What if it had been a religious reason? Or he just didn't want to? Or he didn't like the taste or feeling? Any and all of said reasons are both perfectly valid and none of your business. Just let it go next time.

YDI, even though you didn't know he was an alcoholic. Some people just don't like to drink, everybody has their reasons. Whether they just aren't into alcohol or they are recovering alcoholics you still shouldn't badger anyone into something they don't want to do. Just because he didn't tell you doesn't justify anything, being a recovering alcoholic doesn't seem like the sort of thing you'd just want to tell everybody, he deserves some privacy y'know.

The OP meant well, but definitely should have dropped it. I have friends who are in NA and AA some are comfortable saying that they are. Some feel that it doesn't matter why they decline. If they choose to tell you that is one thing, but pressing it repeatedly is where you fail. It shouldn't matter why they said no, they said no let it go.
