You are the kind of person i despise, i have kept away from alcohol because half of my family drank itself to death and people keep pestering me about taking a drink, YOU are one of those people OP.

I'm not sure if this is a YDI or YLS. It depends on how much coaxing the OP did and what form the coaxing took. An occasional 'Why don't you come watch the game and have a beer?' is not peer pressure, especially if the room mate had only ever said no and not said 'I'll watch the game but I don't drink so I won't have the beer'. Although it's definitely FML for the roommate, I don't understand why they didn't at least come up with a reason, even if they didn't want to reveal they were a recovering alcoholic. Saying they don't like the taste or can't drink may have been enough for the OP to accept that they weren't being unfriendly but had a reason for not joining them. Also, if they're going to tell the OP that they're a recovering alcoholic once they've had the drink, why didn't they tell them before they had the beer and the OP would probably have removed the temptation and stopped asking. I'm often asked why I don't get drunk but once I've explained the reasoning behind it (I don't like the idea of not being in full control of my actions or throwing up or anything like that), my friends have accepted it and are happy to leave me alone and let me drink what I want to drink.

FYL OP, that really sucks. Honestly, your roommate should've said something a loooooong time ago. I mean really, if you're keeping any alcohol in the apartment, he should've said something about it. Like "hey if you want to keep that beer in a little fridge in your room, that's cool. But I've had issues with alcohol in the past so I'd greatly appreciate it if we leave the main fridge an alcohol free zone." You had no way to know that he is an alcoholic, if he was rooming with you, he should have told you from the get go. The moment he realized you drank alcohol, or kept it in the house, he should have informed you. Just sayin', if he's been your roommate for awhile, this should have come up before.

Im sick of douches saying "If you do not drink, you will have no fun at all". For ***** sake, you can have fun without being a drunkass all the time! Whatever happend to theme parks? Movies? Reading? Holidays? Even sleeping? Arent those fun anymore? .-. I will never drink alcahol, its horrible tasting. Noone will beg differ!

Good job. If people say no, let them say no. Don't pressure them into it. There can be many reasons why they don't want to drink, but if saying yes is the only way to stop the harassment usually people will say yes. Don't do it next time and take no for an answer.

Sounds more like an FML for him

You know, trying to make him drink when he doesn't want to is a very bad thing to do regardless of whether he's a recovering alcoholic or not. The problem isn't just his alcoholis, it's that you pressure people into drinking at all.

That guy should of said something at least.

If one does not want to drink, then you shouldn't pressure. Maybe his reason could have been that he just didn't like the taste, it's his own choice if he drinks or not.

Is he going to post - "I have been sober for 6 months...?"
