A great way to get away with not drinking is saying you're on meds that don't allow you to drink and you're just paranoid about it. People totally believe that shit!
Woohoo, congrats! Yeah, if I stopped drinking, my friends would DEFINITELY catch on -- I'll have to remember the "I'm taking meds and can't drink" excuse:-)
