Sending support to everyone - you deserve a medal!🏅

But on a serious note, sober shaming can make people feel pressured, invalidated, upset and angry – after all, they’re being told that their personal choice, which should have very little impact on anyone else, is offensive, rude or boring, and that it somehow impacts others’ ability to enjoy themselves.

When we support rather than shame people who aren't drinking, whatever their reason, we are more inclusive of everyone.🧡

It's time to !

By sober shaming others, we’re upholding society’s view that drinking alcohol is normal and not drinking is not.

On a societal level, sober shaming puts up a barrier for people considering making a change to their drinking. If you know you’re going to be challenged about your non-drinking, that you’re going to have to explain it time and again, that friends and family may judge you or be upset with you, it’s much easier, and probably more tempting, to just keep drinking.

It’s in everybody’s interest to break down this view so we can all make our own choices about alcohol, free from any judgement. Let's make not drinking normal, as it should be!

We've all been there!🙄☀️

Not drinking alcohol – whether for an evening, a month or long-term – should be a decision we can all make freely, that others respect.

If you find yourself about to make a comment after someone has said they'd rather not drink or they're opting for an alcohol-free option that night, don't question it, just let people make the choices they'd like to. Easy!

And if you've decided to make a change with your drinking, we're proud of you and here to support you!🧡🙌
