I am a 25 year old mother of a 1 year old little girl. I work part time as a marketing co-ordinator at a software company and also as a receptionist in my other half's hair salon on a Saturday. Since havin my daughter in November 2010 I don't go out too often - perhaps 2 or 3 times a month. When I do I always drink. If I don't drink alcohol I feel self conscious, unsociable and want to go home. I would rather not go out that go out sober with people who are drinking. However I think this is a state of mind due to habit and culture and want to stop drinking alcohol for financial and health reasons, but also to avoid "the fear" I experience every morning after a night out wondering what I have said or done to cause embarrassment!
