By Ask Alice
Dear Alice,
I was eating out with a group of friends recently and we were all ordering cocktails when it came up that one member of our party (a friend of friend who we’d just met that night) was an alcoholic. Well, that sure put a damper on the party fast. I felt so awkward drinking in front of him and I know my friends did too because none of us ordered another one (which we usually always do). What should we have done? Was it rude to drink in front of this man?
Sincerely,
Cocktail Queen
