Bethy, have you weighed the outcome of not taking your meds just so you can have a couple of drinks?? You've been off of them for a couple of weeks already and if you go through with staying off, I'd hate to think what *I* would be like by the end of the year!

You need to feel more important than whatever anyone says to you about not drinking! You can come up with a simple reason that doesn't say anything about your meds or mental illness. Like Larry said, or "I'm alergic to alcohol" or "I just don't feel like it today." Anything! It's no one's business why you do or don't do something unless it impacts them. Your not drinking isn't going to make or break THEIR holiday.

You suppose you not having taken your meds for this long is what's making you extra sensitive lately?? I'd sure give it some serious thought if I was you... the not taking your meds, that is.
