'Peer' Pressure

I am currently avoiding alcohol on the grounds that really, I could do without adding what is effectively a poison go the mix of my symptoms. Darling father is not sure that this is a good thing.  He approves of strong drink and will normally say that it is a good thing for all sorts of ailments.

Not only that but darling father has bought me a small bottle of Tia Maria.  As I struggle on, darling father is getting quite upset that I haven't drank it yet.  He is actually quite concerned that I haven't drank it yet.  Everyday he checks to see if the level has gone down, and when he realises he hasn't, he gets a little bit more upset.  I am considering pouring some down the sink. 

This is the most pressure I have ever felt in my life to drink alcohol.  I have never had any problem saying 'no'.  And I admit that at certain times in my life I had no problem saying 'yes' to alcohol either.  I just don't think it is a good idea at the moment for me.  Not until I stop getting chest pains. 

I should add that darling father is also quite concerned that I lose weight.  I have been trying over the last few weeks, and despite frequent gifts of chocolate I have lost a few pounds.  Darling father was very happy for me - and emphasised that a few treats now and again would be a good idea. 

Poor darling father, how is he going to show he loves me if he can't buy me chocolate and alcohol?
