Is it really unladylike to drink a lot on invitations? (films, relationship)

[Sunflower_lol]

Well if invited to a party or reunion, many already know I'm not a non-drinker nor a woman that drinks very little or just goes wine or simple beer.
Nope.... I'll be up all night long and go for stronger drinks on the display.

However, my mother thinks that's really unladylike and I should drinker way lesser amounts or just go for light drinks. However, when questioning my father's youthful years her only excuse was ''Well he's a man''.

Super light drinks aren't fun and two beers won't do me nothing but make me go to the bathroom constantly.

At the same time, I'm an A student in my institute and work too.

Oops it's on the celebrities topic, please move it to the relationships forum....

Someone will move it--eventually.

I heard the same from my mother--the advice was actually 'Just Say No'.

You have to choose your drinking buddies and review the 'Bridget Jones' films.

Are you in the US or the UK? UK being more liberal on the consumption of alcohol or so it seems. In the US---you have to be able to drink properly--know your limits --and all possible consequences of overindulgence--be in control at all times.

It got to be too much trouble so I drink only on rare occasions. The things people will say about women who drink. Since I seem to be emotionally volatile at times---many think I have been overindulging--cannot imagine that anyone could 'Be Like That' unless alcohol/illegal substances were involved. Futile to explain and so I don't do that either.

Knowing your limit is the key, especially in public.

I say drink whatever you want as long as you don't act a fool or throw up on anyone lol.

Drinking while trying to maintain ladylike status.....is a waste of good booze.
