So yeah.. I've never had alcohol. That is apparently a surprise to many people.
We try to have dietetic intern get togethers once or twice a month, and usually they are located in bars. So, I went to another Happy Hour on Friday with a couple of girls from school and some of their friends. I was drinking Diet Coke (w/ lime... very exotic), and one girl said, Hey lighten up.. it's Happy Hour! I was like.. ummmm... I don't drink.
Awkward moment.
"So, why not?"
Even more awkward.
"I'm Mormon."
A look of vague recognition fickers across her face. "Oh."
5 minutes later... "So wait a minute... You mean you've never had alcohol?"
"Yeah... Never."
So I proceed to tell her and another girl about the controversial shirts at BYU: "I can't-I'm Mormon." One girl was like, "Well that's not right.. It should be 'I won't-I'm Mormon.'"
Isn't that the attitude we need in this church?
