It was me and my sister's 21st a few days ago. on the eve of our birthday we and our friends decided to drink anyway. Of course they started us on the hard stuff and it made me sick, so I decided to just stick with water for the rest of the night, but the stomach ache didn't go away though

Then, around midnight my brother, who is an alcoholic, came in and started drinking with us. as soon as midnight hit he was bringing around shots of vodka to us and pushing us to drink them. I already had vodka so I declined it and explained why, but he just kept coming back with other drinks. In a way I didn't want to accept the drinks because I didn't want to follow in my brother's footsteps. I finally had to kind of lecture him about if I say I don't want a drink I really mean it. My friends supported me, so he said sorry and stopped.

I don't know if that was a mean thing to do though. I mean he just wanted to wish me a happy birthday. I could have taken at least one drink.

What do you guys think?
