Oh man. I absolutely hate that. It's like, you're an alien if you don't drink. I've given up trying to explain being straight edge to people because either they throw it off with "but you drink secretly, right?" or think it's some fad diet to loose weight. Or my personal favourite "oh, I get it, you're waiting until you're 18 so you don't get into trouble. You're such a good girl." People naturally assume that the second I turn 18 I'm gonna just abandon this and start drinking/taking as many drugs as I can get my hands on.
The binge drinking is pretty much one of the only things that makes me seriously think about moving out of Britain.
