"I had to take a moment to give myself a really big telling off. Why had I made the assumption that these drinks were all full alcohol? Why had I assumed that these lovely people in their lovely home were unable to throw a kid's birthday party without having copious amounts of alcohol to hand?"
Today, I’m exploring how years of conditioning led me to make unfair assumptions about my hosts, who were actually on their own mindful drinking journey, at a recent kids’ birthday party. This experience prompted me to question the wider assumptions we all make - about venues, other people's perceptions, and even ourselves and the habitual thoughts and behaviours that dictate our actions when navigating social drinking situations.
