11. They Seem to Drink More When You’re Around
According to a 2018 survey conducted by UK Mental Health Foundation, 74% of responders felt ‘overwhelming stress’ in the past year. In fact, 29% said they’ve been increasing their alcohol intake just to handle everyday life. What this all means is that stress is a huge factor when it comes to vices.
The next time you’re out with someone you’re unsure likes you or not, just take a look at their drinking habits. Are they having one too many cocktails? You could be the reason behind that without even knowing it.
Try talking to the other person. All it takes sometimes is being open, vulnerable and honest with somebody else. They might come clean about what they think about you, too, so make sure you’re prepared for that!
