When it comes to get-togethers, many things come to mind. Seeing old friends, catching up, enjoying a great meal and so forth. But the worst part has to be the alcohol.
为什么呢？因为很多朋友喜欢劝酒， I'm not a heavy drinker, but many of my friends are. 所有就时候我真得是 between a rock and a hard place.
假如有这么一个场景：
One day, a friend of mine was visiting Shanghai. We got together for a couple of drinks since we hadn't seen each other in a long time.
他总是让我喝喝喝，我又不能喝。But I was afraid that if I didn't drink, my friend would think I was 不够朋友. Plus, we hadn't seen each other in so many years, I didn't want him to get offended if I didn't drink with him.
面对这种情况，我还真不知道该怎么办。
我们一起来看看今天的几个点：
pressure someone to drink 劝酒
I hate it when people pressure others to drink.
have a high tolerance 酒量好have a low tolerance/ be a lightweight 酒量不好
My friend has a high tolerance, but I'm a lightweight.
between a rock and a hard place 进退两难；左右为难
You were really between a rock and a hard place when you had to choose between your career and your relationship.
最后我想说: “I personally think drinking should be fun. Getting tipsy and enjoying yourself is ok, but getting stupid drunk is just...stupid.”
