TikToker Explains Why Drinkers Are Uncomfortable Around Non-Drinkers

Social anxieties around alcohol use are common, as a recent TikTok video by Fashionably Divorced highlights. The video, which has garnered over 400 views in less than two hours, addresses a comment suggesting that non-drinkers and drinkers are simply incompatible. Fashionably Divorced counters this, stating, "I think it's more than a self-esteem issue; it's a fear that the non-drinker will see you for what you actually are." She expands on this by explaining that many drinkers use alcohol as a crutch, and discomfort arises from a fear of vulnerability and authenticity. The video's concise and relatable approach makes it a valuable contribution to the ongoing conversation about social dynamics and alcohol.
