Meet the older brother
 

So this weekend is my girlfriend's graduation party.
We've been dating for 6 months. I've met her parents numerous times, they like me enough. That is good. But this is my first time getting to meet her 28 year old brother.

She's told me that he is going to get me wasted. Now I haven't been forced to drink in over two years, since I became an upperclassmen of college I had been getting underclassmen smashed...yeah that's how I like to party heh. I don't mind drinking heavily, but I always chose to!

Now I'm freshly graduated and I'm feeling really nervous about a)meeting him b) him trying to get me wasted c)not making a fool out of myself in front of her family, friends, and parents' friends.

So don't get wasted. ??????? Be responsible. Whats the issue?

Puke, responsibly.

Next, a third cousin twice-removed will be along to make you jump off a cliff?

Seriously. Just say no, thank you. (Be polite...that damn Nancy Reagan took all the manners out of refusal.) ;)

..."forced to drink"...

yeah. That's the ticket.

Easy.....
Tell him you are teetotaler from day one of your life. And that you prefer drinking herb tea leaves from China.
When he leaves, say "mea culpa" to yourself ten times and chill off with some hard drink.

I follow the "Get Drunk With Dignity" school of thought, myself. :)

*snort*

Keep a house plant nearby and dump your drink in it when he's not looking.

Verrrry interesting!

Meet him and be confident in accepting only as much drink as you wish to drink. This will earn the respect of her family, friends and parents' friends. The opinions of those that do not respect your choice are not worth caring about.

Tell him you have a drink for every hit of acid he does.

Here's a thought. If you like this girl and want to make sure you don't do something really stupid, thus diminishing her enjoyment of HER day - be a man and say 'no thanks, I'm not drinking today'. Follow that up by being your charming self and not drinking. End of dilemma.

Suddenly kick brother in the crotch! That'll endear you to him. ;)
