Drinking has came into being a culture in my country.Especialy when we have dinner in a restaurant,people need to drink as much as they can.Whoever toast to you ,you must drink a cup of wine at once to show you appreciation of them. Even you could not drink anyting and nearly disgorge all you drink,you can not refute to others toast.IF you do that,you have make someone unhappy.There is no reasons for you! Someone who will feel unwell and have a headache with drinking a little wine,just like me.And when i refusted to drink,my friends and schoolmates would jest with me. No long years later,when i come to dinner with my boss or my customer,it will be awkward i can not drink with them and this behaviour will influence my boss's impression of me.What should i do now?A little alcohol can hit me easily.Please give me some advises: 1.train myself to drink,and how to train 2.ingore what people say,and hoe to explain my condition to obtain forgiveness?

I think it is them who have wronged you. Maybe it will help if you drink really really slow so won't be able to drink to much. Keep talking to people so that you won't have much time drinking and that will create more delays when you try to drink, hopefully they won't notice how little you drink.

If you hate drinking, I think is okay because drinking a lot more negative than positive impact

If u hate drinking just think that you are one among lucky few. And moreover, drinking is not considered bad as long as you don't trouble others after drinking! I would say just follow your mind in this matter and what important have limit and never do extremities. Happy Life!

While there is little harm preferring to have a couple of drinks,it really is not a taboo. Drinking liquor in fact is not a sin while binge drinking is a crime, not deserving forgiveness in most instances.

I don't think that you should start drinking if you don't feel comfortable doing it. You really should do whatever is more comfortable for you. You shouldn't do something because of what other people think. If they don't like it, or think less of you for not drinking, well that's their problem.

I usually felt guilty for my behaviour,even i have not drunk finally.Imagining the situation where people around me toast to each other,and i only drink some water or beverage.It makes me think i am not here.

First of all you don't need to please others and they should understand you that if you drink then it is bad for your health. You don't need to force yourself into drinking if you don't like it. And yes you are right in second option you must ignore what people will say about it.
