I turned 21 the other day and my sister who is 29, and her husband are pressuring me to go out tonight with them and their friends because my sister says she is going to get me "trashed." I dont drink and I never have. I dont agree with her pressuring me into doing something that I dont want to. I told her that I would have a drink... but not drink to get drunk..let alone, "trashed". I keep telling her that I dont want to get drunk but she keeps telling me OH YOU ARE TOO! I am so different from her also. I am not the type of person to go out to clubs and drink w/friends, and she is. I dont really know what to say to her... any suggestions?

How about "Oh, I'm sorry, but I set aside this night in my calendar months ago--I have to rearrange by sock drawer." Or in the words of that great American philosopher Nancy Reagan--Just say no.

Stand your ground on this. It's okay to go out with friends and have a drink, but it's never a good idea to do this simply because someone is pressuring you. You can set the terms for the night. Tell her how you'd like to celebrate your birthday, and invite her to join you. She can choose to participate if she wants.
