[TR24199]

My co-workers will invite me to get drinks with them after work and I will often turn them down. I'm not being rude or anti-social; I just don't drink and I don't like being around people who are trying to get 'wasted'. This seems to be the goal of many get-togethers thrown by whites, in my experience. It's not being fun in a roomful of drunk people when you're sober and you're a minority. Sometimes people's true colors start to show and that everyday sense of awkwardness is heightened. Perhaps your black employees were just wary of being in a roomful of drunk white people?
