Should I / how do I tell my parents the whole story?
I didn’t mean to lie but was worried by parents might be mad / not approve of me hanging out with those friends anymore ( and I still live with them), as those friends/ past teammates drink a lot and my parents rarely drink.
So I’m almost 21 ( drinking age where I live is 19) and The most I’ve drank at once before Friday was one drink and a few sips of friends drinks and the most my parents have seen/ know of me drinking is two sips of their drink.
So this weekend my hometown ( where I still live) was hosting a big wrestling tournament and a lot of alumni wrestlers ( some of my teammates from high school) were there. On the Friday night there was a social for all the coaches/ volunteers at a casino. I went and most of the people there were old enough to be my parents (So I wasn’t planning on drinking ( drove myself there) but around 10 people closer to/ my age were there so I decided to have 1 drink...
The next day I told my parents that I had 1 drink got a taxi to a different bar with friends that was open later and had a 2nd drink and one shot and got a ride home with a friends parents at 2am when that bar closed. They were surprised said they couldn’t picture me having a shot,was a typical girl only paying for one drink and joked about the people I was with being a bad influence on me ( but laughed and were OK not mad about what happened ).
What I left out was the reason I ended up going in a taxi to a different bar was because I walked in a group to a nearby bar and two of the guys I was hanging out with got there first and the bar wouldn’t serve them and when I went in with some more people one of those guys was with us so the bar wouldn’t serve any of us. So that’s why we ended getting cabs to a different bar (that ended up serving multiple drinks to the guys the other bar had cut off) I also actually drank 3 drinks and had 2 shots.
So what I told them was true just not the whole story. ( well expect for I drank more than I told them about).
