It's time to !

By sober shaming others, we’re upholding society’s view that drinking alcohol is normal and not drinking is not.

It’s in everybody’s interest to break down this view so we can all make our own choices about alcohol, free from any judgement. Let's make not drinking normal, as it should be!
