Today, at work I was told I'd be working over Christmas because I don't drink. Apparently if you're tee-total, you're not entitled to spend time with your family and are incapable of having fun. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I work in healthcare, and I was told that since someone quit I have to work Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas day, and all of New Year's weekend. This is after I was told, "Our workplace is a family." FML
Today, it's Christmas day. Normally, I'd be spending it with family. However, my boss decided everyone has to work today, despite the fact that there's enough people who want to work to run the place. Apparently it's "fairer" if we all have to do it - except him. FML
Today, I'm the designated driver for a Christmas party I wasn't even invited to. Not only do I get to watch people have a good time, but I'm also supposed to not get involved in the party. FML
Today, after being a resident DJ at a local club for over 4 years, I got fired. Not because I'm bad at what I do, but because my boss thinks I'm not 'having fun like the other DJs'. And by 'having fun' he means that I don't drink enough. I got fired for not being an alcoholic. FML
Today, I had to have a word with my boss about how him coming into work drunk is probably not a very good idea. FML
Today, at work, someone heard me throw up. I then got called aside and told being hungover at work is unacceptable. I don't drink. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I was demoted at my job for sleeping in the store when I'd have a few after closing. Apparently, they would rather have me drive drunk than do the responsible thing. FML
Today, my manager rejected my leave application for Christmas. Later I found out that I'm going to be the only employee working at the office during Christmas. FML
Today, I got promoted to a management position. After work, I went for a drink with my co-manager and a few of our colleagues, where they discussed their plans to take Ecstasy before/during our work Christmas party. Wonderful. FML
Today, I was refused employment at a liquor store. Their reason? I'm a regular customer and they're afraid I'll drink all their profits. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tee-total means that you do not drink alcohol. Ever. FYL for having a crappy work enviroment. Get it in writing and then take it up with higher management . . . Personally I think you should get extra time off for not wasting company time with hangovers like the others!

You have my sympathy. I don't drink either, and I am the one that always ends up looking after drunk friends and driving them home. And I get accused of 'not having fun'. I have plenty of fun, I just like to avoid the cost and hangover the next day. (alc is heavily taxed in Australia and costs heaps) I don't see why alcohol has to be part of every occasion for people to have fun. It's a real shame really.. Good on you for staying away from the alc.

The thing that prevents non-drinkers from having fun is the idiot friends who get wasted and then depend on us to get them home and not leave them passed out in a puddle of their own puke. Personally, I can go out and have fun without a drop of alcohol in my system, I still get to remember the good bits and I probably wasn't involved in the bad bits. My drinks cost a fraction of what the others have to pay and don't result in a hangover. This OP seriously needs to approach his HR department or something, though. This is discrimination, even if it's not defined by a common minority.

And, if you're the non-drinker, you have the better memory of all the stupid crap your friends did while drunk. Blackmail material!

"Tee-total" is an old-timey term. They're known nowadays as "straight-edge", which also includes not taking any drugs.

Not always. Some people can't drink alcohol for various reasons - I'm on twice-daily medication that shouldn't be mixed with alcohol, but health-wise I'd be fine smoking marijuana.
