So I’ve had a close friend for years who is Muslim and I’ve never seen her drink, she said it’s because drinking alcohol is against her religion. I’ve never had an issue with it and included her on outings anyway, she would be the sober one/DD and it would work out. No judgement.
Last weekend our other friend was driving us when we went out and my friend ordered a drink. I asked her why since she never has and it was kind of out of character for her, and she said she just wants to try drinking. So we did. I found it fun to teach her how to drink and what drinks to have and what to avoid as a beginner. And showing her how to pace herself. We stayed safe ofc and I had a blast.
But eversince then she got really distant and sending one word responses to texts and seemed kind of pissed. When I asked what was wrong she told me I don’t respect her religion by encouraging her to drink. And that I should have stopped her. But I
figured her views changed on alcohol, I’m raised catholic and I definitely don’t follow everything.. so if she wanted to drink why would I stop her? AITA for not stopping her from drinking?
