this is my first post on this website....so glad i found it. i'm much older than you girls...58....so i've been where you are.....i don't like being around drunk people because they can get sick.....but i keep telling myself that it's not contagious so i won't catch it. i worry more about the stomach flu etc that goes around... this phobia has kept me out of airplanes, amusement park rides, boats, long car trips, large crowds.....i thought it would get easier as i got older but that has not been the case so i'm hoping that reading this website will help me.
