I don’t know what you are in therapy for but sometimes alcohol and drugs increase your problem.
She mentioned that - but wouldn’t that only be a problem if I drank often? If I am drinking infrequently then it shouldn’t have an impact?

Ask her about it. If she doesn’t give a proper reason then i would just lie.

No. Like I have anxiety and doing drugs or drinking would make me feel more anxious. It doesn’t matter the amount. Why don’t you just wait til your next session and tell her that it bothers you that you can’t drink and don’t understand why you can’t. maybe she can explain it a little better. but drinking and drugs can have an impact on your problem. it’ll be easier if you just don’t. if you don’t have a problem and you rarely drink then it should be no problem for you not to :)
I am really really bad at lying and I don’t want to start off on the wrong foot… I think I will ask her about it and then change I guess? I feel dumb for posting this question anyway.

No. the impact of alcohol with certain drugs remain the same no matter how often you drink. Meaning if you are on certain drugs… anytime you drink, you are at risk for nasty side-effects. Your psychologist is being responsible here (where the responsibility is actually yours - or should be).

don’t feel dumb at all! ask what you don’t understand :) but to me, if you don’t have a drinking problem then not drinking shouldn’t be a problem for you….

True!! Honestly the only reason I have a problem with it is because of Halloween… I spent the last 3 months making a costume and gathering people for a bar crawl & dinner plans. I want to be able to drink for that - I have been looking forward to that night out for a long time. That is my hang up with this :(.

Go have fun just don’t drink. you don’t need to drink to have fun.
Oh! And to clarify I am not on any medications or taking drugs! :) I am clean and clear! I just drink every once in a while.

Still can aggravate your problem
I’d totally lie. In fact, I’d have a drink, go to my session, then lie.
