I don't have personal experience with alcohol (14 years old, hello) but a friend of the family actually was an alcoholic. One night he drank a full bottle of vodka straight, drove his motorcycle to the hospital and collapsed in front of the front desk.
If you have a bad relationship with alcohol, stay away from it for a while. If this party is not going to have booze, then by all means go. But I say book it if someone shows up some.
I didn't go, I stayed in and watch a movie, Idk if there were boos at the party or not but I decided I didn't want that to happen again. I bailed at the last minute
Good for you. You didn't "Bail" (whuch suggests weakness), rather you showed good judgement, which demonstrates personal strength.
Part of changing behavior is also changing the way you see and experience yourself. You've taken a good first step here by seeing your actions as resolve, rather than weakness.

Well done. Seriously well done. I'm proud of you for having the strength to stay at home. This is the first step in being able to parties and not end up doing the things you regret so much.

I'm from a region in the UK where virtually every teenager my age gets totally drunk every Friday Night, most on Saturdays too.
Friday, I was at my freinds party, and I was shocked when the host brought out some alchohol. [I didn't even know they drank... or that they intended to while I was there]
Despite pressure from one of the people there who isn't really one of my freinds, and a little from my freinds once they were a bit... tipsy, they understood, and I said no. I'm just INCREDIBLY stubborn though... and I don't like the idea of literally drinking poision. [Because Alchohol is a poision]
Anyway, if you don't have the willpower to resist, then, the answer is simple, don't go. Until you build up the willpower, then you can start going again.

Good man.
I find it easy to say no. If I don't want to do something, I just won't do it. Simple. For example, I regularly get asked to smoke, and despite what could be seen as "peer pressure", I've never once tried a cigar/cigarette.
Congratz to the OP for not going to the party. Once you've developed a stronger sense of self-control you can go to any party you want to without having to experience any issues or regret by the end of it.
