Explain how lying can be part of a valid strategy for staying alcohol-free.

Lying is generally not considered appropriate, but it can be used to come up with excuses and reasons not to use alcohol. If someone offers you a drink and you do not have a excuse ready to use that happens to be true, it may be better to make up an excuse that is not true rather than give in to peer pressure and drink alcohol.

Lying can keep you staying alcohol free because you can lie and say that you are allergic to alcohol and you can stay alcohol free
