Liam is with a group of friends who are competing to see who can drink the most alcohol. Which statement can help Liam assertively refuse binge drinking?

A.
"I guess it won't hurt, just don't tell my brother."

B.
"No way. I don't want to spend my night being sick."

C.
"I'm not sure if I should or not."

D.
“I already know I could drink you guys under the table. I don’t need to prove it to you.”

By using refusal skills you let others know you do not agree with an activity or behavior and you will not be part of it. This implies assertive communication because you need to be clear and honest about it without being rude or offending others.

In the case of Liam, the best statement for assertively refuse binge drinking is "No way. I don't want to spend my night being sick" because by using the expression "No way" he refuses participating in binge drinking; this is supported by the reason provided by Liam "I don't want to spend my night being sick" that shows Liam will not participate in this behavior; also, the language is clear and honest without being offensive (assertive language).
