I feel lucky, I see this sort of sentiment of “it’s hard on your social life not drinking” fairly often, but I’ve gone my whole life thus far without so much as tasting the stuff, and don’t think I’ve ever had anyone push back on me in any significant way when Ive expressed my preferences on the matter. I take it as a sign my current circle of friends is a good one and that I’m fortunate to have ended up with them.
