most adults who don't drink are not shut-ins who are pretending to have a sour grapes take on social experiences they never had

they're socially active people who used to participate in drinking culture, and chose to end their drinking in order to preserve and maintain their social connections and romantic relationships

my father went through exactly one session of marriage counseling. his first wife told him she wanted him to stop drinking. he said "No." she said "Then I want a divorce."

that story stuck with me.
