I very rarely have and alcohol, mainly because my tolerance level is zilch.. I have the occassional drink at home but it is very seldom. No one that i know has a problem with that.

Your liver will thank you.
Barely drink but not tee total. Can often go 2 or 3 weeks with nothing. Only alcohol is generally if meeting in the pub then it’s a few pints.
The thing that annoys me is that alcohol permeates so many social occasions. People generally can’t meet up without alcohol being involved. Even if it’s not in a pub a large enough group will then involve alcohol in other ways. I sometimes have a bit but often not. But when it becomes the focus of the meet it can become desperately boring very quickly.
Even a number of social cycle rides become tedious excuses for people to talk about and drink alcohol. If you want to, fair enough, but it often becomes the primary focus and the ride is secondary.

Maybe just as well.
I don’t drink much and then I do I much prefer quality or quantity much more enjoyable and no risk of getting smashed. Most of my mates are quite open to both have a drink or equally no thanks. So not really a issue but you have to what’s right for you and if you stop being invited to stuff then look at this way it’s not your loss.
The main problem is alcohol has become such a large part of our society added to the mix is supermarkets selling the stuff at next to nothing equals a big mess which for many sadly becomes a public health issue.

Been virtually teetotal for the past 8 years. I don't miss it.
These days I'll have a glass of wine or two a year.
