It's funny how casual drinking is in our society. Typically when you go to a restaurant, people will order an alcoholic drink. I have nothing against alcohol in moderation, in fact, I love wine and beer on occasions. I stopped drinking for about a year just to focus on my health. Whenever I would go out to bars with friends, there was so much pressure to have a drink. It's totally possible to not drink and still be sociable and have a good time out with people. Good for you for taking a step towards what you want, Jeff!
