I have the socially debilitating habits of neither smoking nor drinking. I can say without hesitation that not drinking has cost me friendships. But if that was it was all about, it there probably wasn't much there to begin with. Oh yup.
I find that some people take offense if they're drinking and I say "no thank you." I have no problem with other people drinking, but they probably assume I'm a puritan since I don't. Truth is, I have diabolical alcoholism on both sides of my family. Doctors and family members have told me to stay away. So I do. By the way, if you don't drink ex-alcoholics make great friends.
