No one cares whether I drink or not. Events that I would have go to regardless are totally fine and it hasn't been a problem at all. That said, I have definitely cut back on going to get togethers where the objective is to get drunk because they are not fun anymore. Being drunk with other drunk people is fun, being sober with drunk people is super fucking annoying. If I am out at a smashfest and I don't want to deal with the 'why aren't you drinking' then I get a glass of club soda, throw a lime wedge on there and lie to people. Again, I don't really go to those any more because they really are a waste of time and I want to leave early anyways because I don't want to fuck up my morning routine.
