>If you can avoid people that use drugs or have a liberal attitude towards drugs, you can avoid addiction. Almost everyone I know has a "liberal" attitude towards drugs. And they're all great, functional, non-addicted people. >Just stay away from people that do drugs You're going to live a pretty solemn existence in modern society, where the majority of Westerners require morning caffeine. |

Also alcohol.
My observation of popular HN culture shows its believed to be easier to live and socialize as a vegetarian than a non-alcohol drinker. This comes up often in semi-unrelated topics about new urbanism and the perceived level of importance of living within walking distance of bars, not to mention the supposed death of car culture. And it also comes up in "how do I meet people" socialization topic discussions. And health oriented discussions. Occasionally hobby related discussions, also.
Given the enormous PITA it is, according to some, to not drink alcohol, it would seem an obvious startup opportunity for social media inspired socialization or whatever. I'm not currently aware of any non-alcohol related startups. There is at least some love for vegetarianism, so there should be space for not getting drunk as a lifestyle, given that it is supposedly an even stronger social death sentence.
