Alcohol's track record in my life thus far:

Relationships created: 0

Relationships destroyed or severely damaged: 2

To clarify, I was not the one affected by alcohol in those 2 cases. So thanks, but no thanks.

Yeah, I feel like I have to justify why I am not participating in "doing drugs", when people wonder why I wont have a drink. Very tiring and kind of helped me to avoid drinking just out of spite :P ..

That weird "must be something wrong with you" attitude is pretty unique to alcohol, I would say.

Perhaps that explains why people who drink moderately enjoy better outcomes: they're not being penalized by others for not drinking.

Not so bad, most of our social gatherings include a lot of alcohol, though drinking at home or by yourself is really weird.
