There are levels between "never touched a glass, don't even enter a bar" and "drinking heavily and feeling like crap all the time".

FWIW, I've had my deepest conversations in late evenings after a gig with a glass of white wine in my hand from which I sipped for like an hour. (I'm a musician.) My life would be fundamentally different without a single sip or even entering a bar, and I would really miss something.
