Generally yes. There might be groups that would give you a hard time, but in pretty much every job or social circle I've been a part of, there's been at least one non-drinker; some for religious reasons, some recovering alcoholics, some just for personal preference. I've never seen someone excluded because of that.
- pw0ncakes 17y agoSeems accurate. Except at banks and companies like Enron where sensible people wouldn't want to work anyway, the "macho WASP" culture that mandates drinking is dead. I can't be drunk for medical reasons, but I can tolerate a beer or two. I get one of my favorite beers (I'm only having one so I can make it an expensive one) and then drink water for the rest of the evening.
