I see. I didn't mean to make too much of a point of my experience -- more to use it as an anecdote to frame my point of reference. Still you answered my question to an extent -- your experience has included situations where it seemed everyone must either drink or not drink? Does that include the desire to hold a social event in a bar/pub/restaurant vs. another locale, or is the pressure more directly focused on having everybody actually imbibe? I'm sorry if it's starting to seem like the 3rd degree, but I'm sincerely curious. Frankly, I have a hard time understanding why any adult really cares too much about anybody's consumption habits in any reasonable world... yet here we are. Thanks for your responses
