Drink virgin drinks. I go through frequent periods of not drinking that don't inhibit me from going to bars or going on business lunches. It doesn't escape me that these people are women. My wife has had similar experience in literally every other opt in social activity in our field. Have you considered that maybe it's not a hazard of not drinking, but rather a consequence of being a woman in a professional world that is hostile to them?
