I dislike the idea that not engaging in risky drinking somehow cripples your social life. I think there are opportunities for much more healthy and meaningful socialization when it isn't centered around alcohol and late nights on the bar scene. And you can meet a wider range of people, and engage in varied and interesting activities. I suppose you are less likely to find casual hookups, but there's an app for that now, anyway.
