Do fun things that don't require alcohol? Go cycling, rafting, build stuff, etc. One way I've participated in many large parties and events is by "working" them. So if I'm running around with heavy equipment or driving things or doing something I can't do while drinking, then I won't drink. I think people end up drinking because the activities they're doing are kindof boring. Sitting in a bar is pretty boring, board games are extremely boring. But then on the other hand: drinking alcohol is a lot of fun. So I think it's probably a lot healthier to just have a healthy relationship with it, as opposed to abstaining completely (unless there is a medical reason or something).
