I would also chime in on the suggestion to find a new group of friends. I stopped my casual drinking when I became a father. I could not stand the thought that my kid sees me wasted. With that a lot of socially awkward issues started. Mainly with team events or at company parties. When all people around you start to slur and get funny. I have no real fun at these parties anymore. That’s one reason I kept them short and leave when I see that the majority of people get wasted.
