I'll say why I am. I don't even know what it's like to be under the influence of alcohol...and I love it. The type of social situations with a bunch of people laughing and tipsy is repulsive to me. I have been to a few such situations and it is universally a waste of time.

What Great Things are you doing instead? I know it sounds nasty but so does your comment; what else that moves any needle but your own are you doing?

Sounds a bit like what you love is feeling superior. I’m unsure if you intended for your comment to be condescending, but it certainly came across that way. I very rarely drink these days, but I also don’t judge other people for doing so.

I remember back in the days when I went to art school parties showing up to a party sober and finding everyone incredibly annoying. Then I… took steps to align my serotonergic system to the mood of the room (I showed up 45m late) and it turned into a great night with amazing people. Alcohol was present but only in casual quantities… we weren’t getting drunk. Sobriety is where it’s at though.

Isn't there a difference between not hanging out with drunk people and not drinking alcohol? Some people have a glass of wine with their meal, for instance.

  Depending on where you live, everyone. Large parts of Europe have that. And it doesn’t make a difference. Getting plastered is when you need to watch out because then it gets repetitive and boring.

If you've never been drunk, then I think it's hard for you to have any personal insight into the reasons other people used to get drunk but now choose not to. I'm not saying you should get that experience. Better for you if you continue your abstinence. But you should probably check your attitude when discussing things you have no experience with.

  I have never jumped off a bridge either but I certainly have a lot of insight knowing that I won't enjoy it.

    You might be surprised. We used to love jumping off bridges into Lake Amistad. Huge cliffs, train bridges, etc. Your choices are your own to make, but from my point of view you may be missing out.

Have you ever been under the influence of other drugs? I find the sobriety claims only as they relate to alcohol to be silly. Younger people are using other drugs at far higher rates than in the past, so the overall level of sobriety is probably not every different.
