Where I moved five years ago, drinking is the social activity by default. I had a lot of fun the first years in pubs and parties in general and it helped a lot for improving my language skills and social network (and gave me some embarrasing memories too. Cé la vie). At some point, I started to feel simply tired of the sensation of being drunk and the health problems it produces in all terms but I kept going. I stopped drinking that much naturally after finding a sport activity (climbing which I am devoted to now) that kept me grounded and motivated for taking care of my health in order to perform better. So, my advice is: Find some physical activity that motivates you and use as the reason for avoid drinking. If temptation arises, just think on the aweful training session you are gonna have due to the hungover and all that. (My advice comes from the assumption that you don't have a serious pathologic adiction to alcohol. If that was the case, seek help from a profesional)
