I was as social as one could be while drunk and am as solitary as a hermit now that I'm sober. I miss the social life at times, but really, as Tolstoy remarks, it was just an escape from my true nature which I hadn't yet figured out. And what a mess that was.
So yes, its a social thing, but is it good? It's something. There are other ways.
- happyjack 3y agoThis comment really resonates with me. As someone who doesn't drink anymore, I've found how much of a hermit I am and how much I'm okay with that and how it's my true self. I really have few friends, and the ones I do I actually do activities with. My wife is the same way.

- soco 3y agoI feel this is the same discussion as with veganism - anything that's not 100% pure it's getting called drunkard and berated for that. Meh.
