I had to change my playmates, my playthings and my playgrounds.

Wise thing to do.

Any offense that might have caused someone was, and still is, irrelevant.

True! If one is making big changes, cut the old baggage loose. Sometimes thats the only way up.

No drunk likes a sober, so friendship with a drunk is not conducive to my serenity.

My post is not directed at drunks vs non-drunks. But rather 'social drinkers' who may not be in either category. The road to hell is a gradual slope, not a cliff.

I think maybe it depends largely on age too...people who are a little older in some ways are better to hang out with than people around the twenty somethings....

Again, I don't drink at all. I am a teetotaler. Not a drop.

If though I go to a social event and people are 'weirded out' that I don't toss a few back... I can only imagine what kind of impact that would have on someone who is struggling with alcoholism.

I understand what you were saying now.

I can't relate to "social drinking". I was never in that catagory.
