I do drink a lot (not too much!), and to give an opposite perspective, I can't imagine not drinking alcohol. It's just something that helps me relax for one, and I hate going to a party and not being absolutely ****ed, and I put that down to not being confident enough to be sober and meet loads of people and **** like that... Just occasionally if I wanna just forget about the day or whatever, I'll also just get smashed...
