[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of teetotalers (or nearly teetotalers) is amazing to me.

Heck, every Sunday, someone in the family hosts and every adult probably has at least 3 glasses of wine that night.

And that's just on a Sunday.  Including a night out on Fri or Sat, and then one rando day in the week, and its easy to get to 15 drinks for the week.

Why? Why is it amazing? Lot's of people don't drink.

I haven't had a drop since I was 21, never cared for it, it's poison to the body, I'm now 50. [/quote]

It’s cultural. When you hang around heavy drinkers, you start to think that’s normal. [/quote]

And vice versa I guess.  I do find it interesting that so many on here don't drink or drink very little.  I have a big social circle in DC and everyone drinks, some people more than others, but most social occasions are parties or big nights out at bars where everyone is drinking.  Same with my coworkers.  It's strange to me to think that everyone I know in DC is an outlier, but maybe we are.  I'm a lawyer so maybe that's part of it.[/quote]

Agree that it seems more responders on here maybe don’t have as much of a social life?  I go out with friends at least once a week and then probably a date night/party or another event every weekend.  There is always alcohol enjoyed.  When I don’t have events or outings, I rarely drink but in a busy month or vacations, I definitely have more than 5 a week.[/quote]
