[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We stopped drinking for a while just because we were so tired and didn’t want to stay up late with our friends who were drinkers. And then we lost our tolerance for alcohol and I had a horrible hangover from a half glass of wine. We have old friends who started turning everything into an heavy drinking event and all of their new friends were really similar, and life started to feel like those times in college when I was sick and couldn’t go out and had to find patience for my very drunk friends who thought they were hilarious. They all started to go away on weekend drinking trips and it wasn’t our scene so we grew apart. I know they think we are unsophisticated and boring, and that makes me feel a little embarrassed.

Then a friend’s sibling sent someone to the ICU after causing a terrible car accident when they drove after 2 drinks.

For me that was the end of enjoying drinking. It just started to seem pointless. I probably drink 2x/year and only if I see a really interesting cocktail on the menu that I’ve never experienced before.[/quote]

What do you mean by “weekend drinking trips”? These are DINKs, parents or retirees?

The parents we know who booze the most are travel sports parents. And country club parents. But those are largely the same parents.[/quote]
