[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, probably not. Agree that you need to find your own niche crowd.

Really? We don’t drink and never offer guests alcohol b/c growing up neither of our parents entertained (family history of social anxiety and alcoholism on both sides so no idea what is normal there).

We make great home made food, keep up with current events, travel, but in the end serving wine is really the key?  That is frustrating. [/quote]

NP, but I sort of see it as akin to someone who never ate dessert, and refused to serve it.  Assuming someone's not addicted to alcohol, many adults enjoy a glass of wine or beer with their meal because they like the taste, it enhances the food, etc.  Sort of like enjoying a good dessert.  You don't have to drink, but I would think it's a little strange if, say, I offered to bring a bottle of wine over for dinner and you said no.  It would be strange if I offered to bring dessert and you said no, right?

There's a wide range between not drinking at all, ever, and being black out drunk all the time.  I have plenty of friends who don't drink, but also don't mind and don't judge me if I have a glass of wine with dinner, or whatever.  But if you assume that my drinking at all means I have a drinking problem then, yes, we probably wouldn't be friends.  Not because of the alcohol, because of the judgment.[/quote]
