[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No doubt, alcohol is a key feature at nearly any and every social gathering among my peers.   I think there is a lot of alcohol abuse in upper middle class circles.  My neighborhood is full of this - functional alcoholics.  I used to partake until my husband went off the deep end and became abusive.  The alcohol played a role, for sure.  This turned me against it - I won't be judgey per se, but I have no interest in it anymore.[/quote]

This. I live in a wealthy suburb of Boston & am astonished by the amount of drinking. [/quote]

I volunteer for a sorority type non profit and they drink A LOT. Some with kids, some without.

My MIL who grew up in New England UMC is now a drunk. She wasn’t when my husband was growing up. Her and my FIL would have parties, social and had great careers. DH and I limit our drinks to once every few months. It’s fine for a lot in their 30s and 40s but know that some of those WILL turn into drunks. It’s just fact. Not all, but yes some. [/quote]
