[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not rude, but I’d only go to a dinner party without alcohol once. [/quote]

I feel sorry for you; your social group must be really small. Are you friends with any Mormons? Muslims?

Tons of people don’t drink for a variety of reasons, and tons of people wouldn’t think anything of socializing without alcohol.

What a very odd comment.  NP, but I feel sorry for you.  You sound boring and socially awkward, and like you view your friendships as transactional.  Sad.[/quote]

Nope, not at all. Just PP’s post: ‘I will only attend parties where a specific substance is served’ is very small minded, and limits socializing to only people who consume that substance, which is a limited subset of people. [/quote]

She didn't say that.  And "a specific substance" is such an odd way of putting it.  Alcohol is a standard thing to have at a party, and it loosens people up and generally adds to the fun. I actually dont drink much, but PP has every right not to want to go back when someone refuses to serve something that is standard at parties and social gatherings.  It's very strange. [/quote]

It’s very standard at *some* dinner parties. In *some* communities.

DP. Sounds like it’s the standard in OP’s social circle. So I’m not sure what you’re getting at.[/quote]
