You're welcome! I think it's sad that people will ostracize someone for not drinking. But I know what you mean about having to have a new group of friends. Alcoholics who decide to stop drinking have to leave their drinking buddies behind......
I will say this, though, as the mother of two college students, I wish you could find a way to party and not feel like you need to get drunk! I've never been in that state, but I also hear the aftereffects of being drunk are not fun either!
