I also have a house full of boos that I don't drink at all. It's definitely the social aspect of having a good time and then blammo - I'm hammered. 9/10 it's cool but the time it isn't - it isn't. I also live in a city where drinking surrounds every day life - it's crazy.

Thanks for your story - reading is definitely something I like to do. Binge drinking a lot is the only thing I do well that takes away from the other things.
