I agree, I come from a family with alcohol issues myself. I often feel I am in the minority with this subject. There have been many social gatherings that I just don’t want to go to because I can’t stand being around people that have been drinking too much. I have also missed many fun activities because alcohol was not involved. Example: While visiting relatives in Seattle, I thought it would be great to take a cruise around Puget Sound, but a few in the group did not want to go because this boat did not serve alcohol. Instead, we went to a bar. How sad, we could go to a bar in our home town! I guess I really haven’t answered your question, I just agree that it seems the majority of people feel they need alcohol for fun.
