Good question

How do you make friends as an adult if you don't drink?

Choose activities that don't involve? Volunteer? There are a bunch of activities without alcohol, probably more than with, but one thing I've noticed about people who don't drink at all, most of their activities are about activity (hiking, cycling, swimming, running, fitness) and often give little time to just socialization, so join those things?

I do three out of those, I also drink, and drink most often to the point socializing after events like that ... are, ahem, may we have another? I have learned, though, they drink after things like that.

If you once drank too much, trying to steer clear, it's almost impossible. If you never drank, well you can't change other people, and need to find those who you want to associate with that give you something. And the above ideas are ones, but you need to know when to bow out.
