I don't drink because I've seen a negative family history with alcohol and know I'd become an addict if I ever did

But it seems like when most people want to hang out/socialize/bond, they do so over a drink. I don't want to miss out on that but I know that I never want to try to get drunk

The main problem with many is they don't stop after just one or two drinks...they keep going until they are drunk.
My ex is an alcoholic and I swore I'll never let that become a problem for me... I learned it's okay to have one and just switch to ice tea or whatever non alcoholic drink sounds good to you.
