I'm perfectly happy when not drinking at all, or when enjoying a single bottle of a nice wine, or when drinking quite a bit... but I enjoy all three of those, each for different reasons. So the reason I get drunk is because I enjoy it (not that I don't enjoy being sober, it's just enjoyable in a different way).
There's no need to get drunk, I just want to (sometimes). I'm not trying to escape an awful life of misery, or cover up a myriad of character flaws, or anything like that... I merely enjoy everything it results in.
I don't think FF really meant you to be honest.
There are people in this country, and it's appearing to be an overwhelming amount of them, who associate "fun" and "social life" with getting drunk and seem to believe they come hand in hand.
To the majority of people "going out" means to simply go and get drunk at a club.
When I "go out" I'm going the cinema, a restaurant, shopping or on a trip with friends.
The people who have a hard time understanding this are the problem.
The amount of people that have said to me "Do you go out? What do you do?" I tell them and they say "no I mean drinking" and then act disgusted when I say I don't drink.
Kinda pathetic really.
