Hey bob
If you can keep yourself sober around a bunch of people drinking, then maybe you should go out to bars with friends. I know some might think thats a really bad idea, but for someone w/aspergers, it might be worth the risk.
But only if you can stay sober.
Personally, I can go to parties where everyone is wasted and keep myself under control. I sip a beer and nobody notices that I'm actually not drinking. And if they do, I guess they don't crack on me for it.
Not sure how severe your asp is, but when you go out, try not to think of everyone else as normal and you as someone with aspergers. We're all human. Just try to have a good time.
If you didn't already find it, wrongplanet.net has a really active asperger's forum. And the rest of the site is really really great too.
