Stayed away.

And, it turns out, there really is no attraction for me there, I have no business hanging out at drinking events. And I still don't, to this day.

Obviously can't avoid social occasions where people consume alcohol, it is a part of the fabric of society, 60% of the adult population being classified as drinkers, but there is a very important difference between drinking events and social occasions that involve people drinking.

Even newly sober I was able to distinguish between the two.

Good luck.
