Yes. We both drank -- because the situations where we met involved cocktail parties and schmoozing and having a few drinks with other single professionals at bars to network, etc.

One of the hardest-earned lessons I've learned is that I can't assume that other people think like I do. I thought, as I've seen many others here say, too, that going out and drinking with other singles was part of the singles' life. And that once we got married and had kids, we would move into another way of living. He never thought so. He was an alcoholic from his last year in high school; it just wasn't immediately noticeable in an environment where it was the norm for people to gather at the bar for a drink after work every day.
