I had to make that choice too, I made my online dating profile when I was drinking (I think most people do lol). I finally decided that if I'm going to be serious about sobriety that anyone I meet to potentially date needs to know I don't drink anymore, so I changed that part to: Drinks-never. I realize that may result in less women being interested in me because they say "uh oh, alcoholic, no thanks" or because alot of people don't feel comfortable drinking at all around sober people and alot of people need that booze crutch to get through a first date. But you're much better off cause people know what they're getting into when they go out with you. I had a date that started really awkwardly where she ordered a beer and I got a diet Coke, she kept poking around for why I don't drink and it was uncomfortable since I'd only know her for 5 minutes. Also, who knows maybe you'll meet someone else that's sober that you can relate to.
