The world has gone mad.

It was our turn on Saturday night to host a party with a group of old friends. We do these about 4 or 5 times a year and they are generally filled with heavy drinking etc. This was the second one this year and i obviously didn't drink, but i noted the following comments i got during the night:

1) One drink wont hurt you.
2) Why aren't you drinking its more fun.
3) Aren't you drinking again what is wrong with you?
4) Aren't you drinking. That's a shame?
5) Are you turning Gay? (supposed to be a joke)

I have pretty thick skin so i wasnt offended but it lead me to think about why society thinks in this way. Why do people think it is abnormal not to drink when that should be more the norm? What hope have our children got in the future when our adults think this way?
The more i venture into sobriety, the more I think the world has gone mad and maybe this can only been seen through sober eyes!
