I feel fortunate in having some great friendships that...even while drinking...that didn't revolve around drinking. I have one pal who has never ever seen me drunk..she can't even fathom it.
But I also have friends that were "drinking buddies"...people I really don't have much desire to spend time with sober...not for any length of time.
I guess that's pretty sad.
As others of said, friendships based on great, true things other than alcohol...will survive.
