There is a way to be sober and be between the extremes. There is a thriving community of recovering alcoholics who aren’t juice guzzling gym bunnies. They navigate social situations and just don’t drink.

Having seen up, close, and personal the darker shades of the 'alcohol problem' in my past relationships where the liquids were default extension of phenotype, I can say that the problem resides in other countries too. Not as entrenched as you portray here but alcohol as another distraction to combat the modern ennui is something I see too. I have a connoisseur bent when it comes to drinking-socially responsibly drink in good company. Enjoying the art of mixology. Can we appreciate drinking as an art rather than a social engagement?
