In my area, those who don't drink are looked upon with suspicion. Are you sick? - That's the first thing they ask you... 😅 I don't like hard liquor, so it's mostly beer, sometimes wine. There have been breaks of 3-4 months without any drugs or alcohol, and those were unforgettable days, really!
Yep, it's the same here, or has been in the past, in Australia where the drinking culture is stong. I never bowed to the pressure though.
