I don't drink hard liquor, which is a bit shameful to admit...
Not at all. I used to drink quite a bit (back when I was in the Navy). However, eventually I recognized that I wasn't drinking because I enjoyed it so much as to "keep up" with the people I was with. I'd often drink until I made myself ill, which was certainly no fun, so for the most part I stopped. I may still drink wine occasionally, or have a couple beers, or even drink a shot once or twice in a year, but I'll usually just have a (diet) Pepsi instead. It's nothing religious and I don't resent those who do indulge, but I don't think it's good to drink due to social pressure, which is what I did in my youth.
