It's common in many industries, including my own. I don't really drink anymore, and if people give me shit about it, I simply make them feel badly about how much they drink. Being a 23 year old who's mature enough to know how dangerous alcohol's effects on someone can be, it's not hard to tear someone a new asshole if they disrespect me for not getting wasted and doing something innapropriate.
If you're a strong person, you can either ignore them, deflect them, or go on the offensive. I usually go in that order.
Alcohol is an excuse to lose inhabitions and leave reality. People who often get intoxicated usually have a reason besides wanting to party. It's good, Jazz, that you know better.
