Exactly my point in my last post. I find it so insulting with that assumption... its assuming because you don't desire it anyone who does desire it has a problem. I've had numerous times where people assume I have a problem because on a Saturday night I want some whiskey or beer with my food, I obviously can't control myself when they don't see me.
I completely agree with the house rules. Why? Because I can avoid the boring parties. Unless they are a close friend who has a serious issue, I'll simply skip non-alcohol dinners. Even though in a normal dinner I might have 1 glass of wine. Alcohol is a social lubricant that helps people interact and relax. It's not an evil concoction that instantly causes everyone to slur, trip, and have unwanted sex with others after more than 2 sips.
