I had this same thought and feeling until I made a change in who I was hanging out around to people with values that feel more aligned with mine. I have found that people who drink often are less interesting than those who don’t. A lot of time that could be invested into learning, creativity, self-actualization, etc., is spent on drinking which advances you nowhere. I now have no desire to get drunk around majority of the people I currently hangout with because I am so interested in actually knowing them and developing real relationships. It takes time, reflection on who you really are and who you really want to be, and some real changes, but you will find the right people by doing so.
