    People like to drink when socializing. It’s not something they choose because there are no other options.

      Conversely, a lot of people abstain from drinking. Entire cultures abstain.

        Of course, I myself don’t like to drink alcohol. My point wasn’t to imply that everyone drinks just that a lot of social activities are built around drinking because people want to drink, not because there are no other choices.
