    It’s one small thing to be thankful for. At the same time that I started losing my tolerance and drinking went from “yea!” to straight “blech”, sober curious became more of a trend. Any decent bar/restaurant will have a (good!) mocktail or two, and non-alcoholic beer really has lagers and IPAs figured out.

    And I don’t feel like there’s any social pressure or scrutiny over what I’m (not) drinking.

      People who care that you’re a non drinker are people with problems that you generally dont want to be a part of.

        There’s a spectrum between people actually having a problem with you not drinking, and the general social pressure one experiences when out at a bar.
