There are people who drink and people who get drunk. Drinking is not an evil of the world in my mind, there are many people who drink on a semi regular basis that rarely if ever get drunk. One glass of wine, a beer or two, a margarita or a mixed drink after a rough day or when relaxing is not immoral in my book. That being said, I have become more and more disgusted with people who drink fast and heavy so they can get drunk fast. It turns people I respect into people who should be arrested for being drunk and disorderly.
I'm getting tired of the immature mindset of binge drinking and acting stupid for a good time.
In short I think I'm going to excuse myself from situations where I know the majority of people will be getting drunk because it's just not fun for me anymore.
I've never found the idea of getting drunk appealing. I have a beer with almost every dinner because, well, I like beer. I agree with you, I lose a lot of respect for someone when they start acting like an ass because they've had too much to drink.
