We are the different ones, we cannot drink socially, That is what it comes down to, they are "normal" society and having a drink now and then is "normal" for them and in most movies(and in real life)this is a socially acceptable "norm". On the other hand getting "hammered" as you put it is not anything at all "normal" in society.

Just not for us.If it causes you to want to join them then turn it off,do not allow it to jeopardize you program.
