It can actually be a problem for those of us who don't drink alcohol to get the same networking and business opportunities because so much of our social and professional activities revolve around drinking.

And as cannabis becomes legal more and more in the US, it's important to remember that not everyone consumes cannabis either. And that choice does not constitute a judgement against your choice to use it. I'm saying this as a cannabis advocate and user, it's not for everyone.

Totally. I can't even describe the looks I got once around a campfire when I said I didn't feel like smoking the communal joint. It wasn't even that I wasn't a smoker, just didn't feel like it.

My family has a history of alcoholism, including my mother who used it to numb her depression. I refuse to drink because of that and I wish more people understood.

Same. Although have to say everyone has been super respectful at games conferences.

I’ve also been to quite a few games events recently where there’s been free alcohol available, but absolutely no non-alcoholic alternative. Not even water. The assumption seems to be everyone is going to drink alcohol. I do wish that would change.
