I don't drink, and have taken stupid insults from people often. Even friends who, if it wasn't for me being the DD, wouldn't have been able to come to events with me, due to them drinking. Needless to say, I don't hang with them anymore. People don't like others around them not engaging in excessive behaviour, because it makes them stand out as being excessive. They want to "blend in" and "be cool" with it, so will want you to drink and try to pressure you, or whine and try to shame you, make fun of you or whatever. Thankfully, I'm immune from such nonsense, as I graduated from high school a long time ago. Some of my old friends obviously haven't, despite being in their 30's-40's.
I've seen WAY too much excess of it in my time, even causing very serious injuries, car accidents, abuse of others and what not. It's expensive, and I don't like the taste. And don't need it to have fun. Or as an excuse/crutch to behave in a certain way like many I know do.
