Non-Alcoholic By Choice

I am a non-alcoholic by choice. I do get uncomfortable at places where there is boozing going on and other options are very meagre !
Just to give you an analogy - How will a vegetarian feel if i put a chunk of mutton or beef on his plate and give him no other choice ? He will have to either have it or not eat anything ! Though he has to pay for whatever is there on his plate ! Is it not unfair ?
Its the same feeling that i have toward booze ! And these booze treats are really getting on my nerves! But I am somehow trying to bear these minor events which have no value for me ! Maybe the people having booze think just the reverse. They might think that an evening spent chatting and having good food is useless, if you dont have booze. I am still trying hard to gauge... why i have fallen into the minority... Has the world changed that much that i am having difficulty in breathing ?
I think choice should be given to the person who attends a treat. And yes... choice of "Equal amount".. I say this because, to enjoy to the same level, u need to have delicacies whose cost will come upto approximately what the booze costs which these people brand as "over spending"...They just dont realise that they are denying that pleasure to that person, while on the other hand themselves taking pleasure out of drinking!..... The debate continues.....and will continue...
