If drinking is the one thing that brings you together, that's what the friendship is really all about... an excuse to drink.

You nailed it. I have a friend who quit drinking and he was depressed about his loss of "friends" after he quit drinking. I simply pointed out that if they were true friends he would still be in contact with them - just like he never quit drinking. I told him his "friends" resent him because he did what they wish they could do - put the bottle down.

P.S.; I have to admit, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
