I always found this discourse confusing, because this is my alcohol intake: 

1 pint of guinness / week (usually on Friday)
1 glass of whiskey / fortnight
1 glass of wine / month

More or less, you know. So if you asked me "do you regularly drink alcohol" my answer would have to be "yes", but then my actual intake wouldn't even register on alcohol questionnaires. 

That's why I equally reject the notion that I should "stop drinking" because, why? I realise I must be in a minority because of my habits, but surely I can't be the only one?

Most of my buds do not drink. 

I've been thinking drinking has been declining a ton. 

But I wasn't sure if it was just because I don't drink and so that's who I hang with.

Its great to see alcohol being less popular!

yeah was just thinking this today, similar habits here (though mostly cocktails only)

not sure why it’s often framed as a binary option (drinker or non-drinker)
