There is a part of me that wants to drink, but I have health issues.

[Bill the Cat]

I'm full on type 2 diabetic and I can drink in limited quantities should I ever want to. It's not a big deal, but neither is it interesting to me any more. I am also a recovered alcoholic that Jesus set free from that bondage, so I don't bother any more.

I like to eat and play games. It is how i socialize but alcohol is something I dont really want to get involved with. Diabetes and prediabetic issues are a problem with my family. It's not always easy to get to know people. Even without the health issues though I wouldnt want to do anything stupid. I wonder do i need to go out more?

If you don't want to, then don't. That said, I'm not sure what diabetes has to do with it. Getting drunk is pretty over-rated, though. Alcohol loosens inhibitions and enhances your mood, which is why it tends to be consumed in social settings and on joyous occasions. The key is not over-doing it.

yeah you can be their designated driver. my friends love me for that! They can get drunk and I will drive them home. Plus I get to laugh at how drunk they get.

You can socialize without alcohol. I never drink it. Never.
