Add me to the group whose circle doesn’t give a hoot about whether folks drink or not. I usually don’t and have never heard even an iota of a protest - nor do I preach about why I tend to not drink often (esp since I have no particular reason TBH).
Reading this thread makes me glad I have the friends/family I have!
One of my lads is already married and a second is getting married this summer. Neither has chosen to have alcohol at their wedding/reception. No one seemed peeved about that either - at least not out loud to us. The previous rehearsal dinner had open beverages though no one drank a lot - perhaps a beer or two. This one will be at a restaurant that doesn’t serve alcohol. We’re kinda counting our lucky stars that we haven’t had to pay a higher bill! We had our fairly rare drinks this past week on vacation and the $$ can add up quickly.
