Social repercussions of quitting alcohol??l

We went out to dinner last Friday with some people who don’t usually drink. I said something like “Are you guys planning to drink, because if not, we will get separate checks so you’re not paying for alcohol.” That’s about the extent of my questioning whether or not someone is going to drink.
Neither of my sons drink, and one has commented that it’s not fun to be around drunk people (especially the one that drops your phone and breaks it).
