Having read (and been surprised by) the comments your other friends made, I want to offer an alternative reason why you don't drink to excess: Your friends don't. The control reason makes a certain amount of sense to me, but I don't think it a coincidence that the vast majority of the people who responded avoid alcohol completely or almost completely.
I enjoy an alcoholic beverage from time to time, usually beer, occasionally something harder. If I had money, I'd wake myself up every morning with a shot of single malt Scotch [or maybe I'd do it right before sleep... i haven't decided yet ;-)]. But I don't think I've ever had more than two beers in an evening when on my own. But when I've been out with friends, celebrating something or saying goodbye to someone or observing some other occasion, I will consume far more than that.
