I had friends in grad school who did drink in higher amounts than I, though not to excess. One of them pressured me a bunch. I stopped hanging out with her. Others pressured me a little, but in a joking way, and I still see them occasionally but do not go out of my way. When time and my life moved on, I didn't go out of my way to see them frequently. My high school and college friends don't really drink, and that's who I still identify as my (face-to-face) friends. Which came first, my friends, or my non-drinking?
As for the respondents here, it is worth noting that only ayashi and did I know in-person before online, and four of the respondents I've never met in person. My online friends are at least 75% separate from my ftf friends, and I had no direct reason upon writing this to know whether most of my LJ friends drink or not.
