I’m curious of folks who hang with mostly or some group of gay friends and their individual and collective relationships with alcohol.
I made a conscious effort in my late 20s to meet new gay friends through sports leagues and other social outlets. Many of them are great people with fantastic qualities. Most are in the their early to middle 30s. I’ve noticed through the years that even those these people are well into adulthood they spend most of their entire weekends getting drunk and going out. Drinking Friday, Saturday brunch, drinking the rest of the day and again on Sunday. This is of course not to say people shouldn’t do what they want or that people are alcoholics. But I do think the normalizing of the sort of “college age” drinking habits well into middle adulthood that gay culture has adopted a lot of can be harmful.
just wondering other gay men’s experience with this culture. It seems pretty rampant in the big cities I have lived.
