Loners

anything but queasy or sick; it never made me feel good in any way. As far as going out to bars with people, I don't go because of the overwhelming noise. After only a short time I feel besieged and unhappy. I don't really care if other people get a bit sloshed, really, unless they become loud and obnoxious. My BIL & SIL are big drinkers, and we had a blast with them when we went on a cruise together. But they aren't obnoxious drunks...

Stick with your other activities for socializing. I also have a nature bunch I go out with, and several people with whom I go to plays, movies, etc.
