I really think it depends upon the situation. I had a female friend whose drunk relatives beat her up and forced her to drink alcohol; she now has some sort of fear about it. Whenever she sees that her other friends want to drink she says that she'll just mind her own business when in reality she's scared. I'm the only one who knows and I tell her that I don't need alcohol because I'm already having fun being with her.
You are a great friend! i quit drinking a short time ago and it's hard to even socialize with most of the people I once thought of as my closest friends. I don't feel any ill will toward them just can't stand to watch them waste their lives by destroying their bodies, acting in ways they normally wouldn't, & not even remembering our moments together. Makes it hard to believe I too was so so lost.
