I totally agree here. It only becomes noticeable when you don't drink, but when you do, it's painfully obvious the bias inherent in people around alcohol consumption.
I have no issue with people drinking around me and will happily go to a bar and order a virgin mixed drink, but when major team-building activities revolve around drug consumption, it starts to become a bigger issue. Not to mention the fact that alcohol lowers inhibitions and makes people do really stupid things -- like make inappropriate jokes or much worse.
