I don’t drink so I don’t really know about this. But from what I see a whole lot of people would not get together if it weren’t for alcohol. Please prove me wrong.
First off, how important is alcohol to casual sex? Would you hook up with the people you did if alcohol wasn’t involved? Do you think that you would have fun when you go to Marti Gras or Spring Break if alcohol wasn’t so prevelant?
Second, how important is alcohol to the more emotionally intimate relationship. Once you form a bond with someone, is alcohol still an in important ingrediant in foreplay?
Though it is a partial factual question, I think it’s more likely to get opinions as replies. I think you might want to e-mail a mod and have them switch this over to IMHO, considering at least part of the question is a poll.
That said, for some people I know, both of legal age and not, alchohol is terribly important for getting together with friends (I don’t know how integral it is on the casual sex front, however. I’d guess it definitely plays a big role, though saying they’d never get laid without it might be stretching things somewhat).
As far as the social aspect, for some (though definitely not the majority) of my friends and aquantiences, it’s almost as if they can’t have fun together without having alchohol. Or maybe getting together to get drunk/meet for a drink is the most convienant excuse they have to get together? And of course there are those who fall somewhere in the middle…they will go out and get smashed, on occasion, and, of course, (probably the same number who do drink frequently, actually) never drink at all. Again, both above and below the legal age.
In my own relationship, neither of us drink, either socially or for…uh, sexual enhancement, shall we say. Granted, we are both underage, but that has nothing to do with it. If we wanted alchohol, we could obtain it with little difficulty. The interest just isn’t there.
