Thanks to all for good wishes!
Pedr:
I'm in UK too, so know how much alcohol figures in socialising. You might find that if you start a new thread called something like "no alcohol socialising", some of the others who also cant have it could give you some support (and maybe suggestions..)? There are loads of people who cant/dont drink, not that you can tell easily.I suppose some things are less boozy than others eg meeting for coffee, lunch, a film, or a walk rather than a pub or club. But depends on what you and your friends usually do- I can see that if you are a young raver these are not viable options!
Lots of luck
Fi

Living in the UK, socialising [which is one of the few things I can enjoy] without alcohol is about as much fun as nailing your thumb to the floor :-(
