If you do not drink
Re: If you do not drink
When I go out with friends I drink one or two beers or cocktails if the mood is right but prefer a coconut much more in that climate.
Alcohol has absolutely nothing to do with enjoying myself in Cambodia.

Drinking 99.9% under the table isn't such a feat depends and who you drink with, I personally struggle after a few but still enjoy a drink no matter what time it is
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Re: If you do not drink
Double post; must have been pissed. Actually, I don't drink any more, and I don't drink any less. Well that's not entirely true. I am drinking less.

Re: If you do not drink
You could ask the 'If you do not drink..." question about all kinds of societies and cultures, all around the world, regardless of whether you're talking about expats or natives.
Personally, as a Brit who doesn't drink (but an English teacher who may have just found the perfect example of the word "oxymoron") I try not to judge those that do.
But I am often left wondering where the social aspect of drinking comes into play when people feel the need to have had a few drinks before they start to open up and be sociable. Am I talking to the real, unexposed person or is there a middle man at play, refracting the conversation in the same way the light is refracting through their glass?
Personally, as a non drinker, I find life out here in the KOW just as enjoyable, if not more so, as it was back home. I have a great partner who plays sport for the Cambodian national team, and therefore doesn't drink at all, and together we live as quiet and peaceful, yet at the same time just as sociable lives as I could ever imagine anywhere.
Being a non-drinker has never been a problem for me out here.
