Who says a life without (or even just with less) alcohol is boring? There’s millions of things to do besides drink. There’s thousands of hobbies and sports to enjoy. There’s vast areas of natural and cultural beauty to explore. There are countless cities and cultures to visit, cuisines to taste, music to enjoy.

Seriously, people who think that drinking is the only thing to do are the boring ones.

Alcohol is a drug, literally. So is caffeine and nicotine.

Trouble is, alcohol goes really well with a lot of those things.

To be fair most people can't visit countless cities weekly, can't visit or don't care for the nature you like, and the increased injury risk of many sports (compared to just cycling for cardio and doing resistance training) is probably as bad as the risks from moderate drinking.

People obviously do not think that drinking is the only thing to do.

But in your example, when exploring a far-away land, a few beers with the locals in some pub can greatly enhance the experience.
