You know Kurzgesagt isn't a person, right? It's German for "in a nutshell". (Litetally "shortly said".) It's a production studio.

Just watched today. I'm glad that I am not seeing alcoholic friends anymore. I am very lightweight (or u can say efficient at getting drunk) so didn't enjoy drinking to match friend's level of drinking

Interesting video. It seems likely that the trend of young people drinking less will continue. It's so different than when I was younger in the early 2000s.

I gave up drinking in December. I'm so fucking lonely now. The episode is accurate.
I wasn't the first, but slowly my friends are all starting to quit drinking and we still hangout regularly. I still go out with friends that drink and make sure I have a non-alcoholic beverage at hand at all times. Any "friends" that make a big deal about it (which isn't very many tbh) are cut out of my life now...
Conversations are definitely different than they used to be and our get togethers tend to be shorter, but we've slowly been adjusting and we do things a little differently now. More games, destinations other than a bar, etc.
I'm not belittling how you feel, it's different for everyone. Just letting you know that it can be different.
If the only way for your friends to hangout is to do drugs and alcohol, they're not that great of friends because they need to be under the influence at all times to vibe together.
Have you tried replacing alcoholic drinks with non alcoholic drinks? I switched to non alcoholic cocktails and non alcoholic beer which has become very common and quite good where I'm from. So this allows me to continue to hang out and socialize with friends as usual. I don't have to turn down going to a bar with them and I can bring my own beverages to parties. It won't help loosen you up, but you can still socialize like you always do without making a big thing of the fact that you're off alcohol.
I'm not gonna lie, being around drunks while sober is obnoxious. Also Trump took my job so it's not like I got the money to spare to buy virgin drinks.
Why give up all? Can't control only a few?
Not OP, but that's an incredibly common situation.
Cholesterol, weight, and high blood pressure. I'm getting older.
Do not fear the solitude that comes with raising your standards.
