Yes. I have learned that I don't enjoy dating someone who does not drink at all...and at the same time, anyone who drinks to get drunk or drinks more than a couple of times a week is also not for me.
Why don't you?
Do you think such a person would judge you or not be fun to hang around?
My problem was that I could not stop drinking. So, while I spent a good amount of time in bars, I was too drunk to accomplish anything with quality women, and instead would wake up next to ugly, large, undesirable women.
Lol. So I'm guessing you now have it under control right?
My lack of drinking has not hurt my social/dating life because I'm married. I spend most of my free time with my family or with friends who also do not drink.
However my lack of drinking has hurt my career. I know for a fact that people that "play the game" get the perks. It may not be fair but thats life.

I seriously would like to understand.
It is nothing bad, but certain people hang out with certain people due to like interests. Just like someone who is very huge into literature, and on the weekends discusses literature with their friends, it might be a little awkward if the person they are dating never reads.

I see.
But don't you think opposites can attract sometimes i.e Non-drinker with Social-drinker?
Your experience is similar to mine. Some people in my meetup groups had me try some drinks, telling me I probably hadn't found the right one yet. They introduced me to some "sweet beer" (Hurls) and some mixed drink.
Didn't work.
I can drink soda all day.
Yeah, they all seem to think that if they can just figure out what type of drink suits you then you'll soon be on your way to delightful drunkenness.
Them: "Oh here, if you didn't like that particular red whine, you may like this white whine."
Me: "This tastes just as horrible, but in a slightly different way."
Them: "Ooh, try this hard lemonade. You'll probably like it."
Me: "Tolerable. Would taste much better if it was just regular lemonade."
Them: "Try this rum with Coke. Surely you'll like it."
Me: "Hey, that's not especially awful. Kind of taste like vanilla Coke, except it's ruined by the taste of alcohol."
Them: "Try this beer."
Me: *vomit* "Why do you hate me?"

Two of my better friends are both either non-drinkers or very occasional drinkers. I get along with them well, mainly because they 'get' me. I don't need the power of EtOH to open up to them.
