[QUOTE="Rumpole, post: 552841, member: 15255"] No it isn't necessary to drink to live, but it's enough a part of certain cultures (Britain, Germany, Australia etc) that not drinking is seen as very unusual, even suspect... in "the City" (in London, that is, the financial industry, law firms, certain insurance conglomerates), it's very hard to get on if you don't, it would immediately raise questions about you... equally, no one in my family has had alcohol problems so not being at least a moderate drinker of alcohol would raise questions. I think this makes more sense for people who come from Europe or Britain or former British colonies other than the US. R [/QUOTE]
