I stopped drinking 10 years ago. Still have a good time on layovers, still very active social life (well considering I have 5 kids as active as it can be!). No body cares or even notices anymore.
As a WN pilot, there historically was a big culture of that here. At one time WN was the largest liquor distributor for certain brands! I also know several that are in the special program and thankfully so.
Anyway, times have changed. If your fellow aviators have an issue with someone not drinking, it’s their problem. I seriously feel that you shouldn’t waste any thoughts on this subject.
Enjoy the event.
