Aside from getting shit-talked in to a game of beer pong around a year and a half ago, at a party, I haven't had a drop of alcohol since like '09 or so.
I personally never really thought I had a problem. I just don't like the taste of alcohol and I don't like the feeling it gives me. My problem was that I was hanging out with people who did have drinking problems and thus I got suckered in to drinking with them.
In your dry time, I would suggest exploring your other interests.
