Alcohol in Your Life

 “Some people identify drinking as, ‘We’re going to have fun’ and some people have the idea, ‘I don’t need alcohol to have fun,’” said Markesha Miller, a therapist based in Columbia, S.C. “That’s an important conversation that needs to happen in the getting-to-know-you stage — making sure your values align and the way couples spend time together aligns.”

Everyone has different perspectives about imbibing, which can stem from a variety of experiences and religious beliefs, Dr. Miller said. These views and lifestyles can influence if and how a pair moves forward in a relationship, or even onto a second date.

Sometimes sobriety can be a deterrent or catalyst for interacting in the first place.
