I enjoy my cocktails and getting inebriated once in awhile. You would judge me to be unworthy.
Nah... the 'once in a while' makes a pretty significant difference to me. Plus, it helps a lot if you're awesome when not inebriated. I probably wouldn't want to witness your extreme
inebriatedness, but that's all.

I don't understand why you think going to a party and getting drunk and falling off a bike makes someone stupid, or is a reason to break up with them. You may not be part of the 'straight-edge' culture, but you sure sound like it. It's one thing to be frustrated by people's general stupidity, and to try to associate only with people who fit your intellect, or whatever; it's a whole other thing to treat other people as inferior based on your preconceived ideas about what constitutes stupidity. You could be wrong. In fact, your story kind of reminds me of Seinfeld... Jerry always found some stupid reason to break up with a girl... turns out he was an asshole all along.
It doesn't
make them stupid, it
makes me consider them stupid. Neither do I think of them as inferior, I just consider it a flaw.
Since alcohol plays a big role in most of the social interactions of the world, I know I'm not the majority and maybe I can be considered an uptight asshole, but it's also not as bad as it sounds, it's not like I'm absolutely intolerant of people who drink. It might be hard to describe the point of the scale of gray I'm in.
And regarding break ups, as I said in my earlier post, we were just starting to go out and it wasn't anything serious... Fortunately, the break ups in my serious relationships have all been very well justified. I never saw Seinfeld, but there's an episode of Friends in which Chandler suffers a crisis because he always found some stupid reason to break up with a girl.
However, there's always the chance that I might've just been an asshole all along
