How to replace too much booze in the gay world??
Shakesthecoffecan:
I think too that it is not only a matter of alcohol being so important to gay people, but a matter of moderation.
You take a group of people who have been, or spend a lot of their time isolated, comming together to be theirselves, they want to celebrate, but sometimes take it too far. I see nothing wrong is a drink or two or three, as the case may be. Sometimes it is the social lubricant needed to open up. Look at Jack and Ennis and the pint they consumed, that left him with a top grade head ache the next morning.
Alcohol has a place in the scheme of things, but when it exceeds that place it destroys. SO replace it,no. Replace our attitudes, that is the way to go.

We have had one or more coffee houses become popular gay hangouts in our community. However, no one goes to a coffee house at midnight on a Saturday night to get laid. As long as so much of gay life revolves around bars, I think replacing booze is a lost cause. :(

I think you can still get laid without booze.

Let's not propagate the myth and stereotype that all gay men and women drink and do illicit drugs more than anyone else. There is and always has been a large faction of the gay community that have no interest in gay club, yet still have a drink now and then. It's hard enough dispelling all those silly stereotypes without giving them additional credence here.

There are more straight bars than gay ones. Perhaps the booze problem is a people problem, not a gay one.
